Maximum levels of concentration and good defense on the two best players of Villeurbanne in the guard will be needed by Olympiacos to continue victoriously in the Euroleague, as George Bartzokas stated in the press conference of the match.
In detail, the coach of Olympiacos spoke about:
-the game with Villeurbanne:
“I do not think it matters how we were against Bayern, but how focused we will be on the game ahead. If you look at Villeurbanne’s matches, he was in front many times and in the end he lost. They come from 4 defeats but this has to do with the percentage of their key players, Jones and Okombo. In the last 4 matches they did not shoot well, but they continue to be very solid in defense and create problems. We have to play good defense on these two, as they are the players and from our side to be solid, to play as a team and to do everything that counts in modern basketball “.
-the difference between Bayern and Villeurbanne:
“You can not compare teams. In each one you have your plan. An inviolable condition is that you have to pass the ball. If you attack selfishly against these teams you will not have a result, so the players must be ready and in defense we must show the same person that we showed yesterday in the first half “.
-the absences of Villeurbanne and Costas Antitokoumbo:
“We do not know which players will play. Of course, absences play a role. Antetokunbo is Greek, he plays well and we are all happy for that, but they have several good players on the front line. We always focus on teamwork and not on individual characteristics “.
