Bartzokas: “We were excellent defensively and offensively”

THE Olympic broke it up Virtus Bologna with a score of 117-71, in his best performance this year. The coach of Piraeus, Giorgos Bartzokas, commented on the great creative game played by the “red and whites”, the record number of assists and the excellent presence of the crowd.

Barzokas’ statements in detail at the press conference:

“Obviously I don’t have much to say about today’s game, everything we had to say was said by the players. It was a great performance defensively and offensively. We’ve always had that unselfish approach, passing the ball a lot. It was a record in the history of Olympiakos in assists. For me it is a great credit to the players when they play unselfishly and pass the ball. I want to express my sympathy to Virtus and Sergio who had a bad night, one of those things where nothing goes right.

In the Euroleague when this happens it is very hard. They have a lot of quality, but we scored from everywhere, with buzzer beaters and baskets that cut their legs and they didn’t have the courage to fight. It was a great atmosphere from the people. The schedule is tough in less than 48 hours we play PAOK, then we have a game on Tuesday and Thursday, we have to rest and prepare”.

Regarding the fact that everyone had a contribution, he said: “There are two perspectives. One is the usual grumbling that exists among us Greeks who look for the negative. The tight rotation, when I’m not doing a tight rotation. I want to see the bright side always. We have a team that by all accounts plays good basketball. People in Europe say it too and I stick to it. The problem for the new signings is that because there is a core and a solid team from previous years, it may take some time, but I am satisfied with their image.”
