Olympiacos welcomes Anatolou Efes for the 23rd matchday of the Euroleague and in his statements, the Michalis Lountzis he focused on what the “red and white” must do to limit Misic and Larkin and reach victory.
The statements of Michalis Luntzis in detail:
On the dismissal of Scotty Wilbekin in the match with Fenerbahce and the victory of Olympiakos: “It’s not my fault that Wilbekin was sent off. It happened. I made a foul, we grabbed a little hand maybe. We are very happy to have achieved a great victory, but we must forget it. We have one more big game at home, with our world. We forget the previous, go for the next and go for the victory.
It was a team effort. All the children came forward. Maybe some of us played longer. We stay in the win and look to tomorrow’s game. I’m ready, as ready as you can be against two of the best guards in the league, if not the best. It’s hard work, it’s not just one person. It takes more than one, help from all. I will be ready and we hope for the best.”
For the difference with Misic – Larkin: “There is no huge difference between them. They have tremendous aggressive qualities. They can shoot, go to the basket, draw fouls. There must definitely be pressure on the ball, we have to get them into the basket and the rest of us have to be closed to reduce the chances of them scoring. That’s in the words. We start from the defense, let’s go in very strong and in the attack everything will come».
For the 4th sold out of Olympiakos: “We are very happy about it. People give us tremendous energy, we are very happy to see so many people supporting us shouting. Everyone wants to play in a full stadium. We try to do everything to make the people who come to the stadium happy.”
