THE Panathinaikos he didn’t even succeed against the Effectslosing at home with a score of 87-82 for the 26th game of the Euroleague.
After the match, Christos Serelis spoke at the press conference about his terrible appearance Marius Grigoniswhile he also commented on the situation of Giorgos Papagiannis and the team in general.
In detail what the Greek technician said:
“It was very difficult for us to play today. The conditions are dire. We are all thinking of the families of the victims. I hope this doesn’t happen again. As for the match, I think it’s hard to win a match like this when you concede 87 points at home. We had some moments when our game was good defensively compared to the previous games but we have to improve our tactics in defense and our offensive game. When you consider that we scored 82 points and handed out only 11 assists, it’s easy to understand that we have a lot of work to do. We have games ahead of us and that needs hard work for all of us.”
“We have two players, Grigonis and Thomas, who have been trying very hard for a week. Anyway, it is very difficult that we are left with a change. Grigonis was good today, he had a long time to play like this. But Thomas also shows that he wants to enter the equation of the team, he wants to contribute. We should wait as late as possible to make the change, if necessary, because if we make a change and something happens, we won’t have anything else to do.
We will try to work on all the pieces, it is not easy but we will have to decide soon which is the roster that will finish the championship. Because the goal that remains is the championship, since in Europe we cannot have a chance to enter the playoffs to do something else. It is a problem that we have two different rosters, one in the Euroleague and one for the championship. The team should aim to clarify which roster they will trust to play in the league playoffs.”
For George Papagiannis: “I think I’m the last one who knows or understands what caused Papagiannis’ deformity. The easy answer is that I don’t think Papagiannis is deformed, I think the whole team has not been playing well lately. There was bad psychology, here we are, Papagiannis is the captain of the team, I can see that he wants to improve and finish the season well. The main thing is to understand that the season is not over yet”
