Serelis: “I have nothing to say about Bacon, the team is above all”

THE Panathinaikos returned to winning ways in the Euroleague, beating him Red Star with a score of 75-66 with a very difficult reversal from -16.

This victory was the first “European” for him Christos Serelis on the green bench. The Greek coach spoke at the press conference about the factors that brought this positive result, while commenting (or rather not commenting) on ​​the fact that he decided to cut Bacon from the squad.

In detail what he said:

“I want to congratulate my players because they played hard in the second half and the way I have asked them since the first day I came here. As you saw we didn’t start the game well at all, we didn’t play good defense and we didn’t make good decisions. At half time we spoke and said that we have to win through defence. In the second half we conceded just 24 points and got a well deserved win.

I have nothing special to say about Bacon. He did not play a game, as other players have not played at other times. What is more important – and those who understand this will always play – is that the team is above everyone and that the team to win must play the way we played in the second half. I’m not downplaying the issue at all. It’s our first win after six straight defeats in the EuroLeague. There are some guys who played and only conceded 24 points in the second half, we have to talk about them. I feel neither justified nor unjustified. In all games we have a reaction, only this time the reaction was continuous”
