Serelis: “The choice of the six will be determined by chemistry – Ponitka will not be cut”

THE Panathinaikos broke out in Apollo of Patraswhom he defeated with a score of 108-77 for the 21st game of the Basket League.

After the match, Christos Serelis spoke at the press conference so much about his appearance Panathinaikouas well as for the major issue of the six foreigners who will be preferred for the playoffs.

We remind you that at the moment the “greens” have 7 foreign players declared, from which a final six should be determined, with no possibility of change during the playoffs.

His statements in detail:

“Today we had two goals. The first was to play a good game and continue the good performances we have had recently. And the second is to divide the participation time and give the children who haven’t had it so far, but also breaths for the children who have pulled an oar in the last month and I think we succeeded in both. We had good periods in attack and bad periods in defense, but we also rotated to be fresher because we have another important game for the Basket League in two days.”

For the criteria for the selection of the 6th team of foreigners in the playoffs: “The first criterion is health. If we are all healthy and well then it will count for some time to train together and see which 6 foreign team has the best chemistry, because it is true that there have been some mistakes in some positions and we have to be sure that whatever 6 foreign team we decide on will be ready to play and deliver.”

For Ponitka: “Every day that passes I expect some good news, but in this equation we may have to make decisions without seeing some players. For me Ponitka, I already said it 2 weeks ago, he is a very key player of the team. It doesn’t matter if he scores, he can link all the positions together and I think he’s valuable and as long as he’s in the team and healthy there’s no way he’ll be cut.”
