Statements after Olympiakos’ victory against Baskonia were made by Kostas Papanikolaoutalking about how important it is for the “red and whites” to take the first place in the regular season of the Euroleague, but stressing that now the difficulties begin.
In detail what the captain of Olympiakos stated:
“My teammates helped me to have a good game, I felt good tonight, but this is a great achievement for the club, first place in the regular season. It is very important but also means nothing. Because, now reality begins. Now is the time to perform at our highest level and show our character, chemistry and basketball like we’ve played all season.
Now is the time to play our best games and go strong. How we approach each game, being hungry going out on the court and willing to play hard every night, that’s the most important thing.
The playoffs are a completely different story. One bad night can take you out of the entire season. Now it’s even more important, and we have to get even stronger and hungrier to present what we presented this year.”.
