Larentzakis: “We can be better in the second match against Fenerbahçe”

THE Giannoulis Larentzakis considers that the Olympic has plenty of room for improvement ahead of tomorrow’s Game 2 against Fenerbahce for the Euroleague playoffs. “People have supported the team for the last two years, I want an even bigger pulse on Friday,” he said.

In detail, “Larry” talked about:

– the risks that exist for the defense of Olympiakos headquarters: “The first match is over, we are looking at tomorrow’s match. Each game will be unique. The first match has the risk of defending your home ground, but I think the same is true for tomorrow. We have to play with the same concentration, energy and determination in defense. We can improve even more in defense and make it 2-0”.

-what should Olympiacos improve on Friday: “In defense we can improve some things and in attack not to rush the first shot. In general, I think we played a good game. There is definitely room for improvement and I believe that tomorrow we will be even better.”

-the possibility that Fener will present something different: “We have discussed another rotation mainly in the pick and roll defense, but we will stick to our plan. We will start to get energy from the defense to get a rhythm in the attack, where we had a very good percentage.”

-the support of the world: “The people in the last two years have shown that they support the team and there is a lot of positive energy and a good pulse on the field. Tomorrow I want more energy to make it 2-0 and then go to Istanbul.”
