THE Kostas Sloukas he was not afraid for a moment to take-as so many times-the last shot and gave Olympiacos a great win against Fenerbahce for 2-1 in the Euroleague playoffs.
“I’m not afraid to take responsibility, sometimes you’ll score, sometimes not. In the 3” I had I did my best. The ball left my hand well, in general I felt good today, while Sasha also made a good screen. It’s a dogfight on the pitch and we have a great chance after 2-1 to end the series. I try to do my job and the best for the team. Tactics play a big role. Fener plays a lot with our minds by changing tactics or letting some shots go. I’ve been feeling good lately and I’ve proved it. We punished some of their weaknesses, they also punished some of our weaknesses“, he emphasized.
“Friday’s game will be completely different. Fener reacts after defeats, it showed in the SEF. We have to improve, it is not good for Olympiacos to score 72 points. We should see our mistakes and try again in an amazing atmosphere. Good teams and good players react after losses. In SEF we didn’t have a good second game, we didn’t play very well today, but it’s understandable because there is stress and pressure. Fenerbahçe is a very good team, but we got the win and we are looking at the next step“, he added.
As for his reaction to Sasha Vezhenkov’s big three-pointer that preceded it, he said: “For me it was not a good choice, but for Sasha it was (laughs). He got this shot with an opponent hanging over his arms. I have a lot of confidence in Sasha, he has put in a lot of sweat on the court and that combined with his talent has led him here».
