Nikos Zervas will broadcast the match from Istanbul on behalf of News Bulletin 247.
Kaunas is now one victory away for him Olympic!
The “red and white” face again at the “Ulker Sports and Event Hall” the Fenerbahce (5/5, 8:45 p.m., www.sportfm.gr, News Bulletin 247, Novasports Prime), for the fourth match of the playoffs.
The psychology in Piraeus is at a high after the legendary “break” in the third match, with the huge buzzer beater 3-pointer by Kostas Sloukas, which gave them the victory with a score of 72-71. Thus, Olympiacos took the lead again in the series (2-1) and now needs one more win to qualify in the Final Four of Kaunas. In case the Turks prevail, then the series will be drawn in the fifth and last match at SEF (9/5, 9:30 p.m.).
However, the celebrations in the “red and white” camp lasted only a few hours, as everyone knows that the following match will be a completely different… story. The other positive for him George Bartzokas is that he does not face any problems and thus he will have all the players at his disposal.
On the other hand, in Fenerbahce, they quickly picked up their… pieces, after the shock of the defeat, knowing that the next match that follows is “do or die”, as in the event of a defeat, their presence in the Euroleague ends this year. Their stadium is expected to be packed again.
As far as the competitive part is concerned, Dimitris Itoudis will certainly be deprived of his services Devin Booker. From then on, the Scotty Wilbekin and Nemanja Bielica they trained normally and the Greek coach will decide whether to include one of the two in the squad. However, none of the three have played in the series so far.
Finally, this will be it sixth match this year between the two teams, with Olympiakos to count four wins. Two in the regular season and as many in the playoffs.
This year’s results:
Olympiacos-Fenerbahce 94-67 (13/12)
Fenerbahce-Olympiakos 73-93 (31/1)
Olympiacos-Fenerbahce 79-68 (26/4)
Olympiacos-Fenerbahce 78-82 (28/4)
Fenerbahce-Olympiakos 71-72 (3/5)
The referees of the match will be Miguel Angel Perez (Spain), Sasha Puckl (Slovenia) and Mendy Difalla (France).
