In the details that decided Game 4 of the series with the Lantern and in his defeat Olympiakou with a score of 73-69 stood after the end of the match o George Bozikas.
The direct partner of Giorgos Bartzokas, stood at nervousness of the “red and whites” after the many missed free shots, in the appearance of… the team’s first violins, but also in the fact that the Piraeus they fired just 10 shots in such a tough match with many contacts.
The statements of Giorgos Bozikas in detail:
About the game: “It was a game that had a lot of tension, contacts, many fouls, some were given, some were given, some were not. We were nervous in attack, we had to play our game today. At the start we missed quite a few free kicks and were nervous, giving Fener the chance to pick up the pace. It was a game of details, they hit big shots. We are going into the 5th match, we have the home advantage, we have worked for it all year and we want to take advantage of it.
We didn’t have a good reaction in their defense. We don’t move fast. When this happens we give Fener the opportunity. We have to fix all this, we find the shots. Let’s just start being more accurate.”
About the Vezhevnkovs and the fact that many first violin players did not offer what was expected: “The first thing we have to see is that these matches have intensity. It’s hard for someone to play two consecutive good matches in a game like this. Defenses are tough, emotions are high in a few days. Difficult for players to adjust. I don’t think it’s Hayes’ defense that makes it difficult for Vezenkov. It is the continuous play and the fouls that are made and the contacts. Our ten shots today are too few for this match and the contacts it had.
Every match is special, we want our people by our side in Game 5 on Tuesday (09/05), to fight the big battle and conquer what we fought for all year”.
