Far below the circumstances appeared the Olympic in Istanbul, with the inactivity of the match making him… soft and thus knowing the defeat with a score of 94-80 from the Fenerbahce.
The coach of the podium records on www.sportfm.gr everything that judged the match…
In the second ten minutes the ξεκίνη evil started and in the third it ended: Olympiakos had two significant losses in the second period, which as it turned out were crucial for the continuation of the match in Istanbul. One was McKissick’s injury in the beginning, which left him stuck on the bench for the rest. The other and even more important was the loss of Giorgos Bartzokas, who was sent off with two technical penalties in the 17th minute. From there on, the game started to escape completely from the hands of the “red and whites” from 25 ‘onwards. There, Piraeus made a series of “cheap mistakes”, with Guduric and Pierre giving Fenerbahce a difference and psychology that kept them until the end.
The heavy δεν papers did not fall on the table: The inaction of the match seems to have affected quite three of the main pillars of Olympiacos. Dorsey may have had 14 points, but most came to an end when the match had already been decided. The international guard was not only misplaced for his own data (0/3 two points, 4/7 three points), but also made 7 mistakes. Far from his good self and Sasha Vezenkov. The Bulgarian was very hesitant and mediocre offensively. At the same time, he faced many problems in defense, especially from Polonaras, who was crucial in the victory of the Turks. Third that did not have the expected effect on the game was Mustafa Fal. The French center may have finished with nails all three attempts he took, but apart from the 2 rebounds he did not offer anything else, showing that he was out of the water due to inaction.
Olympiakos is very soft in defense: Undoubtedly, the roster of the “red and whites” has great attacking talent, but what has led them to the very good first round they did in this year’s Euroleague was their defense. So far in the season, Piraeus concede an average of 72.2 points, but Fenerbahce put them 94! This is because Bartzokas’s players did not put their bodies in the fire much and allowed the Turks to easily distribute the ball and shoot with excellent percentages from both close and long distances. Thus, Djordjevic’s team shared 27 assists, making only 12 errors, since they did not face much pressure.
