Not a star player, but the very good team basketball that got him this far should be showcased by Olympic in the Final 4 of Kaunas to reach the end of the journey, as pointed out by Kostas Papanikolaou at the press conference.
“You just have to be the same as you have been all season. You need the same recipe that got you here. We don’t need a hero, someone to do something extraordinary, but to play like we have all year, to be as competitive and as tough. In the end we will see. All teams have had a great season, the odds are numbered and it will depend on who is on their best day and exploits their strengths. We have to enjoy it because we don’t know when we will have the next chance“, said the captain of Olympiakos.
“I hope we all enjoy these days, see some nice games and may the best team win. I don’t believe that in this year’s Euroleague you could at some point say that you will have a good year or not. It was very competitive and the gaps in the standings were small, you couldn’t know the ranking until the end. Neither team was, therefore, certain that they would do well. You just went game by game“, he added.
“The demands are great. We want to claim our chances to bring the trophy back to Greece. It’s not easy, the anticipation makes it harder“, concluded.
