Shortly before noon and during the usual press conference for the final-4, there was… red and white paranoia! The fans of Piraeus were at the place where this season’s awards ceremony is held and they sang slogans for their team which were passed inside the Fan Zone!
“The whole year is already a reward for the team, what happens in the Final-4 does not mean that it will be a failure. The result does not erase the year we have had, all these records we have made. That we have the best player, the best coach, or the success we have had so far and the recognition from all our rivals. Certainly, the title is the most important thing, that’s what we’re here for and that’s what we want more than anything.”the captain of Olympiakos, Kostas Papanikolaou, said among others.

“For us, the goal is to be at the highest level and we proved it for the second season in a row. I can’t allow anyone in my team to feel like we’ve failed or disappointed if we don’t win the trophy. I know well how strong the competition is, with the best players and coaches. We have played finals since the beginning of October until now. I think it’s three different competitions, the regular season, the playoffs and the Final 4. We have to enjoy our participation here, give everything and if we do it at the end we will be happy”were the words of Piraeus’ technician, Giorgos Bartzokas.

Shortly after, Mike James responded with humor and… self-deprecation to a question about the fact that Olympic he will have a lot of people on his side in Kaunas for the Final 4 unlike Monaco.
“It’s good to have fans”said the American guard, laughing and implying that his own team probably doesn’t even have a similar number of fans, or as demonstrative.

More than 4.5 thousand Olympiakos fans are expected to be in Kaunas for the final-4 of the Euroleague, according to Christos Buffet, sports director of the team who also spoke to Nikos Zervas.
The “red and white” stepped on the floor of “Zalgirio Arena” in Kaunas and trained ahead of the big match, in a program that included shooting and stretching, while Giorgos Bartzokas saw that all his players were in good condition!
