For a defeat that is not easily digested he spoke of Nikos Zervas commenting on his air News Bulletin 247 him lost Olympiacos final against Real in the Final 4 of Kaunas.
“Olympiacos deserved the title based on the image it had throughout the year, as well as yesterday. A very big opportunity was missed, but that’s basketball. Just like Olympiacos won games where it wasn’t better with baskets at the end, so it lost yesterday. I will compare the final to the Tel Aviv final, with the difference that the current Real is much better than Badalona then. But nothing negates the entire course of the team. The fact that they made it to two Final 4 series and lost in a shootout to two very expensive teams says it all about what this team has accomplished“, said the emissary of the station in Kaunas.
“Olympiacos had to reach the final stretch with a bigger margin, because otherwise it would have given the right to Real’s experienced players to react at the end. Olympiacos missed many attacks and gave Real a chance to win. Real’s offensive rebounds, which offered extra possessions and psychological damage to Barzoka’s players, also cost a lot. Well done to Real, they beat the best team in Europe. It is one of the most magical Euroleagues, with what it did from the playoffs onwards“, he added.
As for the next day? “The way the title was lost is not easy to digest, but Olympiacos must continue. The team can build for its future. Let’s see what will happen with the critical cases of Vezenkov and Sluka. It is not easy to go to the Final 4 every year, but may Olympiakos continue to play good basketball, star in the Euroleague and give joy to its world that traveled by thousands to the barren line of Kaunas».
