Panathinaikos-Peristeri bwin: The “greens” for their duty, the visitors for the surprise

Panathinaikos and Peristeri bwin cross swords at the OAKA stadium (7:15 p.m., ΕΟΤ3, bwinΣΕΡΤΟFM 94.6, sport-fm.gr), in the 5th game of the series, with Olympic to wait already in the finals of the event.

On the one hand, the “greens” were defeated once again this season by the very remarkable team of Vassilis Spanoulis and they want victory at all costs to do their duty and fight for another championship in their history. In fact, yesterday’s training (29/5) was completed without surprises or problems of the last minute and the pleasant thing for Christos Serelis had to do with the fact that he saw all the players of the “trefoil” normally put at his disposal for the “final” with the team from the western suburbs.

On the other hand, Peristeri bwin wants to make the big surprise and be the one to be in the finals, something he has never achieved in his history to date. Vassilis Spanoulis’ team is not facing any injury problem, with Leonidas Kaselakis to state how “we want to play our game, with respect for the opponent, but without fear…”, ahead of the big showdown.

The Basket League semifinal series is at 2-2. Christos Serelis’ team defeated that of the western suburbs in the first match (101-57), suffered a heavy defeat in the western suburbs (73-58), won again at home in a convincing manner (89-80), while again meeting the defeat at “Andreas Papandreou” (76-71).
