A bwin Pigeon to… drink in the glass!
His team Vasilis Spanoulis she was “supersonic” in the friendly match with her opponent AEK for the second day of the 4th “Nikos Fassouras” tournament, winning with an emphatic 80-61, and while in the fourth period it had reached up to +29!
The Peristeriotes they “punished” her weaknesses and fatigue of “Union” from yesterday’s game with Cluj, with his entire team Joan Platha to put on a good face in the first half, until of course her strength fails her.
A result that, however, has little importance for the two coaches, since we are in preparation period and both have revamped rosters on their hands, looking for chemistry, homogeneity and cohesion.
The first scorer for the winners was Hunts with 14 points, with Rangland (13p., 6as.), Renfro (12 p.), Poulianite (10p.) and Kaselakis (10p.) to be the four more Peristeri players with double-digit points. As for the “yellow and black”, Tillman and McRae they had 14 and 10 points respectively, with Ben McLemore to make another bad performance after yesterday’s match (2p., 0/8 shooting, 4p., 2ass.), showing that he still needs time to enter the European mentality.
The match:
The Pigeon bwin started with Ragland, Poulianitis, Williams, Hougaz and Zougri, with AEK for her part to select Karabela, Randle, McRae, Kouseloglou and Cabegele in her starting five. Vassilis Spanoulis’ team entered the court quite strongly and with 7 points from Poulianitis, they took the lead with 7-3 at three minutes. After its sluggish start, the “Union” turned up the “speed” and hitting the racket with 7 points in a row Campegele tied the match (10-10) at 5′. Both were bringing out energy and intensity in defense with pressure on the ball, which led the match to many thefts, but also several mistakes. Consecutive three-pointers by Xanthopoulos and Kaselakis made it 19-17, with the quarter ending with a score of 21-19.

With Renfro in the foreground and Rangland up close, Peristeri bwin continued at a high tempo, making it very difficult for AEK. It is indicative that the home team through their excellent defense they got a lot of points in the open field (16-2 in the 1st half), which resulted in them running out of points. With Joan Platha’s team struggling to connect with the opponent’s basket, Peristeriotes found the opportunity in the last five minutes and with a 14-4 streak, they went to the locker room with +12 for 41-28 at halftime.

As in the first half, so also in the third period, Peristeri bwin entered the match very strongly and with two consecutive three-pointers by Rangland and Kaselakis they widened the difference at +16 for 49-33 in the 23rd minute! AEK, faithful to its plan to target the racket, found solutions in scoring with him Justin Tillman, who with four consecutive baskets reduced to 51-39 at 25′. This was also the only reaction of the “yellow and black” in the quarter, who showed signs of fatigue as a result of which they fell into several mistakes, as well as bad choices in the attack. It is indicative that AEK scored only two points in the last five minutes of the period, and those from shots by Randle, with Peristeri bwin finding scores from several players, closing the period at +21 for 62-41!

Despite the big difference, coach Spanoulis’ team not only did not take their foot off the gas, on the contrary, they raised the score even more. With back-to-back 3-pointers by Hunts, the bwin Pigeon increased the lead at +29 (73-44), before the home side loosened up and McRae and Netzipoglou cut in for the final 80-61.
The quarters: 21-19, 41-28, 62-41, 80-61.
