Grigonis: “Better atmosphere in the locker room than last year – Olympiacos is superior at the moment”

Panathinaikos and Olympic they fought a great battle in OAKA, with the guests winning, who prevailed 88-78 in overtime.

THE Marius Grigonisone of the leaders of the home team with 17 points and many big shots, spoke to BasketNews about what caused the loss, the improvement of Panathinaikos and his own performance.

What he told BasketNews in detail:

For what brought defeat: “I hope we can do better on our journey this season. We made many of the same mistakes we usually make. When there’s miscommunication and we miss layups, it costs us a win at this level. We must learn from our mistakes. If we don’t, we will keep repeating the same things. It’s the EuroLeague and we can learn from it.”

On the lack of chemistry in Panathinaikos: “It seems like an excuse. It is the easy answer to give that we are a new team. It’s just that Olympiacos is better than us at the moment.”

On whether he expects the team to improve: “Olympiacos has excellent chemistry. But I believe we will be able to get that too. We have a good dressing room, better than last season and I’m very happy about that. We are all in this together and I believe that everyone has the same goal and wants to help each other. But we have to transform this on the field as well. We have a good team with quality. That’s the positive. The material is here but we have to play as a team.”

For his own performance: “Everything is moving in a better direction. As for myself, I want to take bigger steps and improve. I know the EuroLeague is going very fast and we have to get back to winning ways.”
