THE Luca Banki congratulate him Panathinaikos for the victory over Virtus Bolognastanding on his toughness and discipline in defense and making special mention of the performance of Matias Lessor.
What he said in detail:
“Congratulations to Panathinaikos, who got a good victory. The way we played for 30 minutes, I thought we could go all the way competitively, but at the crucial point we weren’t ready. Panathinaikos was tough, they committed two fouls in 16 minutes with a very good defense with excellent discipline.
We played hard and in the third period, especially, we showed that we can claim the game, but in the last minutes we made a lot of mistakes. Panathinaikos did a great job and Lesor helped them with his athleticism. We need to focus more on the details, show continuity and consistency in our game. We had a good performance for 30 minutes, although we didn’t do anything great, and our three-point percentage, except for Belinelli, wasn’t good either. We have to improve even more.
We have shown a good level of desire and fight, getting things from every player. We also had some changes and we are adapting, waiting for Miki and Polonara, to improve and share the responsibilities better. Every time we try to find a way to be competitive.
If I compare this match with how we played against Real, this is something that shows that we are in the right direction. The competition has a long way to go and excellent teams, we have to find continuity and consistency in our game, especially away from home, where you cannot have such ups and downs. However, I like the desire and spirit of my players and we can do better by learning from each other.”
