Defeats Rouzomberok and Olympiacos waits for qualification

Olympiacos welcomes Rouzomberok at SEF at 17:00 for the sixth group match of the Euro Cup women’s basketball and needs a win in order to hope to qualify for the next stage of the competition as one of the eight best thirds of the groups, waiting for the remaining results.

Thanos Niklas emphasized that: “We are playing against a team that releases energy in defense and constantly chases the ball and the many contacts. In attack, they rely mainly on the transition game and the many offensive rebounds. A game where we have to stay focused on our plan and do good basic things like 1-1 defense and control defensive rebounds. We will be mentally ready to fight and close the group stage on a positive note.”

Rebecca Tobin added: “It’s a game we have to win, a “must win” game. We know our opponent is a talented team and they play hard. So we have to put out a lot of energy. We looked at their game and how they like to play. Our main goal is to stop them on defense and rebounding.

That will allow us to get out and run in transition and set up our offensive game. If we execute our plan, it will be an exciting game to watch and we will achieve our goal, which is to win.”
