He considers the coming to be an opportunity for all Greek basketball Final 4 of the Cupas stressed by the general manager of KAE Olympiakos, Nikos Lepeniotisafter the draw for the semifinals.
«We hope and wish we have an amazing Final Four. We believe that it is an opportunity for Greek basketball after several years that a Final Four Cup is organized again to wear its best suit again and to show the best possible result. We believe that after several years we have the opportunity to live two amazing days. Let the basketball world be full and let us all be happy in these moments and of course the best to win and we wish to be Olympiakos. I think that the results so far and the matches that take place in the Basket League, show that no game can be certain. Both we and Panathinaikos find it difficult to win many games. There is fatigue from the Euroleague and the consecutive games so it is difficult to win everywhere as it happened in previous years and of course nothing is a given. They are two difficult semifinals, I believe that we will be able to cope and at least in terms of Olympiakos we will reach the final. The fact that they will be two competing semifinals adds even more value to the Final Four, because that is how it should be, that there is always competition. I do not know who will be the final pair. I hope we are there anyway“, He stressed.
Regarding the presence of Olympiacos players in the National Team for the games Greece – Turkey (25 and 28/2) he stressed that although there is no specific agreement, there is a positive mood. «At least from our point of view, there is no specific agreement. What the presidents of Olympiacos also expressed to Mr. Liolios and the administration of the federation is that our players are available for the National Team. As you understand it is a difficult case because the day before we have a match for the Euroleague and the next day the National has the first game. I think it is also a matter of the players how they will feel, if they will be relaxed, if they can help. However, I think that at least in the second game it is even easier for the players to participate. I do not know who will participate, I do not know who the federal coach will invite, but I think it is a good opportunity at least for Friday’s match for the people to enjoy the National here in a very competitive match with as many players as possible from both teams».
