Papatheodorou: “We are playing very good basketball, Prometheus will add”

Very happy with the win (100-95) of Prometheus on her AEK Betsson BCbut more with the excellent atmosphere that exists in his team, said o Ilias Papatheodorou.

In fact, the Greek coach said that the Patrinos could get the pink card with a bigger margin, while at the same time announced that it will be added soon.

“We achieved the most important victory of the year, so far in terms of the level of the Greek league. And the reasons are many. It was an opponent with a very quality roster, with a very good coach, a great team that had a lot of people with it. At the same time we were coming off a week that was a bit outside of what we expected. With the difficulties that existed on our trip to Vilnius. We faced a lot of adversity. However, we checked the game from the beginning. We were better throughout the game, even when AEK Betsson BC tried to fight back. And it made sense. We showed our character as a team, which is still under construction and needs to manage some situations better. And it makes sense too. We are very proud of the players and their effort. We are very grateful to the people for their support and we want to continue what we are trying to create at the same level and even better. Good luck in AEK Betsson BC and good progress in Europe“, initially stated the coach of Patrina.

And he continued:Even though we play basketball that excites people and we like it, we have gaps. We are a relatively inexperienced team. If we exclude DeShon (s.s. Stephens), the rest of the guys are 24, 25 and 26 years old. Plus the kids from our program who have a role. It is reasonable in some difficult situations not to have the right decisions. We have to take into account that the opponents are also playing, who are also of a high level. The fatigue factor also plays a role. However, we will improve some decisions at the end of the matches. But we want to keep the big picture. And the big picture is that we play very good basketball and we have a great atmosphere within the team. And that’s what we have to keep. We have time to improve the racing stuff. You will find out whether there will be any additions in the next few days. But it will happen».

To conclude:We had given some commands that weren’t exactly executed, but that happens in the game. There was fatigue. The mistakes were justified. Based on our performance we deserved to win by a bigger margin».
