Maroussi fought until the end, but could not overturn the gap he had created Aris who won from Agios Thomas (84-89). Giorgos Limniatis stood up to his team’s poor image in the first and third quarters by taking responsibility.
“We knew that we have a team that plays strong and hard. We had made countless videos so that we could convince the players of what they will face. A team with athleticism and high tempo. We completely mishandled the first and third quarters, it’s my fault. I failed to convince my players how they should play. Characteristically, we conceded 16 points by surprise in the first half – Aris finished with 18 overall. We were 21 points behind but we had a reaction today. In the other games we collapsed. It’s about how we should play early, not in the fourth quarter“, emphasized the coach of Amarousiou.
“We knew that with the defense that Aris would play, we wouldn’t be able to run some systems. We chose a more free game. Ares won’t let you play. We found phases, because my players had the green light to play a simpler game, a simple pick and roll. We did it in the last quarter, not earlier. It would be a game-changing victory for us. We had more assists and rebounds than Aris. We need to be a little more focused“, he added.
