Although he went down with almost half of the team due to the absences, o Olympic he was dominant against a troubled PAOKwhich he comfortably defeated 77-62, in SEF.
The “red and white” lined up with an emergency lineup, with Giorgos Bartzokas speaking after the match about a match that reminded ESKA. The Greek technician commented on the same issue at the press conference, where he initially gave one update for some wounded, while he then stood at Moses Wrightcommenting that he intends to put him in the 12 against Albaeven with one workout.
We remind you that the evenings of jambol with him PAOK were put out of action Petrushev and Lorentzakis for Olympiakos, who did not already count on Fahl, Milutinovwhile the Sikma and McKissick they do not have the right to participate in the Greek championship. On the match sheet it was stated o Williams-Gossbut he did not fight, to guard against “devil’s week”.
What he said in detail:
About Moses Wright: “He will be in the top ten for sure if we have his Letter of Clearance. It will be the first time in my life that I will be forced to use a player after a training session. The need is urgent and we must survive under extraordinary conditions.”
For the reasons that led to the selection of the player: “We went into the market like a lot of injury-hit EuroLeague teams. The World Cup created new data, when in the summer you don’t prepare your body, during the year, where the competition is tough and everyday, your body leaves you, not to mention your spirit. We decided we wanted a tall one, we ruled out those who didn’t have race pace. Anyone who wanted a month was not helping us. We got a kid who played, had experience of at least 5-6 games, is ambitious and will see Olympiakos as a motivation to play and help. Wright is very ambitious, very athletic, he will give us a different dimension. He has to prove that he has the EuroLeague level, the mental readiness.”
On the situation of the Gosh-Petrushevs: “They were on the verge of playing or not playing. They will be treated to play on Tuesday.”
