Bartzokas: “Petrushev and Alba are doubtful”

Without AND his third tall, it is very likely that he will compete Olympic with Alba at SEF on Tuesday (21:15). THE Philip Petrushev he has not overcome the troubles and is doubtful, as he made known George Bartzokas in Monday’s practice.

“Milutinov and Fal are out, probably Petrusev too. In the ‘5’ position we will use Sikmas, while there is also Wright who will have his first training session today, so you understand that I don’t have anything specific in mind. It’s a game we’re going to go out and fight for and don’t let anyone think we’re favorites or that it’s an easy game. It is a difficult game and it is very important to win it“, said the coach of Piraeus.

Referring to new acquisition of the team he said: “The positive thing is that it is in good racing condition. Comes with toys. In the individual training he did yesterday he showed in good condition, but obviously it has to do with his adaptation to offensive and defensive plays. We are giving him some quick video lessons, hopefully his adjustment will be the right one to play as much as possible in a game like this. Surely every day that passes will be in favor of course».

As for playing with her Alba, stressed that he is expecting a difficult evening. “We have the utmost respect for Alba, her coach and her program. He always plays at the same pace, especially at home, he was always a difficult opponent for Olympiacos, since last year we won more easily at their home. We’ve already lost once when I first came. He has a certain game based on high tempo, how they execute offensively and defensively. You have to be very focused with them, control the rebounds and watch the possessions because if you make bad choices they will run in transition“, he pointed out.
