Bartzokas: “This with three games in three days doesn’t happen even with the national teams in the summer”

With pluralism in attack and seriousness in defense, o Olympic won 87-68 the Pigeon bwin and advanced to the semi-final of the Final 8 of the Cup.

After the match, Mr George Bartzokas he focused on the fact that there is no expected result in basketball despite the lower potential of the opponent, while he commented on the very stressful schedule of the tournament with the many consecutive matches in a few days.

In detail what he said:

For the victory over Peristeri bwin: “The expected outcome for everyone is never easy, nothing is given in life. We were playing with the third team in the league, which had no stress. They have dynamism in defense and we had to make the right and quick decisions with our team play. We didn’t fall into the trap of mistakes, we had 26 assists against a team we respect a lot. Congratulations to Peristeri, but also to our children. “Unfortunately a tightening of Goss did not allow us to rest Walkup more.”

On whether Olympiacos can be in danger from such opponents only when they give rights: “It is obvious when we have a Euroleague game before that there is a lack of mood. The players play with 30-40% less intensity than they have in the Euroleague. Under these circumstances there may be surprises. The Greek league is in a constantly improving state. There are 5-6 teams at a good level and even the ones fighting for survival are worthy. We have helped a lot as a team to make basketball what it is, with our marches in Europe in the last two years.”

For the three games in a row that Olympiacos can play in the Final 8: “Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, but it’s clearly bad. In Spain, Italy and Turkey there are gaps. This with the three games in three days doesn’t happen even with the national teams in the summer.”
