With the front line making the big difference in the “eternal” Final 8, o Olympic beat him 69-58 Panathinaikos AKTORwinning the Greek Cup for the third year in a row.
After the match, o George Bartzokas he stated that he was very pleased with the victory and the appearance of his team, while he stood on the coexistence of fans of the two teams on the stands, emphasizing that it is a step forward, but also that there are still many problematic situations that need to be resolved.
In detail what he said:
“It was a game with a lot of intensity from both teams. Our defense was as always very solid, conceding just 58 points and limiting a team with the attacking talent of Panathinaikos, which shows commitment and class. We plan, but the players are the ones who execute, they play for themselves, but also the shirt and the club they represent. That is the biggest blessing for a coach, we are lucky to have these players. I want to thank everyone who is around the team, the staff, the presidents, Mr. Scindilia and our fans who took great joy today. I dedicate the trophy to our dear friend Vangelis, who has multiple sclerosis and fights his own battle every day. This is the biggest battle, there are far more important battles than ours.”
Moses is new to the team, he doesn’t know that if Slukas is left alone he will score. Slowly he adapts to a lot of information, he will get better and better.
We had 1/16 three-pointers and were at +4. We had 13 assists in the first half with 1/14. We said at half-time that if we continue to play well and shoot with confidence, we will win. Players like Kanaan and Peters would make some shots, and once they did, the difference opened up.
We don’t feel like we have a doubt. Everyone around us is questioned, in all jobs. On the way they tell me ‘hold fast, we are with you’, so I don’t feel alone. I feel the support of the team and the people. We feel no challenge, at least from those who matter. Now if some people are trolling…
If Greek basketball takes a step forward but I am constantly being attacked by the president of an opposing team on social media and I can never answer a president, these are small important things for civilization to exist. The fact that there were a lot of people, even fans of both teams, the fact that the teams agreed on the referees and we saw a good refereeing, is a step forward. But since many objections are raised, it is good to keep a small basket.
