THE Ilias Zouros attributed to mistakes at critical moments the defeat of AEK Betsson by Prometheus in its final in the Basketball Champions League setting the tone for Saturday’s crucial match against Peristeri bwin for the championship.
“Congratulations to Prometheus. Unfortunately we didn’t win. We fought, but we made mistakes in crucial parts of the game. This is the end of Europe. We must continue. We have a tough game on Saturday. We want the fans to come to the stadium and support us. It is very important for our team. Congratulations to my players, for the effort“, said the 58-year-old coach.
On the mistakes at the crucial points of the match in the fourth period, he pointed out:Certainly, when mistakes are made in the end, it is a matter of work and a matter of concentration on the details. But to reach the end, other phases precede. We made several mistakes defensively during the game, which we need to improve. We said we need to improve our defense in general. Sure, we were better, but there are some parts where some players need to be more focused and more consistent, so that we can do it. It’s definitely a team thing, what we have to do, because it’s a team sport, that is, someone’s weaknesses, we have to cover them aggressively, we didn’t have a clear mind. I would say that we got to one point, really with a lot of effort and defensively with overlaps. At that point there was a Hale three-pointer, which, okay, I want to see again. But other than that, we made some mistakes offensively, which if they gave us 1-2 baskets, it could have given us more confidence and won the game. But it’s not in this game. It’s in quite a few games. We have to look for it more».
