With the second unit making its presence felt more than ever, o Panathinaikos AKTOR prevailed very easily his 93-62 Prometheusin the last match of the second round of the Stoiximan Basket League.
THE Ilias Papatheodorou did not hide his disappointment with his team’s appearance, stressing that with such a competitive image shown by Prometheusthe score is very normal.
In detail what he said:
“We never followed the pace of Panathinaikos. We came to… admire Panathinaikos together with the world. We only looked at them and didn’t deify them. We had no dose of energy and no luck in the match, how we approached the game.”
As for the course in Europe and beyond: “We had a very good run, today’s unacceptable appearance does not diminish it. You have to keep fighting in every game, nothing is over. But today we had a very bad image, we were out of the game.”
For the third round of the championship: “It is an unprecedented condition. We have never experienced it before. I can’t comment on it, because I haven’t experienced it to manage it to see how it is, however it is definitely difficult, in the sense that there are also trips to Europe in between and transfers for the games. But it is a new and innovative idea, which will give more games for the world and for the players who like to play games for sure, but we will see in their management next month, because what we care about is the result.”
For the Prometheus three points and the Greek teams in Europe: “We had three-pointers when we were alone and we had to score them. We had to make 15 three-pointers, but the players were afraid to execute. When someone leaves you you have to perform. It was all three-pointers in very good conditions. They are part of our game and from the moment we found them we had to execute them. For Panathinaikos and Olympiakos, both teams are at a high level, they are having a good year. Panathinaikos is in 2nd place, Olympiacos is fighting for a place in the 6th. The league is competitive, it is very gratifying that both our teams are at a very high level and Prometheus and Peristeri are among the 8 best teams of the BCL, which is now better than the Eurocup and this reflects in Greek basketball as well”.
