THE Nikola Milutinov emphasized the need o Olympic to appear better than the games of the previous week in order to “build” on the break he made and get the qualification against Barcelona.
“In the first game we fought more, in the second maybe we didn’t fight as much, I don’t know if we were tired. In front of our home crowd, the stadium will be full and we will have to play even better to get the win“, he emphasized.
“We are always hungry, from the first game of the season. We were the underdogs in this pairing, but we want to make the whole Olympiacos organization and the team world proud“, the Serbian center added.
About the rebounding problem his team had in Game 2, he said:Barcelona have many good players. In the second game we missed a lot of rebounds and it’s a shame because we have good rebounders. It will be a big key for us to win».
Finally, regarding his own situation as he recently returned from injury, he emphasized: “In the playoffs it’s about the team, not me. Although I struggled a bit or I might struggle a bit again, the point is to win tomorrow’s game. I have to be ready, whenever the coach asks me, whether it’s from the first minute or the last».
