Moses Wright emphasized that the third Euroleague quarter-final between Olympiacos and Barcelona should have gone to extra time, he considers it strange the foul in the last seconds of the extra time that led to Parker’s winning shots, he called the “red and whites” a better team than the “blaugrana” , but the Catalans were tougher, Olympiacos had more energy, but Barcelona’s experience overcame their talent, stood up to the defense they played in some places and expects them to qualify for the Final 4 and make history.
Analytically: “We should have had five more minutes and go into the second overtime. There’s a lot we can say, which affected the game. The final whistle was a bit strange. We can’t let the referees decide the game, we have to finish it ourselves.
What I saw and want to keep for the next match is that we are a better team than Barcelona, ​​we have to play at the same pace for 40′. We showed that we are a better team than them in the 39th minute. Barcelona were a tougher team today. In the next match we have to go out on the court and show that we are better. We may have had more energy, but we also had some gaps. It’s like flipping a coin. The coin will fall on the side of the more experienced. They are more experienced in specific positions. Experience beats talent.
We were kind of on the defensive, myself included in that. I refer to these phases with the spain pick and roll, we should have read these phases better. I can’t say much because I think we should have won this match. It’s the first do-or-die game in my career and it’s very important to win the fourth match to go to the fifth and make history.”
