THE Panathinaikos AKTOR he got a great victory over her Maccabi in Belgrade with a score of 95-88, tying the series at 2-2, which will now be decided in fifth match at OAKA (07/05, 21:15).
After the match, Josh Nimbo he spoke to “BasketNews” about the details that led to the victory of the “greens”, about what his team needs to do to recover, but also about what is being said regarding his acquisition of a Slovenian passport.
In detail what he said:
For the loss against Panathinaikos: “Hard game. Tough game for us tonight. It’s hard to lose in front of your fans, it’s hard to lose at home. Both teams played very hard. It’s very difficult for us emotionally right now that we lost the game. We all expected to win, but we all just have to regroup.
It’s tough right now, but ultimately, these feelings will pass over the next few days and we’ll get back to focusing on Game 5. The streak isn’t over. The team that will qualify wins three games. No one has won three games. Nothing is lost at this time. Obviously, it will be very difficult to win in OAKA, but everything is possible.”
For the appearance of the “greens”: “They were desperate. If they had lost today, their season would have been over. I wouldn’t say they were a better team. We were up by seven points and I’m not sure how many minutes were left. I feel like there were a lot of 50/50 balls that they were able to get. They took advantage of every duel. They hit tough shots, we missed some shots, and that was the difference. In basketball, there is a very fine line between winning and losing. We just lost tonight.”
For the Slovenian national, whose passport he is said to be getting: “I’m not going to talk about it now. We just lost the game. I am focused on this series and trying to do my best here. Anything out of order, let’s not discuss it now.”
