Panathinaikos AKTOR, led by Olek Balcherovski and excellent Alexandros Samonturov, defeated Aris with a score of 80-68 in “Alexandreio”, before the first round of the championship playoffs with PAOK.
After the match, Ergin Ataman at the press conference, he praised the young player of the “greens” for his appearance, while he referred to the minor injury that Kendrick Nunn suffered, but also to the best five of the Euroleague.
What he said in detail:
For Samodurov: “I am happy about the performance of our young players. Especially for Samonturov, he played close to 30 minutes. They made a very good appearance. Everything he did was right, he showed that he will be a star of Panathenaic and Greek basketball in the future.”
About the game: “There was no scoring interest in the game. We played seriously, we made a big rotation, we rested our key players, we played good basketball at times and we ended up with just one loss in the Greek league, which is a very good course”.
On Nan’s injury: “He had a small injury but he will be ready for the playoffs against PAOK, from Saturday.”
For Euroleague voting: “Congratulations to Nan and Lessor, who were selected in the best five of the Euroleague. I’m surprised that Shane Larkin, my former player, wasn’t even in the second five. Very strange, but kudos to Shane, although he wasn’t in the selection. He’s a player I love. For me he was the MVP of the season. And Slukas was in the second five, and for all I know he’s not happy to be there. I’m sure he’ll get his revenge in the Final Four.”
