Bartzokas: “We walked in the first half – For reasons of principle I cut Wright”

THE George Bartzokas expressed complaints about his image Olympiakou in its first half match with AEK (92-75) for the playoffswhile explaining the decision to cut him Moses Wright from the available roster for the playoffs.

“I wanted a competitive game, nobody came to play unmotivated against us. Despite their problems, AEK came to play with quality and a very good coach. Obviously they didn’t come to be a laughing stock, that’s why in the first half she was very good. We are in the playoffs, in a series that is judged on two wins and we cannot walk like in the first half and be forced to press. No one can be satisfied in the first half. We had to push ourselves in the second half to win“, he initially reported.

Regarding the decision to “cut” Wright from the group of foreigners he said:There are very difficult decisions, but we are well paid to make them. For me it was the most difficult decision I have made in my second term, because I hold Wright in high esteem and he changed our image. I decided for principle reasons to go with the players who started the year. We’re counting Wright right for the Final 4. Whoever I cut would be right, whoever I cut would be wrong. I love Moses as a player, he has given us a lot and will give us more».
