The Final 4 of the Elite League Errikos Dunan concludes today with a great game between two very historic teams with a large grassroots base. THE Panionios confronts him Hercules at 16:00 (Action 24) at the Ano Liosion Olympic Center in a “final” with promotion to the Basket League as a prize. He has already won a place in the big category Milonwhile there is also a scenario circulating about the participation and the loser of today’s match in the big division, in order to not have 13 but 14 teams in the new season and not to lose a strong brand name, such as Panionios or Heraklis.
The Neosmyrniotes were defeated by Milos 87-79 on Friday in the final to win the championship, but as the top ranked team in the regular season of the league they have a second chance to return to the Basket League after four years. “We know what we have to do. We have to play hard, play defense. We have to “clear” our minds, forget the first game and concentrate on what is coming. We have to go out on the floor and do our job. It all depends on us. It’s another game for us that we have to win and that will happen if we apply on the pitch everything we know and have done throughout the yearDeJon Davis said.
Thessaloniki beat Ermis Schimatarios 80-73 on Friday and are now looking to go 2/2 in the Final 4 to return to the Basket League two years after being relegated. “There wasn’t a game we went to without the stress or pressure of the result. In the 30 games of the regular season of the championship, the four of the playoffs and the two now in the Final 4, there was and still is the “must” of victory. However, we have it and “carry” it. But we never complained. The extra motivation and pressure of the “burden” of achieving a goal, I believe, can make you better. Panionios has a lot of quality and experience, it will definitely be a game that will be decided in the details“, emphasized Nikos Paparegas.
The referees of the match will be Papapetrou, Karpanos and Tsimouris (Koulouris will be the commissioner).
