The statements of Kostas Sloukas at the media day:
For Ataman’s statement about the people who will turn Uber Arena into OAKA: “We have a 50% chance to win tomorrow’s game and the trophy. Of course we want the support of our people, we say this all year long and we thank them very much. There is a small step left, but it is the most difficult to make a dream come true».
On whether he owes anything because of the missed shot in last year’s final: “I never owe anything. If we look at it this way, 10 days before the final I had a big shot and we were in the Final-4. It could very well be the defense that got us there. I want to do my job on the field. As I’ve said sometimes I’ll put it in when I shoot, other times I’ll miss it but the important thing is that the team wins».
For what is the secret to winning the trophy: “There are no secrets, everyone has their own routine and preparation for the game. It’s the little things that will tip the scales to the winner. A rebound, a steal, but above all our defense has to be there, because Real are very dangerous and will cause us a lot of problems».
