Two days after the first match, Mars hosts this time the Panathinaikos AKTOR at “Alexandrio” (4:45 p.m., ERT3, sport-fm.gr, News Bulletin 247) for the second game of the series between them.
The “greens” managed to prevail 89-71 with great comfort in the OAKA match, which was for them also a fiesta for the seventh “star”, with the corresponding banner to go up to the roof of the stadium in a festive atmosphere from the 18 thousand who gave their “attendance”. His team Ergin Ataman now wishes to do the “double” in Thessaloniki and qualify for the finals with Olympicwithout getting into… adventures or spending extra energy.
On the other hand, the Thessaloniki team did not manage to look competitive at all in the first game. Beyond a few minutes in the third quarter, when the inactivity of the “greens” allowed the Mars to reduce, the whole of it Yannis Kastritis did not make it difficult for Panathinaikos AKTOR, unlike the previous games between them. Now, the “yellows” aspire to level the series and put pressure on the “clover”, otherwise they will end their (successful) season this year.
As far as racing is concerned, for him Panathinaikos doubtful is the Juancho Hernangomet, who played little in the first match due to calf problems. If the Spaniard doesn’t play, it will probably be him 7th foreigner who will be cut from the roster, otherwise Ergin Ataman will have to choose someone else (in the first match Vildosa was left out).
From the aspect of Mars, the problems are about them Ronnie Harrell (bone swelling) and Ishmael Sanogo (pull on biceps). The first will be absent, while the participation of the second will be decided at the last moment.
The refereeing team for the match will be: Pitsilkas-Agrafiotis-Melapidis.
