As in the match with Villeurbanne, so against Unix Kazan Panathinaikos did not take advantage of the factor … OAKA and was defeated 74-72.
The “greens” were not convinced throughout the match that they can get the pink card, while once again the failure cost them dearly, mainly from the periphery.
The coach of the podium records on www.sportfm.gr what they judged the match…
“Wound” again the shots outside the 6.75m: The defeat of Panathinaikos by Unix Kazan was the third consecutive and second series in OAKA. The common denominator of all three matches were the three-pointers, where the percentage of “clover” was less than 30%. That is, against the Russians, the players of Prifti had 7/28 (25%), with the Red Star in Belgrade they shot 3/22 (13.6%) and in the defeat by Villeurbanne they had 5/19 (26.3%) .
The advantage in rebounds is almost untapped: With the presence of the amazing Papagiannis, Panathinaikos had a clear superiority in the racket. The Greek center got 17 rebounds alone, while the “clover” had a total of 14 forwards, against only 8 of Unix. However, the only 16 points from second chances that the “greens” got is a relatively small harvest.
The mediocre night of the leaders: The last shot is like the. Prayer. He enters and you become a hero or he does not enter and the lights (in the negative sense) go on you. Usually, though, it is a shot in very difficult conditions. Papapetrou was the one who got it for the “clover”, but he did not find a target and so the defeat was fatal. However, the leader of the “greens” was generally in a bad night, as the 4/15 shots, of which 2/11 three-pointers, are not a representative performance of his quality. At the same time, the “greens” could not rely on the well-closed Meikon, who from the good defense of the Russians did not take the ball easily, while Panathinaikos did not get anything from Nemanja Nedovic, who played for just 3:31 ”, coming from an injury.
