Ataman: “We lost the title, but remember what happened last year – He had to count Lesor’s basket”

With Vezenkov taking his hand Olympic scoring 10 points in the last 4′, the “red and white” won the big derby over Panathinaikos (85-86) and won the Super Cup again.

After the match, Mr Ergin Ataman he emphasized that in general, good basketball was not played in the final, while he pointed out that his team made many mistakes, especially offensively, making special reference to the “four” of the team as they did not help (Mitoglou, Hernangomet).

At the same time, he did not fail to refer to arbitrationspeaking of “many mistakes by the referees”while specifically referring to a phase of Matias Lessor in the third quarter, considering that Wright’s “cut” was illegal and the basket should count.

Finally, he reminded the friends of the “greens” what happened last year, when the team again lost the Super Cup but at the end of the season she was champion Greece and Europe.

In detail what he said:

“The game was intense, but the basketball was not good. We didn’t play well, we played with passion, we lost by one game. Lessor’s basket that they didn’t give had to count and then the technique brought the match to 4 points. Vezenkov was excellent, our back four today was not good. With the exception of Papapetrou, they were not good offensively.

It was a close game. We lost the title, but remember what happened last year. Get ready for the Euroleague and the finals. But I remember that this happened last year as well. I don’t care. We tried to win, we made a lot of mistakes, the referees made a lot of mistakes. The foul on Lessor and the basket that he did not count, gave a difference of four points. Congratulations to Olympiakos for the victory and the title.”
