Olympiacos defeated Lavrio 93-75, starting their course in the Stoiximan GBL on a positive note!
THE George Bartzokas in his statements at the press conference he said that his team was pushed to get this victory and stressed that they should not underestimate any opponent.
“First of all, I wish all the teams health, calm and achievement of all goals. Specifically for Lavrio, where we started the year, I want to say a big “well done” to them, they played very well for three quarters and due to wear and tear and the opening in the rotation, in the end they surrendered. For us it is obviously a game that showed the problems we have at this time. Lack of cohesion, poor form of players, relaxed approach to the match.
Especially in the first half, we counted 9 missed layups under the basket. A lot of missed shots by players who shoot 90% in their career and of course a lot of bad defensive cooperation that allowed Lavrio to score 45 points in the first half – if I’m not mistaken – . We had to push ourselves to win in the end. So we are in a process that all teams go through, to become solid, to gain cohesion, not to leave any phase and of course not to underestimate anyone”.
