The Dove fought and showed a competitive face against the quality Murthybut was finally defeated 81-76 at the indoor “Andreas Papandreou”, remaining without a win after the end of two games in this year’s BCL.
After the end of the game, the coach of the home team, George Limniatisinsisted that his team must continue to work hard and have will, so that they can reach the level they want, staying true to their plan.
What the Peristeri coach said in detail:
“We were definitely improved. Congratulations to Murcia for the win and to my players because they gave a great performance against a team that, like us last year, was in the Final 4, but kept its core and has the same coach.
Murcia had better rebound positions, we wanted to improve there. The critical moment was when we scored three-pointers, but we also received three-pointers from players we didn’t expect. Sorry to say it, but Murcia is not known for being a shooting team and today they did so with 43% on 3-pointers.
We have to find the performance we had in the friendlies, I believe if we continue to work hard and play with the same energy and the same will, we will get where we want to go.
Our best days were in friendlies and today. Everyone knows that Peristeri has changed significantly this year, we have new players in the team and in age and they have to stay focused on our plan and if we fight every day we will have the image we want and deserve”.
