Vezenkov: “On paper, we have perspective as a team, but it doesn’t help just to say it, we also have to show it”

Having – again – many ups and downs in his performance, o Olympic risked losing a match of his own to Zalgiris, however, in the end he survived and managed to take the win with score 74-68.

After the end of the match, the MVP, but also pivotal in the finale of the match with 6 points, Sasha Vezenkov, stood at bad performance of the “red and white”mentioning among other things that everyone should work hard so that the people of Piraeus can play the basketball they can based on their talent and quality.

Sasha Vezenkov’s statements in detail:

“We played well in the first period, we shared the ball. We knew that Zalgiris is a competitive team. Beat Barcelona last week. We allowed them to get a lot of offensive rebounds, they had I think 9 at halftime. We didn’t play well offensively in the rest of the match. It was a bad game. We keep the result. On paper we have perspective as a team, but it doesn’t help just to say it, we have to show it too. We have to fight, play better. The positive is that we won the game.

If I remember correctly, I didn’t shoot much in the game, because the opposing defense had prepared their plan, so I had to help my team in other ways. I have to screen, get rebounds, give assists. Everything is more difficult. The important thing is that the team won this match and we continue. We have a game on Sunday, Tuesday and Friday. All teams are competitive. We have to keep playing and improving.”
