Vezhenkov: “We want consistency and continuity – We had to finish the game early and we did”

THE Olympic played his best basketball since the start of the season and dismantled Aris 102-72, showing a much improved image.

After the match, Sasha Vezenkovwho scored 22 points, talked about the work that his team still has to do in order to find the right cohesion, but also about the difficult next match with Armani Milan in Euroleague.

In detail what he said:

For the victory over Mars: “It was a game we knew because of the load in front of us, we played on Friday, we play on Tuesday, again on Friday, we had to finish it early. Aris has shown a lot of toughness, a very competitive person, he also plays in Europe. So we wanted to start well, because we hadn’t played well against Zalgiris, or Lavrio, or Fener. I think we did a very good job and we continue with Armani”.

For what else the team needs: “We want consistency, we want continuity. We have to work, we have many games ahead of us. So step by step, game by game, we’re going to beat Armani.”

For the good team stuff: “Offensively we have a lot of talent, we have players who can put up 20 points at any time. The issue is toughness. At least we didn’t show this in the previous games, the offensive rebounds, just like today we had some small issues. We have to work on these pieces, more spiritually, it’s a matter of mood, and from there we will find all the solutions”.

For the next opponent, Armani: “Milan is a very experienced team. Very good players, very good coach. We have to focus on ourselves, play our basketball and win this game.”
