THE Panathinaikos presented a poor image in Paris, paying for mistakes, rebounding and tepid defense and suffered a fair 84-80 loss to Paris, his first of the year Euroleague.
After the match, Lorenzo Brownwho scored 14 points in 18 minutes of participation, referred to the elements that brought this negative result but also to the great motivation for the next match with Real in two days.
What he said to “Play Makers” in detail:
For the problem of Panathinaikos, even if it was more than one: “It was more than one for sure. We didn’t play well on defense, we didn’t get many 50-50 balls. We didn’t get the rebounds as we should.”
On whether it was the mindset or something else: “It was not a spiritual matter. They are a team that plays a different style of game, they play very fast. They took a lot of shots and got into them. It was something we had to be prepared for, we knew they were going to do it.”
For the match against Real, which is a repeat of last year’s final, even if it is a good opportunity for a comeback: “Always a game against Real hides a much bigger motivation. We will prepare, we have last year’s final in mind and we will do our best to be ready.”
