In a match with the same pattern as the one with Efes, o Olympic lost his own game in Germany, knowing the defeat by a score 84-80 by Bayern Munich.

Speaking at the press conference, the coach of the “red and whites”, George Bartzokasemphasized that the bad defense in the second half was the main reason that led the Piraeus to defeat, while he stated that the team lacked a clear mind and patience in their game.

Giorgos Bartzokas’ statements in detail:



About the game: “It was a difficult game as we expected, Bayern have improved a lot. He showed it with Real and today coming back from -12, he forced us to lose our minds. At our level we have to limit mistakes, be patient, collect rebounds and play as a team. It was the opposite, we were thinking of getting some shots to finish the game, that’s why Bayern came back and had Napier’s big shots. We conceded 51 points in the second half and that’s the main reason for our loss.”

On the atmosphere at Bayern’s new stadium: “Fantastic, the pitch is amazing. All in a sporting context, I have nothing to complain about. Amazing atmosphere.”

For Edwards: “First of all he is more mature in European basketball, he has the ability to score, we know that from the Celtics. He has talent and the whole team helps him in this direction. “Bayern play at an up tempo, with two tall players who play face-to-face and it’s a condition for him to show his talent.”
