Limniatis: “For 30′ we had no concentration and no energy”

Giorgos Limniatis emphasized that the Peristeri players deserve congratulations for the upset against Lavrio, he mentioned the respect he has for the East Attica team, he praised them competitively, considering his ranking position fictitious, he spoke about the injuries of Harris and Avdala and analyzed the way they fought to reach the upset from -14.

In detail: “I want, first of all, to give many congratulations to our players. Because the way we won today’s game, when for 30 minutes we were not on the field in terms of concentration and energy, is very important and, once again, shows the character of our team. It is a very important victory, first of all, because the victory of the previous matchday against Amarousiou, against a team that has our absolute respect, takes on value.”

And he continued: “For Lavrio I think that 0-4 is not a representative image for this team. He has played excellently with both Olympiakos and Prometheus and for a half in the game with Kolossos. And today for 35′ he clearly dominated the field. It is a team that has direction and this is due to its coach, who for me is an excellent coach and person.

And thirdly it is a great victory because yesterday we had the unexpected in training of the injury of Harris, who is a very important player for us. We have been without Vassilis Xanthopoulos for some time now after his injury in the Super Cup semi-final.

We had Avdala’s injury in the match against Maroussi. Poulianitis felt discomfort and, for me, the way we reacted, losing a very great player and with all these problems, is very great and I am very proud. We are all proud of our team and the way we fought and battled in the last quarter.”

And he concluded: “I want to wish good luck to Lavrio and let’s continue to work in the right way, but we want because there were parts of the game that, while we knew that Lavrio has a counter in all pick and rolls, giving a corridor, the weak hand, as we say in basketball terminology, we had worked all the previous week on how to react to this part and for 30′, unfortunately, we did not have the required concentration to be able to ‘break’ this part of the defense.

But in the last 10 minutes we really concentrated.

We went to what we had worked on and I think the fact that we had 31 points in the last period through traffic, we had 22 assists, but through traffic, getting out on second plays, we found a way to get some easy layups and some easy shots. who gave us the confidence to achieve this great victory”.
