Panathinaikos didn’t give Villerban any rights, destroyed it with a score of 92-68 in OAKA and got a second consecutive pink card in the Euroleague, continuing its good streak.
Among the protagonists of this victory was Omer Yurtsevenwho scored 10 points, 2 rebounds and 2 blocks in 19 minutes of participation, giving precious breaths to Matias Lessorwhich the Frenchman… couldn’t even imagine last season.
It was the second consecutive good match for the Turkish center, who is constantly finding his rhythm, proving that he has a lot to offer to the “green” front line. After the match, the former NBAer spoke to Alexandros Tsirigotis and sport-fm.gr for the elements of the victory over the French, his own improved presence, but also the upcoming difficult match in Belgrade with Red Star.
In detail what he said:
-Congratulations on the win. In the previous double week you had two tough losses, but after this you count three consecutive wins. What made you bounce back after those losses and now have a really good streak?
“We mostly had time to play together and find chemistry.”
-Such games against teams that are low in the standings always have risks, but you managed to clean up the match from the first period. It was an easy win, how did you manage?
“It’s about respecting the opponent, going out and playing hard and doing your job 100 percent. That’s what we did.”
-Next match against a good team like Red Star who had a very good start but now have worse form. How do you feel about this game?
“We will play in a full stadium with a lot of tension and it will be nice. It will help our psychology, we played at the home of Fener, which is one of the noisiest in Europe, then we played at the home of Olympiakos, which was also very noisy because of the rivalry.”
-I think Red Star is the noisiest headquarters.
“Yes, exactly. But we are going step by step, we will prepare and time will help us. It all adds up and helps us”.
-Last question, is it your first season back in the Euroleague. Do you feel like you’re finding your rhythm?
“Yes, day by day. It’s all about timing to find your rhythm with top players like Lorenzo, Nunn, Grant. They are great attacking players, it’s about finding a rhythm, seeing what they like and how I can work better in their space.”
