Olympiacos defeated AEK Betsson more difficult than the final 96-77 indicates at the ‘Sunel Arena’ and improved to 4-1 in the Stoiximan GBL, now turning their attention to the derby with Panathinaikos for the Euroleague (08/11, 21:15).
After the match, George Bartzokas he emphasized the great value of the victory, especially in a venue that is never friendly to the “red and whites”, as noted by the Greek coach. At the same time, he emphasized that in many moments he liked the way his players play aggressivelybut the fluctuations in team performance need to be reduced.
In detail what he said:
“The goal is always to win, so when you leave this difficult seat, where we always have a difficult time, mainly because of the pressure that people put on. We are obviously not the friendliest club for AEK fans.
We have to play seriously without fluctuations in our intensity and with discipline in our attacking game. We scored close to 100 points, despite having a gap. It is a victory that we greatly appreciate. It’s not just the two degrees. AEK is one of the tough opponents in the league, especially at home.
I don’t forget, of course, that in those days we played against Panathinaikos, Real and Barcelona. It is not only a matter of physical strength, it is also a matter of mental readiness.
Offensively, hours upon hours, when our players don’t play selfishly, which rarely happens, I like our basketball very much. He started the game and Fal had 5 assists in five minutes. Everyone wants to pass, everyone has to move away from the ball and beyond, because they have the talent, to execute.
There is no doubt that Alec can easily play in the “3”. Defensively we have to change some things when Peters and Vezenkov are in the game together, but that’s our job. They proved they can play together. Alec quickly picked up two fouls in the game. I thought, after all, they played together 12-13 minutes today or 15′, somewhere there».
