It’s no secret that Mr Kostas Sloukas is one of the players that every team would like to have on the court in final straight a match. The experienced guard has made several big shots in his career, while his safe hands are a plus warranty for right decisions when every possession counts.
This is true even this year, when the 34-year-old, after the arrival of Lorenzo Brown, takes more breaths than Ergin Ataman and does not have the same impressive numbers as in previous seasons. Despite this fact, the Turkish coach calls on him when things get tough in the final stretch of the race, and Sloukas vindicates him, having signed the team’s two biggest victories in Euroleague.
Indeed, the “doubles” of the “greens” in City against Fenerbahce and Belgrade vs Red Starthey had wide – wide signature of the leader of the “trefoil”, with big shots in both matches. Even more impressive, however, than the shots made by Sloukasare his numbers in the so-called “crunch time”.

In these marginal situations, Slukas, who is not particularly high on his list of scorers Panathinaikou generally, it takes off, as it has succeeded overall 15 points!
In fact, the impressive thing is that at the same time he has given in these intervals 6 assistsmaking just 1 mistake, which shows how correct his decisions are. Overall, through scoring and creatinghas participated in 32 points of his team, a performance that is by a large margin the top of the team, but also first in the whole Euroleague!
Finally, something else is worth noting. In “crunch time”, o Sloukas He hasn’t missed a shot yet! Indeed, the 15 points to have come from 1/1 two-pointers, 3/3 three-pointers and 4/4 shots. An example of the incredible composure of a player who has “eaten” such matches with the… spoon, so he knows when to pass, when to shoot and has the necessary winning mentality.
