Olympiacos got a great victory over them in the previous match Monaco away, with a score of 89-80 against his team Vasilis Spanoulis.
On their way to victory, the “red and white” found a very important three-pointer from Nigel Williams-Gossassisted by Shaquille McKissickwhich made it 74-78 with about 5 minutes left.
In fact, “Shaq Attack” spoke on her official channel Euroleague about this partnership that led to the basket and analyzed the phase and how it ended up three point.
In detail what he said about the phase:
“James was quite far away so I knew I was going to wait for the screen to see how he would react, to see if I could pass him on the run but I couldn’t. Then, I dribbled behind the back and it kind of slipped or I slipped and then I attacked and was approached by Nigel’s player. P
I went aggressive because I had to stop the drive which is something you have to live with but it’s in the right spot and it gave him an unmarked 3-pointer. It’s a split-second decision to give it to the shooter and make the three-pointer. Me and Nigel were on the floor in the 2nd and 4th periods, we often finish the matches so we can read each other like no one else.
This is the second unit. We feel comfortable with each other, we know how to play with each other. He knows what I’m going to do and I know what he’s going to do, so communication is in the eyes and body language. Everything worked very well.”
