The Ace of Olympiacos talked about the award he made, in statements he made on the Euroleague channel, while making a special mention in his awesome appearance against Bayern Munich, in which he made a career record with 45 points!
In detail what he said:
“First of all I am very happy because we won 5 of the 6 games. The most important thing in the Euroleague is to win and then the individual awards come. I want to dedicate this award to my team, because without them it wouldn’t have happened. It means nothing because our main goal is to conquer the Euroleague, but it is something that makes me happy. Most importantly, we won five games, difficult trips, difficult games. We continue our way to playoffs and then be ready when needed ».
For the 45 points he put against Bayern: “I felt good, my teammates passed the ball to the right places and I think in the end I had 2-3 consecutive three-pointers, then I saw the table and said 36, 39, 42 and then the whole stadium was so excited. It’s a night I will always remember, though I didn’t make the record, but in the end we are happy to look, because it gave us the impetus to go to Spain and make it 2/2 “.
For games with bascia and Real in Spain: “I think we played 35 amazing minutes, Fournier is on a big night. For me the biggest win of the month was with Zalgiris, because we played awful in the first half, we lost 10 points and played a great second, for me the best defensive. There we made the start for 5/6. We knew that Basconia lost some games in the end. Very good team. After the game we played, they lost to Madrid with a three -pointer, but lost their shots. Very talented team, they had some absences as well, we fought a lot in the fourth quarter to get the win ».
For the ways in which he tries to improve his game: “I work with dribbles, without dribbles. Most importantly, understanding the game, moving to the positions where his teammates will find you, it is my chemistry with the point guard, with the tall, with all the players in the team. They know how I move and try to find me there. It’s the study of the game, it’s the instinct, it’s work, it’s all together ».
