OR Efes He presented a good racing image for 36 minutes at the OAKA, but eventually submitted to the superiority of Panathinaikos and the terrible Nan, knowing the defeat by 104-89.
After the end of the race, the coach of the guests, Luca Bancihe described his team’s defeat difficult, stressing that you can’t make so much mistakes at a headquarters like the “green”.
In detail what Efes coach said:
“Difficult match, difficult defeat. We approached it with the right energy. I liked the aggression of the team, we were compact, we paid our many mistakes. Sometimes we made big mistakes that allowed Panathinaikos to return with easy baskets. We cannot offer them to such a talented team. A terrible second half by Nan, we didn’t respond properly. But as a team up to 5 minutes before the end we could equalize, play at our pace, we had discipline aggressively.
We reduced the mistakes and this helped with the shots we made to stay in the match despite the impressive percentages they had, especially in three -pointers, and all ISOs. You have to reduce mistakes because in such an environment all possessions count. In the end they had better energy and decisions. A few minutes before the end we answered the champions with the personality I wait for every night from my team ».
