Panathinaikos celebrated the 104-89 victory over Efes in the crowded OAKA, again with Central Nan for a great protagonist!
After the end of the match and during the press conference, the Ergkin Ataman He stood at the right character his team showed and described the victory in the battle for the advantage of the Euroleague playoffs, and then referred to the possibility of a player.
In detail what the Panathinaikos coach said:
“It was a very difficult game, because Efes has good strikers. At the beginning we made many mistakes in defense. In the first part they had 15 assists. In the second we changed our defense, we tried not to be aggressive on the hedge-out.
Sloukas did a great job in the organization with nine assists. We had control of the race. Nan had no rhythm in the first quarter, but he is an amazing aggressive and when he began to put confidence. Osman also put his free shots after extra pass. We put in the face against Efes and won a very important race.
This is the final line in the normal season, all matches will be so, regardless of the opponent. All games are very important. We have to get two away wins for the four. The character of the team is very good, especially at home. Outside we have to play much better. We will continue, all the races are like that.
I do not know about addition, we check out Jurcheven’s situation daily with doctors. It can enter the end of the month after 2-3 weeks. We will see, I am not sure if we will get another player, because when Jurcheven returns we will have many. If the market has a very good player who will help us, we may get it. If it is still one, no, it will not be realistic. We’ll see. We will see, depending on the state of Jurcheven.
Anyone who shows his quality in the time he fights will take minutes. Everyone has time, if they use it properly, if they show their potential, they will get more. I can’t lose a match to play someone. I play in every match to win. Osman has adapted to the system and now shows his potential. There was no doubt about them. In every match it is improved, it is an important player for us ».
