Bardzokas: “When we play together we are invincible, very talented Panathinaikos team”

THE George Bardzokas gave his mark in view of his “battle” (14/3, 21:15) Olympic with Panathinaic For the 29th Euroleague match for the 29th Euroleague.

“To convince players that when we play together defensively and aggressively we are invincible“, Pointed out the 59 -year -old technician, who commented that”Panathinaikos is in very good shape, anyway a very talented team, proves it and its position in its rating and record”

In terms of Leepointed out ‘He’s smart. He understands which team he has come, he will differentiate his game a bit from what he was playing in Manrea, even in Maccabi, because the way of playing Olympiacos is different, but I tell you he is a very good player”

In detail what he said to Media Day:

For what derby is waiting for: “Every time it’s a different game, so it’s basketball, it depends on how the opponents will be found, how the momentum of the year is, what is motivated, what is health, all of which play an important role. I don’t know what a game to wait to tell the truth, of course I expect a very difficult game, Panathinaikos is in very good shape, anyway a very talented team, it proves its position in its standings and record. It will be a special game as always, let’s not say the trivial. He wants patience, stay in the shot, he does not want heroism, at least in our own team, to play as the shot shows, as we usually play”

If it is easier to prepare because opponents know: “If we mean we will see less videos, yes, because we have played several times, we do not need to do many analyzes. We insist a little on the mistakes we made in the previous game. But the same is true of the opponents, so I don’t know if we take a lead. It is certain that we will have the lead because of our homes, the environment will not be enjoyable for them. It is a game in which we are motivated and we are expecting it with great interest. We want to finish the year with as many wins as possible, get the best possible position and this is a game important for this goal. ”

Whether he wants to see something different from previous derby games with Panathinaikos: “In the championship it was a special situation, in the cup if you remember we controlled the game in the first half, in the third quarter we had gone 7-8 points, then Panathinaikos went ahead, we made a big series in the end and we were 4 points in front, In essence it was a game of a decision. It was a very special game, we had only one guard, Goku, who played a lot and was very tired. Now we have more guards, we don’t have Thomas, of course, but he’s here Luca, it’s also Sepen, so I think we’ll have more operators so that Goku is not loaded so much.”

For the availability of players: “Players who are out make their schedule, those who are in are capable enough to lead us to victories, as it has been proven”

If it is difficult to persuade his players to be alert due to the excellent record in the 2nd round: “Obviously it’s not so difficult because we win. Players understand the importance of these matches, we aim to go well to the Euroleague. The pressure has begun at the beginning of the year, but now it is growing, that we will be in Abu Dhabi, that we will take the Euroleague, they do not find me in agreement, it will be a very difficult process, against very good opponents, where you have to get the right approach to every game, because it has it. On the other hand, you see the atmosphere in the matches here, with Partizan, obviously tomorrow and then with E. Astera, you will see that one cannot underestimate this situation or be relaxed, because he sees the thirst of the world, the support that is very important and this is a motivation for us all for us all.”

For Lee and if he is happy with him: “Too much, because he’s smart. He understands which team he has come, he will differentiate his game a little bit from what he was playing in Manrea, even in Maccabi, because the way of playing Olympiacos is different, but I tell you he is a very good player who will look next, I hope as soon as possible, but also as soon as possible,”

For whether he has any challenge: “I no longer have challenges, only to win. This is what I want, I have nothing to do with something special, the only thing is to convince the players that when we play together defensively and aggressively we are invincible. This is what I believe”

Whether it plays a psychologically role of a series that one team may have against the other: “I don’t know how to answer, if you want my own appreciation, when you come from a defeat you are better than a win. My own team for sure, but I also think most groups are so“
