Unread Olympian, punished by Red Star Small and his mistakes

Unread Olympiche stayed … a metaphorical to the SEF, knowing his second defeat this year’s Red Star!

Although, he had – theoretically – the upper hand because of the “5th” lack of “Serbs”, his team George Bardzoka could not exploit her tall, trapped in small ball balls and fast shapes of the guests, Losing with a score of 81-73 And while Yiannis Spheropoulos’ team had reached +17 at the end of the second period.

In a festive atmosphere on the Faliro stadium with fans of both teams, Piraeus essentially saw the series of their six consecutive victories take over the many mistakes (14 for 21 assists), but also the bad image they showed in the defensive part.

For the hosts who stayed at the top (22-8) and will hardly lose it – as well as the first 4 and the home advantage – the Vezenkov (19p, 9p) and MacKisik (14p, 7p, 5th.), On one night where Fournier stayed in … shallow with just 7 points and 2/8 shots.

The match:

Quite sluggish was the start of Olympic In the game, who, although he tried to exploit his superiority in the “5” position, failed. On the contrary, some errors, but also relaxation in defense, allowed the Red star to easily find baskets with Davidovacs and Makindyre to precede with 9-2 in the three-minute. The time -out of the furious George Bardzokas did not change the image of the race, with the “reds” short -circuit aggressively and making a bad appearance on the back of the parquet. As such, an impressive 8-0 hand-handed Macindire series, launched the difference at +15 and 17-2 one minute later. Nearly three minutes after his unique basket, the hosts reduced Lee and Milutinov’s shots (6-17), at a time when they were constantly making mistakes, closing the quarter with 6 errors for just one assist. Gentitis ‘three-pointer at 8’ wrote 20-6 to come the buzzer beater from Fournier and to form 8-20 of the period.
