Vassilis Spanoulis stressed that it is difficult for him to return as an opponent of Olympiacos at the SEF, described the match with the “reds” as the final, he thinks his players showed his character and played hard defense against one of his best teams, To fight with a mind, otherwise they have no place in the team with him on the bench, praised James’ appearance and commented on the national draw in the Eurobasket finals.
In detail what he said:
“It’s always difficult to play here. I have a million reasons to be
even more difficult for me. I spent 11 years here, my half career and spent magical moments. But I am a coach of Monaco and for 40 ‘we were opponents. The game was very difficult, Olympiacos is a very good team, one of the best in the Euroleague, playing very good basketball, for us it was a do or die match. You see what’s going on in the Euroleague, you can find a seventh or eighth with a defeat. It doesn’t matter, however, but that, even when we were at -10, we played good basketball, so I’m very happy about the way we played. Congratulations to Olympiacos, I wish him good luck. ”
For the two wins in OAKA and SEF: “They are difficult victories against full stadiums. However, we should not “fly into the clouds”, nor be disappointed when we lost four games in the point. We have to continue to work to show the person I want and who we want. ”
For the defense of his team he said: “Dialo is one of Europe’s best if not, if not, but not an individual job. The defense is a teamwork, we were very focused and in a few stages we lost our concentration. With exceptions, we played excellent defense and stopped the flow of Olympiacos. “
To convert James to a creator: “It was excellent today, all the credits are worth the kids. It’s not easy to change a way of playing, I’m trying to make their best. ”
For the draw of the National Team to Eurobasket: “Every draw is good. It all depends on us, the point is to be good. Anyone who looks at draws and intersections fails. The point is to continue the work we started last summer, to be confident, to see who we have available and how to “build” the team to get a medal. “
