For relaxation in the first half spoke George Bartzokas after Olympiacos’ victory over PAOK at SEF 86-68.
«In the first half we were sluggish, we gave 75% to the two points to PAOK, which played well. We allowed an easy score, but in the second half we made a good defensive match. These games are not handling matches for us. There are good teams, good players and coaches and if you are relaxed and sluggish you can pay for it. In these matches the players are more relaxed and want to score more, but the team game is what helps all the players“, Stressed the coach of Olympiacos.
Regarding the situation of Quincy Aisy, he said: “He did two individual trainings, from tomorrow he will join the team. Unconsciously when a new player comes everyone is waiting for him. We have to put him carefully in the team, both for himself and for the team so that he does not spoil its chemistry».
THE Michalis Lountzis he said in turn: “It was a difficult game. We expected that PAOK would be competitive, but we through our defense and with the toughness we showed we reached the victory. In the first half we were not good, especially in the defensive part, but in the second half we got energy. These are not chores for us, we are here because we want to win the championship. We have two difficult matches in the Euroleague and then for the derby with Panathinaikos, which was missing in the championship and we will try to get the victory».
As for his own role, he said: “I feel trusted and I try to help the team when I am used by the coach».
