Although Efes put him very difficult, the Panathinaikos had the Huzano In a career night and won 87-83 at the flaming OAKA, taking the first step for Final Four.

After the clash, the Panagiotis Kalaitzakis dropped the Spanish forward, talked about the terrible quality and difficulty of an opponent such as Efeswhile referring to what the Panathinaikos In the next game.

In detail what he said:

For the “thriller” with Efes: “This is how the playoffs will be, we know it will be a very difficult series. Efes can score 30 points in a minute, run up and down, releases the ball well and has great players in one against one. It had a very good momentum with 8 consecutive wins, but we made it 1-0. From tomorrow we will see the video, analyze our mistakes and come here with the aim of 2-0 on Thursday. “

For Huanzo: “Huanzo was everywhere today, in defense, attack, rebounds. We are lucky to have him. Since they did not give the best defender award to the Gradwhich was worth it last year, this year the Erngometh had to take it. It doesn’t matter, all right, we will get the Euro. “

For what Panathinaikos needs to change to make it better: “Today we had a good first quarter, but in the second we were lazy. We have to improve our gaps, obviously in playoffs you can’t be at a focus for 40 minutes and make a perfect match. Especially in front of 20,000 people and in do-or-die finals. If we make some of the defense and attack, I think we will be okay. “
