Olympiacos presented his good racing face and celebrated the imposing victory 84-72 against Real Madrid in the “hot” chef, taking the first step towards qualifying for Abu Dhabi’s Final Four!
During the press conference after the end of the race, the coach of the “reds”, George Bardzokastalked among other things about his award MVP that the Nanstressing that he deserved it, but adding that he would choose the Sasha Vezenkov For more valuable to normal!
In addition, he stood in the very good appearance of his team, stressing that he was good for Olympiacos who was found to play with an opponent of the Real level, as he plays better when facing bigger challenges.
In detail what the Olympic coach said:
“I will use a cliché phrase that it’s just 1-0. The playoffs are a battle, you have to be perfectly focused and always be there in the game. It was a serious appearance from us in defense and attack, it was a typical playoffs with a lot of power and energy from the world. Congratulations to the players and the world, let’s get ready for the next match.
It was important that we had a double -digit difference during the match. In a way you can never be sure of Real, we saw what Yul’s baskets put. It is their roster and experience. We didn’t let Real come close to the score, we led them to 19 errors and did not allow them to reach a single -digit difference.
Our team is humble. Our team receives nothing for granted. Nan won the prize and probably deserved it. If you ask me, I would prefer Sasha to take it. Sasha came from the NBA and wants to do the best for the team and win titles.
It is not a gift for me neither the victory nor that we had all the players. It is a gift that I am to Olympiacos. Not all players in the same level are, we have to find a common component and find ourselves in the same level. I hope on Friday we are just as fresh. When Real came out as our opponent, I said that I think it is better to play with a big opponent. This is the challenge. It is good that no one is resting.
If the issue in shots concerns me more than it should be, then there will be a problem for the team. I have lived this again. However, players train in the shots. It is indicative of the pressure I think the issue of failure ».
On what Greek basketball should do to make the most of the good presence of the Greek teams: “A shame that PAOK lost. What we need to do is do everybody’s job and not try to do the job else? Everyone has to do what is responsible and, most likely, is capable. And I’m talking about administrations of teams, federations, ESAKE, everything. ”
It is not only that Panathinaikos took the Euroleague, that we went to three Final Four, that AEK went to the Final Four, that PAOK went to the final. The interest in basketball is so great that we are experiencing that we cannot go out. The popularity of the sport has reached such an extent.
Does it play a role that two Greek is the best in Europe? He plays. It’s a good timing for the Euroleague. This means that we all do our job well. We should not make suggestions to each other. I’m not talking about you journalists because it’s your job. My view is that ».
