THE Olympic He saw AEK make a great appearance at the SEF with a terrific Hunter Hale, but managed to win 87-85 and made it 1-0 in the semifinals.
After the clash, the Giannoulis Larentzakiswhich was one of the distinguished “reds”, stressed that in the last phase he tried to foul on the Reitar tacker (his team had to give), but they were not whistled, so the Union guard had the opportunity to equalize.
At the same time, he made his prediction that the Panathinaikos will qualify against Efes.
In detail what he said to ERT:
“We had big ups and downs the truth is. As I said in the halftime it has to do with the issue of concentration and energy. We had to go out some kids we didn’t play in the play-offs against Madrid and drag others with energy to win a team that is well-worked, has a lot of talent and rightly in this position.
We are all getting ready to win the game. And we were ready, we knew it would be a difficult game, we knew AEK would come to win and we were prepared.
In the end the choice was to make a foul, I made him a foul, they were not whistled, we were lucky because he lost it in the end. We won, we have another match, another win for the finals.
All the Greek teams did a great job, and AEK and PAOK. I wish good luck on the Final-Four. It’s a big deal. I have played, I know what it is like to play at AEK’s headquarters and the atmosphere they will create. Good luck to us, to be healthy, to work two weeks and be ready.
We thought we would qualify for Madrid. We knew that Real would react, he has great players with experience, with talent. We waited for the reaction, in the second match we were more spiritually ready.
We have not discussed the semifinals. We look forward to seeing what happens in the games and whoever is. I think Monaco will qualify. I believe Panathinaikos. The seats will not break, so it is the advantage of the seat. “
