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 George Bardzokas was not satisfied with the image of his team, and stood at defensive dysfunction that allowed the Hale to find a rhythm.
At the same time, he took responsibility for his image Olympicstressing that his decision to use more players who did not fight against Realput his team in risk to lose the game.
In detail what he said:
“What happens to make a derby match. When we were pronounced with 13 points, we made four consecutive mistakes. While we released the ball well and played methodically, then everyone started doing whatever they want. We were looking to do what is strange. I think we made 5 errors in this time after +13. AEK also put on these shots he put on, and he got four fouls in the three -point. He shot 12 shots and because he is a very good team, he got into the game in the end. Congratulations on the appearance of AEK.
We had to leave the Bakery and Vezenkov out. The players who didn’t play in the games with Real had to play and finally this put us in risk. So they are exclusively my own responsibility.
First of all, Hale He is very capable and has great talent. Secondly, it is obvious that our defense – to say no other expression – was below average in communication, in intensity, in rhythm, in sharpness. If we make a three -point foul four times, if it is a foul, it obviously means that we did something wrong today. And of course when one good player It finds a rhythm, you saw that he put on big shots in the end .. but so is basketball and it’s a good lesson for us.
We will rest tomorrow that we have a day off, then we will have a reintegration workout and then we will have high intensity workouts, because we have a big challenge ahead of us. On the occasion to thank our fans, there was a lot of people for such a match on Sunday afternoon. Thanks for her support and at Madrid And everywhere. ”
Later, at the press conference, he said:
“I don’t have much to say about the game. A big thank you to the fans who came here to see the team and “thank” it for qualifying for the final. Our appearance was not commensurate with the expectations of the world and mine, but I can understand. It was a game that when it went to 13 points we thought it was over and played with naivety afterwards, we made many mistakes, AEK put big shots, good team, congratulations and I wish them good luck in Final 4, they have made a great run. “
On whether it is auxiliary that the team has only one game as Abu Dhabi: “You can never know, we really have another game with AEK alone, but we need a little rest, because the four games with Real had a lot of intensity. You know that we came back 7 on Friday’s early, after the game, and you all imagine that today’s game in the eyes of the players was a game that is just “going to play”. In the interval we will do good workouts from now on and I would like to say a big thank you publicly to the medical team for doing a great job all the time so that our injured can come back and help us go to Final 4. “
