Ataman: “At the moment we are only thinking about the semifinals of the league, we have time for Final 4”

Panathinaikos comfortably made 1-0 in a row with Prometheus, with the “Greens” coach, Ergkin Atamanto emphasize at the press conference that his team’s mind is only in the semifinals of the Stoiximan GBL, as there is still time to prepare for Final 4 of the Euroleague.

In detail what Ataman said at the press conference:



“In the first period after 5 ‘game we started late in the match. We improved our hardness and tried to get out of surprise. Defensively our game was certainly not very good, as we received a lot of points. In the second half we improved our defense, closed the racket and in our attack we tried to find points in surprise. It is definitely a clear victory for us. Let us not forget that Prometheus did not have two guards at the disposal and it was difficult for the coach to organize his game. We will try to win on Wednesday to be the first finalist in GBL ».

If it were a game his team wanted to relax after the playoffs: “What we are thinking right now is only the GBL semifinal and then we will have all the time to prepare both physically and spiritually for the Final-4 where we will have a hard game. All we are interested in is to go first to the GBL finals ».

For the opportunities it has given to players who do not have much time and the rest of the basics: “Beyond the rest we give players the opportunity to get time to participate, such as Brown and Papapetrou who did not play with Efes. Today they played pretty well and this is important to improve in the face of Final 4 ».
