Olympiacos-Panathinaikos: Derby of… consolation in the small final

We wanted a Greek final, we will have a small final! Olympiacos and Panathinaikos are confronted with the small Euroleague final (17:00, Novasports Prime, Sport-fm.gr, BWINSPOR FM 94.6), both excluded in semifinals of Final Four.

Indeed, the ‘Greens’ did not manage to put the ‘back’ at any point in the race Fenerbahce And they lost 82-76, with the “dreams” for the eighth “star” to erase his “Etihad Arena” Abu Dhabi. Ergkin Ataman’s team did not present a good racing person and was rightly defeated, which was admitted by both the Turkish technician and the strong man of the club, Dimitris Giannakopoulos, in a statement after the race.

For their part, the “reds” did not confirm his title favorite to the Final Four, but on the contrary … the curse of pioneer of Regular Season. The group of George Bardzoka did not appear at any point in the match competitive against the Monaco By Vassilis Spanoulis, he was defeated 78-68 and was also excluded from the final, with all players outside the moving Bourgeois be inferior to the circumstances.

This is how we will have for the first time in its history Euroleague a derby ‘eternal’ in small final. Obviously, this is a match-in-two-team match, since both were aimed at title and only, so they won’t be happy with the third place. Whatever the case, however, a match between Olympic and Panathinaic to Final Four cannot go unnoticed.

As for the racing news, Panathinaikos saw him Matthias Lesor to return to the match with Fenerbahce, so the only problem he faces is his absence Mary Grigonis. Olympiacos, on the other hand, will not have at his disposal Nigel Williams-Gossuffering from pulling while gathering a lot of chances of debut China Evans. It also remains to be seen if the George Bardzokas It will give time to players who were “cut” by the semifinals (Larentzakis, Mitrou-Long, Dorsey).

The match will be directed by the Carmello Paterniko, Illa Belosevic and Artura Sukis
