Both Papanikolaou and Thanassis were good. We had to have a little more patience in the attack and find more points in the open court. I have twelve players and I can use different shapes. All players must be ready, the tournament is big and they will all need. I don’t care if one will score zero points or 40, the point is to contribute to the team ».
