Bardzokas: “It plays no role if the Final Four takes place on the Panathinaikos stadium, it’s very distant”

Returning to victories and good appearances in the Euroleague was celebrated on Friday night (10/10). Olympicwho despite his many and important absences, did not “chew” and crushed with Score 86-67 Dubai BC in the SEF!

In the established statements of the press conference, the coach of the “reds”, George Bardzokasstood at the “keys” points that judged the match tonight, adapting Nilinina to the Piraeus roster, but also in the many raised program games.

Finally, he was also asked to comment on the fact that this year’s Final Four will take place in Athens and the “Telekom Center Athens”, stressing that it is too early to discuss this.

In detail what he said:



“We are ready to do hard work, to improve. Today’s victory was very important. It’s a very talented group offensive. Our defensive approach to three of the four minutes was very good. We have lost some important players from our roster. Good luck to Dubai BC. A very big thank you to our fans. ”



For Nilinina: “It goes without saying that it should take time. In essence it had no preseason. It is still in preparation period. He is a level player who will help us a lot. ”



For the many games: “As soon as we won a game comfortably, it means that those who were called to defend the district did a good job. Basketball leaves the coaches. Our effect on the game is becoming less and less. We will play too many games. I don’t think any Euroleague coach is satisfied with this. If you want to see better basketball there must be more preparation. There is no structure in how a team is preparing. When will you do a workout? You show a video and hope that the players will respond. “

For the fact that the Final Four is done at OAKA: “When we got the European in football I would go wherever we were playing. For me he didn’t play a role that we played on the AEK stadium. It also plays no role if we play on the Panathinaikos stadium. It’s too far away. The team needs to pass through stones to get there. At the moment to make supernatural statements that we want to go and take it to the opponent’s headquarters is completely far from our own psyche. We will look to become better. If this leads us to yet another Final Four we will see what the situation will be. Olympiacos will always have pressure. I’m used to. I have managed this thing up and down. “

For the shots: “The difference is one would say that there are tall ones who shoot with a good percentage. At a career percentage everyone else had good. Each player has a routine, he shoots a lot. Coach cannot deal with this Thema”.

For the many points that the games go: “Since European basketball with the American is equated, you will not see great defense efforts at the beginning of the year. Either because the teams do not work well defensively, or that they know they have a lot of games and will create extra fatigue. The big games do not think they will go to such a high score. “
