Having significant absences and players affected by injuries, o Panathinaikos performed badly in Bologna and was beaten by the heavy 92-75 from Virtus.
Speaking to Nova’s camera, Mr What J Shortsreferred to the things that the “greens” did not do well on the floor, making it clear that absences should not be an excuse. At the same time, he also talked about his own adaptation to the team.
In detail what he said:
On what Panathinaikos AKTOR didn’t do: “We can say a lot of things that we didn’t do. We didn’t score, we didn’t get rebounds, we didn’t score. In general, we were not focused from the beginning of the match and they took advantage of that. You can’t do that away from home.”
For the defense of Virtus Bologna: “They came in aggressively. They pushed his pace physically and we never responded. When you play away from home in the Euroleague you can’t start like that. They are a good team, they play well and I showed it.”
On how hard it is to find himself immediately: “I will continue to work. To find my role in the team. He will get more training and matches. The more I play, the more comfortable I feel. I will continue to work.”
For the absences of the “clover” and the injury problems: “It plays a role when key players are missing, but it’s not an excuse. Those who came had to come forward and play and we didn’t. Thus, this result came.”
