He had his coach out, Sotiri Manolopoulos, had Moraitis out, lost McCree during the match, but Peristeri finally reached a comfortable victory against Apollon in the closed “Andreas Papandreou” with 78-68 and for the first time has a positive factor in the championship (4-3).
First scorer was Petaway with 13p. and he was followed by Moreira with 12 points, however the Chad Brown with 9p. and 10p., giving many duels on both sides of the floor.
On the other hand for Apollo who fell to 3-4, the Thomas he seemed to be fighting alone with 25p. (5 / 10tr., 8r.), While Tsalbouris (15p.) And Diplaros (10p.) Were in double digits.
The match
With the gas pressed, Peristeri entered the closed “Andreas Papandreou”, as with polyphony in the attack and mainly dedication to the defense, the team of Kostas Papamarkou took control of the game (14-5), reaching the difference early in double digits with Chrysikopoulos’ two-pointer (17-5). Moreira also entered the equation and did what he wanted in the painting, reaching the difference of 16 (23-7), with the period closing at 26-13.
The pattern in the first minutes of the second period did not change, with Miller restoring the difference to +16 (29-13) and therefore Nikos Vetoulas was looking for a way to bring his team back to claim the game. Tomas and Diplaros were the first to signal the counterattack by lowering the difference to single digits (33-25), but Chrysikopoulos and Saloustros gave “three-pointers” breath to the hosts (44-33), with the halftime ending at 46-33.
Peristeri had the opportunity to “finish” the game well (48-33) from the first minutes, but Thomas of Apollon had taken it personally, as with his own 8-0 he kept alive the interest in the match (48 -41), but he was alone. On the contrary, the Peristeriotes had many solutions offensively, such as Petaway (55-41) with the ten minutes ending at 65-54 and the hosts having a lead of more than 10 points.
At the beginning of the fourth period, Apollon with (who else…) Thomas in the leading role reduced to six points (65-59) putting great stress on the players of Peristeri, who again had the right reaction to the last counterattack of the Achaeans. Miller and Saloustros with two three-pointers scored 73-61, while the gratuitous shot came from the basket and foul of Chad Brown (76-65), with Peristeri reaching the pink card (78-68) with concise procedures.
