Hardness in defense and the best possible person will need Panathinaikos in Monday’s derby with him Olympic for Stoiximan Basket League (19:30) at SEF, according to Okaro White. And for him it may be his first derby of all time, but he seems to know well the importance of the match.
In detail, the American power forward wrote in his blog on the ESAKE website:
Last week we suffered two defeats in the Euroleague, a fact that hurt us, but we can not dwell on them anymore as we are forced to look ahead to the upcoming game with Olympiacos.
It’s a big derby. I have played in the past in Greece and I know the specifics and the importance of this match for both teams and their fans.
You do not have much to say about such matches, all you have to do is go and fight with all your energy, concentration and passion from the beginning to the end. It is a traditional and historic derby and we have to present our best face to succeed.
I believe that the key to the match will be our defense. We will play in a hot atmosphere and we will have to be tough on defense so we don’t let them play their game. It is the first derby of the year and we really want to succeed.
