Olympiacos also failed to close Maccabi’s “house”. He suffered his first away defeat. Could he win? Yes. But at the crucial moment he lost strength, intensity, energy and the Israelis, playing with their backs to the wall, increased the pace.

Olympiacos were running out of players (see below) and Maccabi found people who could give him something in defense and attack. Instead of popping, they dove to the ground. Instead of swinging, they blocked Fal and Vezenkov. Instead of trembling under pressure, they made Olympiakos suffer.

The national team achieved the excitement of – 11 and if a Greek team had made it we would be right to shout with joy. Well done to Maccabi who fought against it and succeeded. Olympiacos stays good. But he should improve things. Find other solutions.

Vezenkov can’t do Durant every night. Slukas cannot cast magic. And a Larentzakis who has been sensational cannot win alone. The “Red-Whites” had the image of the team that will celebrate in the third quarter. But in the end it collapsed and history was written differently.

Bartzokas and his players have a lot to do, they know that. It remains to be seen what else the team will differentiate in the near future.

Katas risked and won. He put tall in short and short in tall. He blocked Olympiakos’ pick-and-rolls, brought psychology through defence, blocked movement and then got…air in front for that side of the field. They have possession, they have rebounds, they put people on the field and they won.

They also did katas

One could even speak of a balanced half. Classically, Slukas was called down early as Kanan hadn’t done anything significant for another match. And yet the Israelis had a zone that, under normal circumstances, could give gifts to the Americans. But Kanan — let’s not say the same thing — hasn’t adjusted yet, and no one knows when or if he will.

It’s a bit harsh, but November is coming soon… And then he got kicked out. And the logic of the Olympiakos philosophy is “We support the players”. Very reasonable logic. As long as there is a time limit. So we have to see what the future will bring and how they will work in port regarding this issue.

Maccabi was built with great enthusiasm by Mizrahi, who relied on katas. Odette may have been excellent as a player but so far he hasn’t proven he can have a similar career as a coach. Most of the time, his team relies on player inspiration rather than the structure of the system.

Olympiacos controlled the game in the beginning because they are a better team. That doesn’t guarantee you’re going to win for sure, but it’s also a condition I have to point out. Also, I have to point out that Katas played an important role in turning everything around with the risks he took and it paid off.

Black and Fals Munich

The home side didn’t skimp on long-range shots, with Brown and Baldwin doing the most. A problem that Olympiacos found also lay in the tall formations of the national team. With Martin fielding shorter opponents and generally seeing a game where attack is a problem for opposing defense. That was the problem in the 20th minute but in fairness Maccabi can say the same. Let’s add to all this the pressure of the Israelis’ consecutive defeats, which were 100% on their hands.

Olympiacos in general are a top team with a unique problem that they need to get more out of…the sides. Bartzokas doesn’t hesitate to narrow the rotation so early in the season. I would probably do the same to win.

It just adds a little weight and extra time for some players. An extra help and a player that should be fine since he’s not playing in the league is Black.

The trainer always puts him ahead of Boloboi when it comes to taking on Fal. And in Yad Eliau, the Frenchman struggled and in no way showed that he will stay in Munich. With the French blocked, Black and Boloboi had to step up. Finally… missed

Like soccer fans

A good way to create problems for Maccabi is to play on their nerves. The more damage you deal directly, the more specific conditions you create. First of all, they will be stressed. They make fast attacks, lose their composure and give you lots of balls through mistakes or sloppy attempts.

They’ll fumble, they’ll crash their systems, they’ll aggressively foul. You will mess everything up. Second, you benefit from… flood that was on her bench. Third, all of Yad Eliau will be filled with fear.

Maccabi fans are not wise and their reactions are like fans of Greek soccer teams. Olympiacos did so, reaching +10 midway through the third period.

The +6 the team went into the last third with doesn’t do it justice. She was much better, aside from Kanan’s unsportsmanlike behavior which resulted in his being kicked out (you say developing into a new…Harrison? We’ll see…)

Maccabi found “dead” shots, last-minute tries and baskets after rushes. Yes, Olympiacos had a chance but it wasn’t luck. He turned the ball correctly and took points from Papanikolaou and Larentzakis, which worked perfectly.

Giannoulis… Dorsey

Colsnon struggled to take Sluka out of the match. For hours it was as if we saw traces of years gone by in Nikos Galis. Off the ball, the American was chasing the Greek international, so others would have to come forward. Larentzakis did it once, but damn it, Dorsey doesn’t exist this year.

Vezhenkov cannot always rage. And what to say to the child? The difference thinned and Maccabi eventually started getting several little heroes. While the “Red-Whites” lost ground, Maccabi found protagonists. And it radiated energy.

Maccabi put the pressure on and passed. He had a lot of fouls but also a lot of offensive rebounds. And Katas put on a belt in the last few minutes so as not to take any risks of his own. At the end of the game, Olympiacos chose Fal and while Maccabi had scored 20 points, Piraeus had 5!!!

Walkup was imprisoned and while Slukas was on the bench, Larentzakis had to do…Dorsey as the one acquired as the anti-Dorsey still can’t play basketball for the team.

From one point Larry played alone. All alone. But it’s also a sign that the side were left with a player who did (and served him well) far more than the manager asked of him, with no one else by his side.

can she help him Of course…

During this time, such a defeat can also reveal something. Olympiacos was not destroyed. On the other hand. For the first time he was defeated away from home. But with Vezenkov fed up with some top-flight players ‘tied’, Larentzakis getting a sunburn and some continuing to not give much (Peters, Boloboi, McKissick, Black), the squad is assembling dangerously.

In a few hours, the team will greet Alba and have the opportunity and duty to flip the switch. And most importantly, help from other players. That’s exaggerated.
