Olympiacos’ European tour ended in defeat in France
Olympiacos’ big run in the Women’s EuroCup was concluded in the quarterfinals. After the second loss against French Bourges (76-59), the red-whites are now concentrating on their commitments within the walls.
Olympiakos reached the Women’s EuroCup, qualifying from the group and passing two knockout rounds. However, the encounter with Bourges in the quarterfinals became a wall that sealed him off and saw him eliminated after Wednesday’s 76-59 at the Palais des Sports di Prado.
However, -13 (60-73) from the first game at SEF required a massive overtake from his red-whites Martin Zimbartswhich was not easy to achieve on French soil. They stayed in touch until the 17th minute (29-27) but have since succumbed to an opponent who had set their sights on winning the cup and have lost just one of their games so far (10-1). .
The hosts were careful not to give the Greeks any leeway and set their desired pace early on to secure a double-digit difference that gave them the composure they needed for the rest of the game. They had learned from Aydin’s suffering and not made the same mistake.
Olympiacos would have to do a lot of things perfectly to meet the demands. Without high shooting rates, fewer rebounds – assists and more mistakes, he would not have been lucky. However, he struggled in the fourth third and managed to close the gap to under 20 points with a partial 27-17.
