What happened during Bartzokas’ timeout before Papanikolaou’s captain intervened?
Kostas Papanikolaou took the floor during a critical timeout with 2:30 left in the game between Olympiakos and Erythro Asteras. That was what Giorgos Bartzokas demanded before the Reds captain’s intervention.
There has been a lot of talk about Giorgos Bartzokas’ time out 2’30” Before the end of the game with Red Star, many wondered who the Greek coach wanted to “send” before the intervention of captain Kostas Papanikolaou.
The successive EuroLeague top coach did not target any particular player, but overall complained about the carelessness of his players, which led to a series of 9 unanswered points from the visitors, reducing the deficit from 14 (80-). 66 with 3’47” to go) to 5 points (80-75 with 2’30” to go).
