What else should Kendrick Nunn do? Swords to swallow?
Panathinaikos suffered their third defeat in a row and Vassilis Skoundis comments on the poor techniques in their game and Real Madrid’s use of artificial intelligence.
To tell the truth, in my exuberant optimism and in my… uninhibited patriotism, I thought that Real Madrid would leave Athens with two defeats to return to Madrid, but I was caught… Damn!
Instead of two defeats, the so-called two confident victories in their home country will continue their winning streak, which has so far brought them 15 wins in 27 games, apart from the preseason defeat against the Dallas Mavericks!
Last night at the OAKA, as Mario Hezonia, the game’s MVP, was idolized by the world and took revenge by placing his hand on the part of his oft-declared and exposed professed green heart, Ergin Ataman thought of the sad Panathinaikos, who still is not single, but several…
Temporary prosperity and constant…instability
I mean this because, after the temporary prosperity that the four victories in a row brought them, the Greens have suffered three defeats in a row, with all that they entail in the process of their improvement and stabilization…
That is indeed the problem of the six-time European champion: after 13 games and a score of 6:7, the demands are greater than the data and the constants are still fluctuating…
As David Blatt said in 2011 while sitting on the Mars bench: “We continue to be consistently volatile“!
Am the other one? Due to déjà vu, they did not learn from their crime in Istanbul and did not make an example, thus falling back into the hard times, which in reality were the same…
The same and unchanged!
The rebounds and the ratio
The deficit of rebounds and the bad ratio I mean, as it happened in the Sinan Erdem Dome against the deforested Efes, similarly and against the eleven crowned champions of the Champions Cup, Panathinaikos fell behind in the ball claims under the basket ( 28 against 36) and At the same time, he barely exceeded the threshold in the ratio of assists (12) to errors (9).
Real’s ability to weaken the opponent’s performances in creation and force them to take individual actions has already been confirmed, so Panathinaikos’ 12 final passes look like a normal number in this case.
Of course, in Istanbul, both his disadvantage in rebounds and especially his generosity in giving Efes second attacks, as well as the ratio fluctuated at a worse level, but in both cases the problem is… Crack!
Nan’s case study and Kozer’s corset
The fiery aggression and ignorance of danger from Kendrick Nunn, whose fearless demeanor against the scarecrow named Eddie Tavares is a case in point, gave the impression that Panathinaikos would have serious luck putting Real on the screen.
The former Heat, Lakers and Wizards player managed to score 20 points in the first half, but then the bees came!
To be precise, the French bees unexpectedly appeared on the face of Fabian Coser, who did not chew when he took on the dangerous mission, he became Nan’s tight corset and stopped him, even without the classic part in his hair disturb!
With the American guard scoring quietly and Panathinaikos’ 7/23 three-pointers contrasted with Real’s 13/26, the scenario was flipped and the job stinks!
The PlayStation console
The result;
Panathinaikos, which had -9 (26-35) with Matias Lessors two tomahawk spikes as a starting point in the tailback, with a low lineup of three guards (Voldosa, Nan, Grant) and with a partial score of 19-4 When he was at + 6 (45-30), he suddenly saw the visitors disappear from his radar.
In a spectacular performance that saw Real move as if remotely controlled by a PlayStation console, the game turned on its head and ended prematurely: Madrid responded with a score of 31-7 and led by 18 points (52-70). ) It was clear that the humble ceremony would come to an early end and salvage Panathinaikos’ 16th defeat in the last 17 games between them!
Artificial Intelligence from Real
Starting with Facundo Cabaso’s buzzer-beater, which also weighed on the psychological side as it gave Real the lead (45-46), the Greens were caught by six players and could not keep up, but could not even watch the crescendo of their opponents , whose image it was directly related to the hustle and bustle of modernity.
Here’s to artificial intelligence!
At the end of the fourth period, Panathinaikos halved the difference (63-72), but damn, this rocket-strong Real, despite his absences (Rodriguez, Giabucelli), is too good to give rights unless she puts her little hands in and takes her eyes out (see Campaso in the game with Fenerbahce).
What does Panathinaikos gain from this test? Not many things, I’m afraid…
The inferiority of the guards
As positive signs, he considers his reaction to -9, the two (out of three) deafening spikes from Lessor, about which, if the pardoned Thanasis Giannakopoulos were alive, he would say: “Even the marbles will fall” and Nan’s fearlessness against Tavares …
He doesn’t hold back and would discuss his failure to make threes, his subgenre of assists, his unresolved rebounding problem, his bout of third-period aphasia, the 90 points he “eaten” and the shadowy presence of Nan willingly throwing away teammates on the boundary line…
Is this the last thing again?
The restless Kostas Sloukas scored six points and an assist, Luka Vildosa (against his compatriot and former Red Star teammate Campaso) four points, utility small forward Marius Grigonis three and the ever-productive Gerian Grant five points, one assist and no rebounds .
The Swords of Nan and the Rembi of Tavares
The four scored seven goals in 23 shots, and as a result, Nunn was left like a straw in the air, already wondering: “What else to do, swords to swallow“!
He swallowed it up, he even bullied Eddie Tavares in the first half, but at the end of the day, when the lights went out, the center from Cape Verde was the one rowing with a view of the Acropolis!

Greek “Panathinaikos” The team faced serious personnel problems due to the flu epidemic.
Eight players and three members of the coaching staff were immediately diagnosed with influenza A with severe symptoms.
Panathinaikos has shown good form in recent matches, but flu A has spread to Greece and has affected the team, which will most likely lead to the postponement of the Greek championship match against Maroussi, scheduled for December 27.
The problem is not only related to the championship match, but also to the derby against Olympiacos in the Euroleague, which is scheduled for January 2, as the epidemic prevents the team’s normal preparations.
Since many players have severe symptoms, no one can say for sure how the disease will progress and when everyone will be healthy.
The names of the sick people have not been disclosed at this time.
