For Olympiacos there was only one way, it went in the end

Vitoria’s game for Olympiakos was not an easy one. So far maybe most of the time I’ve talked to you about the comfort, the joy, the…air that the great port team should have, but at one point it comes down to the score. expediency and tactics. Yes, Olympiacos had to make the sacrifice at all costs. All other results in the event aren’t…he’s been smiling for a while. Therefore, it is not possible for him not to help himself. Even in the difficult way, with pressure, with intensity, he should win. It was a match that was beautifully scripted and needed ideal treatment.

You see, Basconia cannot threaten like Real, but above all cannot defend like the “Queen”. But it is an enduring Euroleague team that has also had a string of defeats and hurt selfishness. The Castilians suffered from Olympiakos on Wednesday in the first part, but in the second they used the equation and the people and their jersey and the pressure, turning the situation on its head. And they succeeded. The Fernando Buesa Arena is among the “warm” pitches in Europe (without Covid), but the Piraeus could react differently and with less dizziness than in the Spanish capital. So you did it at the right time. In the defeats, Olympiakos ended up fainting. This time he managed to exterminate his opponent…

Offensive rebounds and assists

Baskonia could take even more damage from his bad start and at the same time from the serious start of the “Red-Whites” in the game. However, the Greek team only built up a double-digit difference like they hit the brakes and threw it at the jerks. Poor attacks, slow movement for no reason and at the same time the hosts’ constant willingness to exploit the open field, because quite simply, in a set game, Olympiacos were good defensively. Baskonia found three points on his distress and along with them four accumulated errors from Olympiacos. Bartzokas eventually found himself in top form (Martin-Vezenkov-Printezis) to follow the bodies of the Basques who are not strong in “5” but the rest run and shoot from everywhere.

Thus, the Spachia team took the lead, connecting with the Olympiacos basket and mostly conquering the half with 10 assists, which significantly hurt Piraeus in the areas of their statistics. By the time the two teams went into the dressing room, Bartzokas had his players without offensive rebounds. Without a second attack after a shot. Without renewal and the slightest inconvenience in defending the Basques. The other; Worse for a tidy team like Olympiacos. Only 3 final passes. That is, Basconia has 10 halves and 3 you? Well, you’re not saying that’s normal. Enter all 9 mistakes.

You will now wonder “And how did you earn three points at half-time?” Well, there’s something that can hold you up if your opponent isn’t a wild tag. And that’s called individual quality. Dorsey and Sloukas created cracks in opposition defenses with relative ease and of the 32 points in the Olympic half they had 15 with them… Along with goalkeeper Fal who held back and stopped the Basques from approaching

Tyler plays… NBA Jam

Olympiacos had to take more things off the bench to have peace of mind, a clearer head and additional solutions beyond the ones you’ve already read. Basconia was the one who took things off her bench and thanks to some shots that came even late, she found herself the winner early in the last third. It was preceded by a red (not deep, of course) ten minutes, but what the team needed to win the game they got in the last five minutes. The accuracy in the threesome was okay, but the most important thing was the defense.

Wokap was better in the second half than in the first. Real help Dorsey in the final minutes, coming off the bench and breaking up Spahia’s defence. I get that Tyler sometimes plays… NBA Jam (remember that?) but there always has to be a villain, one who doesn’t get it and pushes his teammates to the limit. what do guys do Olympiacos didn’t have such a player. For years…

Costas did a great job

I’ll give a special mention, although I’m not used to games that aren’t definitive. But there are also situations and confrontations with quirks that need to be mentioned separately when standing up to push the others. Costas Papanikolaou was the one who did all of this. He was the player who scored four threes, one more important than the other. He was the player who showed his energy in defense and attack, covering situations that would be far worse. For a player to grow, he does not have to bet 30. All four threes should be half, what I write about Kostas is true. He was the key player, the one who kept his performance on a straight line. Yes, Dorsey and Wookup are home as in the end, but they were late… turned up. Fal had good moments too, but also others that “hit” him in the legs.

Importantly for Bartzokas, however, Olympiacos have returned to winning results and now need to prepare for Efes. And let’s not forget, the team owes a lot that if they get them, they’ll secure the playoffs in large part. When he returned from Spain he had to get a win. Mission accomplished…
