Olympiacos with heart, stubbornness, defense and Slouka can take it without giving everything to his people

Too bad people don’t enjoy nights like this. And I’ll start whining – and I’ll end like this – because it’s a shame and unfair that everything has relaxed and thousands of people are allowed into the stadiums. Depriving Olympiacos of its world. And deprive people of the opportunity to experience what we have all seen. Sloukas to “kill” Efes and Sasha Vezenkov to make the stadium… Bouzouki store!

Sasha went crazy and started turning the plates. The team found a click ahead of a home loss. Everything went into detail. Suddenly the ball was in McKissick’s hands and everyone said “No, he”. Luckily the ball then went into the hands of whoever is ok and if they lose it you will sleep peacefully. And he didn’t lose it. From the corner and up and down a field. And he’d made sure to show his whims early on. Read …

The… bread and cheese from Kostas

Expected and yet logical, the mood of the team was to transfer the game to Fal. Plais is good but the Frenchman can put him in the basket better. For his part, the German plays high much more easily, which made it difficult for the Olympiacos center to follow. Woookup’s absence from the match put Dorsey and Slouka in the top five from the start.

Costas was “hot”, punishing every daydream of the Turks, who in turn followed the path of quick movement without the ball to find their favorite shot. Ataman even went into battle alongside Larkin, Misic, and Boboa, though he didn’t have any significant of that particular inspiration. The Turkey coach even took a risk, leaving Sigleton on the floor who had two fouls early on. The Olympiacos defense entered well. Think Score was obtained from Sigleton-Simon and Plais. From each of the… artillery (the first was a miss by Misic at 9′.30”) and this gave the Greek team and their thousand friends extra confidence. Efes has corrected its defensive shortcomings from the start and something like that never lets Sloukas go to waste…

Efes and the… train

Such a game and path has a lot, but also special conditions that can assess situations in which one does not understand it. Bartzokas played with Lountzi, Larentzaki, McKissick, Printezis and Martin for a while. He didn’t do it by accident. He knew he wasn’t going to score goals easily, but it was also okay to wear down the Turks, soil them, tire them and… poison them. And since it’s fair to say that “the pace has been cut forward,” the answer is that you can’t go 40 minutes with a character, so there are times when you’re looking for the slightest losses.

For Efes, the problems in the final start with their defense but also with the fact that they look static compared to last year and most of their players wait to shoot rather than create. Many people say that if the Turks make the playoffs they will be able to “close the door” on anyone who succeeds. Agree. It’s just that time goes by and eventually they start to worry about catching the qualifying move. That may have crossed their minds at SEF when they started to lose their feet. They became more methodical, they were left to Misic’s inspirations and so the Serb managed to lead them with calm and confidence to the dressing room for a break after filming the scene.

This is the sport!

Basketball isn’t a one-size-fits-all sport. Even though some people say statistics is a mirror and others such sweet intelligences. There are things in sport that numbers will never find. Turn the earth upside down. Costas Papanikolaou was an example of such a situation in that game. The Greece international did things inside the four lines that weren’t spotted in the stats to uncover them. From additional help, from block-outs, from movement, from momentum to rebounds. That’s what the coaches see, as on the contrary, Moerman gave ataman solutions and kept him at a time when the shorts again didn’t have the field of action they’d like.

Efes held up well with their quality and thus led the match to the end. It was a nice game between two good teams. Olympiakos created excitement in a match full of nerves, tough moments and lots of personal energy. Well, in this part, whoever is the most ruthless wins. Both teams have players like that, they went into overtime, the Turks seemed very capable of getting the double (there is no cafe) and they would have done it if Sloukas hadn’t found a goal. It was a nice game. Everyone deserves a thumbs up for what they’ve done. Both Bartzokas and Ataman and the players. It was intense in the semi-finals… Such is the sport and victory brings Olympiakos a huge psychological gain but also breath for the general classification. We’re talking about a team that has fewer games…

I repeat, he is wronged…

The truth is Olympiacos have been wronged by the Covid conditions. I understand that other teams have been pulling hard, but the Piraeus have learned to go with their world. It’s no coincidence that they went undefeated, nor is it a coincidence that in regulating a thousand people, the extra impetus they’ve received from their audience isn’t there. In the last two minutes, those who were on the field were screaming, but it can’t be compared …

The team is trying and will continue to do so. No connoisseur said he would get home field advantage. The European goal is first of all to qualify for the playoffs and from there we’ll see. The big and difficult games are won by the hearts and the players. On an evening when after a long time all the results “sat”. Olympiacos has both and continues…
