Euro League
Panathinaikos – Erythros Asteras 79-73: Prestige victory against all problems
Troubled Panathinaikos OPAP played with self-denial and great tactical approach to achieve victory over Red Star (79-73) for the 27th game of EuroLeague. Key player is Vassilis Kavvadas, who had 17 points and 6 rebounds.
Panathinaikos OPAP had a thousand excuses for the Red Star game. The disappointment of losing the cup, the many and important absences (Ioannis Papapetrou, Stefan Jovic, Okaro White, George Papagiannis). However, he did not stay in them, he entered the OAKA parquet with determination and willingness to fight to the end, which in the end justified him after beating the Red Star (79-73) in the 27th game of the EuroLeague.
The Greens never left the Reds and Whites alone, with Nemanja Nedovic taking the lead again and Vassilis Kavvadas delivering one of the best performances of his career, leaving the Serbian defense with an unresolved problem near the goal.
In the highlights of the game was, firstly, the fact that George Papagiannis went from Ethniki to OAKA to play right after the game (the response of the trefoil technical staff was obvious) and secondly, the debut of Nikos Hougaz with the green jersey.
The MVP
Nemanja Nedovic was once again the leader of Panathinaikos OPAP, but the one who did a little more for the win to come was Vassilis Kavvadas. The international center with the very small role in the rotation stepped onto the OAKA floor, ready to get the job done. When it happened. Used in the 20’08”, he offered 17 points (at 8/10 two points and 1/1 shot), 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 errors.
The weak link
Stefan Markovic is a shadow of himself this year, he essentially has nothing to offer as he has become a few-minute player in the change. In OAKA, he stayed on the ground for 9’28” without scoring (0/1, two points), giving only 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 error.
The stat that stood out
Panathinaikos OPAP had a big problem in defensive rebound, with the Red Star collecting 15 forwards in the forty minutes. Still, the Greens won with 66.7% two-pointer counterweight and 19 assists.
The race
The beans were measured by definition for Panathinaikos OPAP, who had a mountain to climb in the Red Star game. The visitors took advantage of the home team’s lack of energy in the opening minutes, with Austin Hollins and Luka Mitrovic causing the most damage to Dejan Radonic’s team’s +9 (17-26 in 11′). Gradually, however, the Greens improved and took things off their bench, with Lefteris Mantzoukas and Vassilis Kavvadas doing a great job. The two gave them easy points in attack and put Panathinaikos OPAP within range (27:28 in 15′), allowing Nemanja Nedovic to take the baton from the spot and take the cloverleaf lead thanks to Dreier-He reached from the logo in OAKA, almost with the expiry of the first part (42-41).
Red Star was the team that started the game more dynamically after the break. After Aaron White cleared the air and the rest scored consistently, Dejan Radonjic’s side managed to keep the Greens at +9 (48-57) for almost three minutes without a point in the 27th minute of the game. However, thanks to Nemanja Nedovic and Vassilis Kavvadas, Panathinaikos OPAP recovered very quickly. The two scored consecutive baskets and within two minutes the Greens managed to stop play and go +1 (58-57) just before the end of the third period.
From there everything changed from cast to cast as the two teams ran small series but could not fully impose their rhythm. The Red Star saw Aaron White continue to collect offensive rebound after offensive rebound, Nate Walters took a step forward, it was Panathinaikos OPAP who, however, entered the home stretch and took the lead thanks to a lead (71-69 in 38′). Three Pointers by Howard Sand Ross.
That’s it. The flow never receded, with Nemanja Nedovic being exemplary both as a creator (for Vassilis Kavvadas) and as a performer. The 31-year-old warden did whatever it took to keep Panathinaikos OPAP at the top right to the end and claim a victory that many didn’t expect given the Greek team’s many struggles.

Hi, my name is Jayden James. I am a writer at Sportish, and I mostly cover sports news. I have been writing since high school and have been published in various magazines and newspapers. I also write book reviews for a website. In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer and basketball.
Mustafa Fal has delivered a monstrous performance in international matches and Vassilis Skoundis is tackling the problem, inevitably involving the first teacher of the art, Panagiotis Fassoulas.
“The gypsy saw his generation and his heart rejoiced,” says a proverb whose meaning fits the occasion… I mean, the occasion of Fal seeing the other Fal opposite him and enjoying him normally and in accordance with the law!
Let the necessary recommendations be made…
One of them is Mustafa Fal, who was born in Paris on February 23, 1992, he is French, he plays in his country’s national team, his hat comes from Senegal, he has been looking since he was 2.18. He is in his third season at Olympiacos…
Yusufa and Taco
The other person who competed against him yesterday is Youssoufa Fal, who was born in Dakar on January 12, 1995, is a Senegalese with French nationality, has a height of 2.21 m and is competing in Villerban for the third consecutive time…
There is of course the much wilder Taco Fal, who was also born in Dakar on December 10, 1995, spent three seasons in the NBA, is now sizzling in China and has had his head tickling the feet of God since he was 229 cm tall!
Mustafa, Yusufa and Tako have no relationship or kinship between them: they are synonymous, apart from the coincidence that ensures that they are all three kilometers long!
The triple-double figure in Pylaia
He had attacked the Olympiacos central defender again on the 11th of last month, on the occasion of the triple-double he scored in the game against PAOK in Pylaia, rare in our area, but he wanted to make us laugh for a while as his only goal!
At first he missed Yannis Fileris who treated him properly, but I also have some stitches for his fur!
To say my sin, I laughed and liked Fileris’ pun on… Wrong!
Fasoulas and… Lumidis
In any case, “Pani” was like…Lumidis in the field of coffee roasting, plus he made heads turn with soft nails with his unique and unparalleled skills.
To paraphrase Lumidis’ advertising slogan: in our case it was “Everyone in their own way and Fasoulas in their caps“!
Since the conversation broke out, the experienced PAOK and Olympiacos international center has recorded five triple-doubles with points, rebounds and blocks, which are of course rarer than those that include assists.
He scored the first of these goals on October 15, 1988 (PAOK-Panionios) with 18 points, 18 rebounds and 13 blocks.
Two weeks later he “wrote” the second with 20-18-11 against Apollon Patras, on November 19 he followed the third against Sporting (29-19-15), while in the 1990/91 season he added two more: 18 – 14-10 with Peristeri and 19-12-11 with Iraklis.
Vrankovic’s record and the “wow” with Green
Similar triple feats with plugs have also been achieved by Stojan Vrankovic (who is already the record holder in EuroLeague history with 10 in a Fortitudo Bologna-Cibona Zagreb game) with Panathinaikos, Anthony Cook with PAOK, Mike Smrek with Dafni, PJ Brown with Panionios, Efthymis Renzias with the National Youth Team and Antonis Fotsis with the Greens youth team.
On Friday night in Lyon, Fall broke the bank when he nearly followed in Draymond Green’s footsteps and posted a rare triple-double without scoring in double figures.
He reached the final horn with two points, seven rebounds, seven assists and eight blocks, while the Warriors’ cocky forward did so on February 10, 2017 against the Grizzlies with 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 steals and just two points.
From 0.8 to 8
Fal had grabbed 14 rebounds in the game against Red Star while he dished out seven assists in the game against Baskonia, so there is no news here…
The wave was caused by the eight caps, because on the one hand there are a lot of them and on the other hand the so-called do not have a big problem with davtes.
Before the game with Villerban, he had taken 12 shots in 14 games, and suddenly he flashed and thundered from a 0.8 average to eight!
What is the key quality a good blocker should have?
The cap for Moretti, the timing and the caps
Instead of answering, I’ll give the floor to a specialist and expert, none other than Panagiotis Fasoulas, who, among other things, scored the most decisive international match in the history of Olympiacos!
I am referring to the match against Paolo Moretti in the third game of the European Champions Cup playoff series in the 10993/94 season, thanks to which Piraeus qualified for the Final 4 in Tel Aviv.
“Everything is a question of timing“he explained to me when I asked him how he cultivated and developed his art.
“You need to know and understand where, when and how to jump to block the opponent’s shot. In addition to this sense of space and time, speed of movement and long arms also play a role. I did the caps and even covered the ball so we could go straight to attack” explains Fasoulas, who is already drawing the moral lesson of the story…
“Attack requires talent, but defense depends on will.”
The spider web
Last but not least, this desire flowed from the… gums of Fasoula, who went out and trapped his opponents in the spider’s web from which no one could escape.
From his appearance in the early 80s until his retirement in 1999, he reduced defense not only to a science, but to a spectacular spectacle!

Matias Lessor received hundreds of interesting messages from friends of Panathinaikos AKTOR about his injury and quickly explained what the situation is.
Matias Lessor’s injury was the only black mark in the game against Armani Milano. For this very reason, the people of Panathinaikos AKTOR didn’t enjoy it as much as they would have liked. At least until they received the results of the sports high school exams.
The day after the game, it became clear that the problem was not serious. However, Matias Lessor explained in detail how he feels after his injury and thanked everyone for their interest.
Matias Lesor’s message in detail:
“Thank you everyone for your lovely messages and your interest. I’m feeling much better. It just hurts, but I’m fine“.

End of alert for Matias Lesor at Panathinaikos AKTOR. The French center has a bad back due to the injury and will miss tomorrow’s (December 24th) game against Prometheus in Patras (20:15, ERT3 and LIVE on Sportish), but his tests were clear.
Matias Lesor will play in tomorrow’s (December 24th) away game of Panathinaikos AKTOR against Prometheus (8:15 p.m., 3 a.m. and LIVE from Sportish) on matchday 11 of the Stoiximan Basket League due to the lower back injury he sustained in this game , do not compete Armani Milano. But he escaped the worst.
The French center was tested immediately after the return of the “Greens” from Milan, who were “clean”. In other words, they didn’t show that the bone was broken in the middle – which everyone feared when they saw the Frenchman slaughtered on the ground. But Lesor is still in pain, ruling him out of the game against Prometheus and considered doubtful for next week’s EuroLeague game against Red Star.
With Lesor out, Oleg Balcherovski, Kostas Antetokounmpo and Dinos Mitoglou will fill the center position in the game against Prometheus.
