Bayern – Olympiacos 88-98: He made the move for the foursome in Munich
Great victory for Olympiakos in Munich against Bayern (98-88), a result that gives Piraeus the right to talk about the quartet and home advantage in the EuroLeague playoffs.
The first of the two trips to Germany in one week was pleasant for Olympiacos. The Piraeus team defeated Bayern Munich (98-88) in EuroLeague game 28 to remain in the circle of four that offers home field advantage in the event’s playoffs en route to the final .
The Reds and Whites rose to 16-9 (11-1 home and 5-8 a) with Tyler Dorsey doing things and wonders in attack, Sasha Vezenkov and Hassan Martin following him, and Kostas Sloukas leading in execution and creation, in another big night of the past few weeks. Augustin Rubit put his former team in a difficult position, but the otherwise very combative Bayern were left behind by forces in the final and did not have the quality and depth of their opponents.
The MVP
A difficult night to distinguish an Olympiacos player. Tyler Dorsey broke in 26 minutes (25 points, 4/6 two points, 4/4 three points, 5/6 shots) but wasn’t down in the final minutes, Costas Sloukas hitting a double-double with 11 points and 10 assists for only two errors, Hassan Martin had 14 points from 6/6 two points, Sasha Vezenkov stopped at 17 points without extortion … half a shot, in general Piraeus was a team in every sense of the word .
The weak link
After Nick Weiler-Babb was out due to a serious injury he sustained two days ago, Andrea Trinkieri needed a little more than Ognjen Jaramaz (9 points, 2/7 shots) from Corey Walden (6 points, 5 fouls). 38), by Jean-Marc Cisco (4 points, 5 assists, 3 penalties at 29:07) to maintain victory to the end.
The stats that stood out
Tyler Dorsey finished the first period with 13 points, playing everything and having 1/1 two points, 3/3 three points and 2/3 shots. For their part, Bayern made just one error before ending the 20th minute with 62% on two points, 50% on three points and 84% on shots. At the end of the evening, Piraeus 26/34 had two points, with the percentage reaching 77%, which is shocking for such a game away against such a dynamic opponent. The points in the surprise were 2-13 and this performance was another explanation for the very important result of the red and white.
The race
Olympiakos started with the classic five (Wokap, Dorsey, Papanikolaou, Vezenkov, Fal), with Dorsey creating things and wonders, scoring nine points in three minutes and writing 8-13. Piraeus were determined in attack, they killed their opponents and shot (9/11 to 17-24 in the seventh minute) but they didn’t have the same consistency in defense and in the final of the season they had conceded 29 points the hosts count 4/7 two-pointers, 5/9 three-pointers, and 6/7 shots from six assists for one error.
With Dorsey feeling… Curry, in scoring and creation, Piraeus took the lead (36-34) early in the second half but the mistakes hurt him. The hosts’ speed gave them the lead in the 16th minute (44-38), shortly after that a ten-point lead (50-40), with Larentzakis scoring a big three and Sloukas scoring a goal foul for a small goal though a very small one valuable series of 8:0 towards the end of the twenty minutes.
As Dorsey reached 20 points early in the second half, Olympiakos attempted to return to the driver’s role, receiving back-to-back threes from Augustin Rubit (59-55), blasting another long shot from his main shooter for 59-60 before Vezenkov’s defense danced to 59-63, prompting a timeout from Trinkieri. The Red-Whites’ defense had improved, and had the Bartzokas players managed their fouls better, they would have gone into the fourth quarter with a bigger lead.
Vezenkov’s three to make it 71-76 in 32 minutes looked a good omen for Piraeus at a time when the hosts were beginning to tire, but a poor reaction from Martin immediately gave Rubit a foul. How did the American answer? With his own basket to 76-80 and with a nail to 76-82, before McKissick surprisingly left to +8 (87-79) four minutes before the final. The big basket came at 2:21, however, when the ball, after an aggressive rebound and patience, reached Sloukas, who scored from middle distance to make it 83:91 and clear the game.

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.
