Euro League
Olympiacos had all of the symptoms of Covid and came out … negative
If the Piraeus are in the cheetah, they rarely lose, if they are favorites, then their result is usually worse than the tests for the coronavirus. Bartzokas was sent off, his players made a salad and Pantelis Diamantopoulos writes why.
They went to the city as a favorite. First evil. They had to play for over two weeks. Almost everyone had coronavirus, they got rid of it, but they had their symptoms while playing the game. The “red-whites” lost to Hazer and Akpinar. They weren’t destroyed. For heaven’s sake. But it is not possible to pass on to … dukou that they ate 94 points. They won by 3 points at halftime and got into second and were destroyed. With a few exceptions, Bartzokas and his players did enough to lose. Although everyone wins and everyone loses, those who fought against it do not find anything beautiful. Appropriate …
The Turks had 12/18 in the second half. Don’t be afraid of Olympiakos if it’s an outsider. When the opponent is at their best, when the field is … jungle. You will always find the solution. Instead, always worry when he is baptized a darling. When there are players from the “opposing” team and everyone thinks the game will be definitive. Bartzokas was sent off early, McKissick scored early, they made it a mantra in the second half. And against them was a team that let the ball circulate well. She shot beautifully in the second half, but most of all she used strength, stubbornness and elements that led her to victory. Fener made the simple look … masterpieces. And Olympiacos bad behavior played a role in this, finding itself and overcoming the … arrhythmia of abstinence.
In the first part, the team completely lost their return to defense and their coach. Bartzokas was sent off with two technical penalties and his players had an issue with their suspension early in the game. However, they rested in the locker room and won because they were simply more and qualitatively superior. With no angry players who previously made “popes”, the team found their peace in certain hands like those of Printezis.
For some, the game may not have started well. And the opponent also played a role in this. What I mean; Hazer was the key player for Djordjevic. Because he was simply given the assignment to outplay Dorsey and completely disorganized the “red-whites” who threaten the most. McKissick was injured, Wookup found a threesome after a long time, but the match didn’t go well initially. The same goes for Fal and Vezenkov.
As nice as it is that after the suffering with Covid everyone is ready for war, the renunciation of official activities was very obvious. The arrival of Slouka and Printezis ensured safety and a constant offensive threat as Papanikolaou took the lead in the second ten minutes. The Turks, in addition to the expected grouping without their two best players, also had certain children on which to base their picks. With the weight falling on Henry and Polonara and the rest going with strength, it at least gave them a balance in aiming. And they defended themselves as best they could.
Olympiacos were a favorite because of the quality and overall image, but you have to show them off on the floor and the +3 of the half was definitely not enough. In addition, the rebounds were lost during this period and Fener had a better percentage in the two-mans, which is not common in the games where one team is Olympiacos. However, the game was interesting and as you can see it wasn’t easy. 16 of the 36 points scored by the Turks in the first part came from an open field game. When they went to a playset, Piraeus had the answers. And they wanted to do that longer in the second part. Did you do it? Nope …
Pierre started his own party, Christos Pappas left the evil Dorsey more on the floor than he should, the Turks increased their pressure and Tsabouka, they left with full force because they could do that and so they got a security difference. Half-time standings leader Printezis failed to hit the floor in the 20′-31 ‘period and the return may have worked, but in general the defense was tragic.
The team received 30 points with 7/9 threes from the opponent. Well, 9 mistakes in ten minutes, what else do you want to make the third third turn out to be tragic? And in the final 28th, the home team also got psychology, a rehearsal of … sky-high and unbalanced threesomes from Guduric. Mahmutoglu provided solutions from the bench and Djordjevic also saw basketball players who have played very little, enter the field and fight with substance.
Olympiacos lost an away game. I wrote it in the foreword, it has not been destroyed. He needs to get back to normal, balanced and strong. Many of the “first violins” didn’t play music, but whatever came to mind. Others hesitated to shoot. Others shot for no reason. Others held the ball. And all together … mistakes and dizziness. I told you symptoms … life goes on. And the Euroleague too. Piraeus is doing very well so far and can return to victories. A little rest, a clear head of the coach and the players and the victories will come again …
