Olimpijaka secured their place in the EuroLeague Final Four after defeating defending champions Fenerbahçe 79-61 in the semi-final in Athens. Following the match, coach Jorgos Barcokas shared his thoughts on the victory and the upcoming final.
Coach Barcokas Reflects on the Match
"Yes, we lacked creativity in the first half. We needed a break. We played faster, the ball moved faster, and our defense was strong throughout the 40 minutes. That's crucial for such games. We played good defense, and that was the most important thing today," he said.
Preparing for the Final
Barcokas also stressed the importance of staying focused as the next match is only 48 hours away. "Whatever they tried to do to come back into the game, we immediately found a response, we had offensive rebounds. I can't complain about how we played today. At the same time, we have another game in 48 hours, we need to keep the team fresh. We'll see who our opponent will be. Whoever it is, we must fight for every basket and every possession."
neka mi se samo vidi šta će biti protivnik. srećno Olimpijaka, samo neka nam ne prasne u finalu.
