Papanikolaou: «Defense and good decisions in offense will be the keys»
Olympiacos remained on Spanish territory and traveled immediately following the game against Real Madrid to Vitoria where tomorrow (04/02, 20.30 CET), will be facing off against Baskonia for the 25th Euroleague round.
“We leave behind us what happened against Real. Even if we had won, he ought to leave it behind”, was what Kostas Papanikolaou stressed and went on to say: “We always have to be focusing on the next target, on the next game. We have a day to prepare and be as ready as possible for a very difficult game, in a tough home court”.
Talking about what it is that Olympiacos needs to do so as to leave Vitoria with a win, the ‘reds’ forwards pointed out: “I think that if our defense is as good as it had been during the first half of the game against Real and we pass the ball when attacking so as to find easy and good solutions, then we are upping our chances at winning”.
- Giannoulis Larentzakis and Quincy Acy are still off the final cut.
