Bartzokas: «The pressure is now on Fenerbahce»

The coach of Olympiacos, Giorgos Bartzokas, appeared to be satisfied with the break and stressed that the pressure is now on the side of the Turkish team.

"It was obviously a fantastic game in the series, just like the one played in Tel-Aviv last night, and also in Belgrade. Euroleague is a very tough league. It was a fantastic game for the fans, who had the chance to watch such great games between two good teams. I want to express my respect to Fenerbahce. They played very well. We, despite leading with a three by Vezenkov, our opponent found the way to return to the game and lead with a bucket by Guduric. However, Sloukas was the one to decide the result with a big shot. From my point of view, we lost the second game in Piraeus because due to rebounding gave them 4 or 5 extra possessions which was important for us. We did not shoot well from the three-throw line, although we have good shooters and we found open shots. The pressure was on us and now it's moving on Fenerbahnce's side. We'll have to analyze the game, see what we did right, what we did wrong and what we need to do on Friday to win one more game. I'm certain it's going to be one more very good game".
