THE Olympic He returned to wins after three consecutive defeats and climbed to the top of Euroleaguea racing before the regular season finale.
Olympiacos is the most stable team in the regular Euroleague season and would be unfair if it did not end in the first place. George Bardzokas’ team took advantage of Fenerbahce’s defeat by Barcelona, defeated Alba with 100-92 in Berlin And he returned to the top, from where he will hardly fall, as he welcomes Maccabi to the SEF and a simple victory is enough.
The match against Alba is not offered for safe conclusions. Olympiacos reacted after the ongoing defeats against a weak opponent, but he did so with halfafter Fournier, Milutinov, Fal, Wokap and Vildosa stayed in Athens.
Piraeus showed two faces in Berlin. In the first half they played space basketball, disrupted Alba’s bad defense and scored 61 points, showing that they would have an easy night in Germany.
Making an appearance analogous to the first half in the second half would not be normal, only that Olympiacos took it to the … extremes. The first -party space team gave way to a set that did not circulate the ball well in the attack and which in the defense was out of place and time, with Alba scoring as it wanted.
Only in this way would the Germans be able to return from -20 and move ahead. At critical, however, George Bardzokas’ team showed a character and “swallowed” Alba.
The machine gun Peters
Alec Peters was impressive in Berlin. He filled the huge gap in the racket, necessarily playing up to “5”, as Wright was the only other tall in the team.
The American Power Forward scored 33 points in the last away match of the Reds Year, reaching 8/9 three -pointers, causing two personal records to the event.
He put on all the big shots and the critical shots, playing for… Vezenkov, who had a quiet night.
The decisive Williams Goku
The MVP of the race, however, was not Alec Peters, but Williams Goku who scored the highest rating in the rating system.
The American guard scored a career record at Euroleague in terms of the rating units he gathered in the match.
Specifically, Olympiacos ace had 32 PIR (compared to Alek Peters) as he had 4/8 two -pointers, 2/3 three -pointers, 8/9 shots, 5 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block and 7 assists for just 1 mistake!
Awesome appearance by Goku who has been playing in recent months for injured Thomas Wokap.
