THE Panathinaikos He had the opportunity to check the Euroleague Final Four ticket from Friday night (2/5/2025). He seemed to control the game at several intervals, but at the finale he lost in the details of the Efes of Anadolu in the city.
OR Efes Anadolou prevailed Panathinaikos with 85-82tied the series at 2-2, with the qualification at the Euroleague Final Four judged in a fifth game at OAKA in the evening (21:45) on Tuesday (7/5/2025).
In a truly shocking Game 4 ongoing, Panathinaikos was capable of 2/2 to the city, which would send him to Abu Dhabi.
However, after the difficult three-point lead of the unfortunate and tonight (3/12 shots in the plain) at 30΄΄ for the end, the “clover” presented signs of suicide and paid it.
Two incorrect fouls (the second unprofessional) of the “Greens” and a housing striker of the hosts, gave Anadolu a 7-point safety pad (83-76 at 15΄΄), with Osman reducing from 6.75 to 5΄΄ and Nan again. Victory, before Sloukas set up 85-82 with a three-pointer in the finale.
On a bad night Cereic Nan
Unlike the third game of the series, where MVP was by far, Centric Nan could not greatly help Panathinaikos in the fourth match.
The American guard stayed away from his good self, scoring 12 points with 1/8 two -pointers (!), 2/4 three -pointers and 4/6 shots. Panathinaikos’ heavy artillery did not find corridors to the Turkish basket, made 2 errors and ended the game with just 3 points in the rating system.
This is definitely one of his worst appearances this season.
Leader Costas Sloukas
If for some reason Panathinaikos has to smile, he is for the racing situation of Kostas Sloukas. The Greek guard has turned the chip and seems capable of leading Ataman’s team at the most critical point of the season.
In the second half of the fourth match, Sloukas was enjoyable in execution and creation. It was essentially all Panathinaikos from one point in the game.
His magical appearance, however, did not stand enough to avoid the clover of the defeat, but he sent a message for the fifth game.
Osman and Huanzo stood out in the attack
In the positives for the green the appearance of Cesti Osman and Huanzo Erngome.
The Turkish forward was the most dangerous player for Efes’ defense, scoring 22 points. He was excellent in the first half, he tried hard in the second but in the finale he could not give extra solutions.
For his part, the Spanish forward woke up in the second half, put on some big shots and finished the game with 15 points and 7 rebounds.
Huanzo left the evil for him a third game of the series with Efes and returned to the factory settings.
And now OAKA
Panathinaikos lost to Turkey but was not lost. Ergkin Ataman’s team holds in their hands the qualification at the Euroleague Final Four.
To do so, it is sufficient to confirm the law of the OAKA. The world of Panathinaikos is expected to flood every corner of the stadium and push the Greens to Abu Dhabi.
Ergkin Ataman’s team always improves in front of its world and if it catches its well -known performance will be the big favorite to qualify for the Final Four.
