THE Olympic She was lined up with many absences against Maccabi Tel Aviv in the SEF, but George Bardzokas’ team found a way to beat her own problems and to win the first place in the normal Euroleague season.
THE Olympiacos was difficult for Maccabi Tel Aviv with 99-93 In the SEF for the last match of the regular Euroleague season and is now waiting to learn the eighth team that will be his opponent in the playoffs.
George Bardzokas did not have at his disposal, Fal, Milutinov, Wokap, Vildosa and Evans, but managed to hide the problems, betting many in two of his players. The reason for Evan Fournier and Mouzes Wright.
The French performer
Evan Fournier has not been in the best possible situation lately, and he was missing from the last game with Alba Berlin, but against Maccabi made sure to show his enormous quality once again this year.
The French guard was enjoyable in the attack, scoring 27 points with 5/7 three -pointers. Most importantly, as a genuine leader, he came out in front of the critical, taking almost all the attacks.
George Bardzokas of course trusted him and Fournier dismantled the Israelis in all ways, scoring both far and near the basket.
Olympiacos hopes that he will have in good shape, Evan Fournier in the finale of the season, where the titles will be judged. With the good of the French guard and Sasa Vezenkov, Piraeus can hardly lose from any Euroleague team.
Mouzes Wright, the big return
Mouzes Wright lost much of the season, returned to the action a few days ago and against Maccabi Tel Aviv made sure to declare about the good “present”, shouting to George Bardzokas that he was here for the big last games of the season.
The American center was the only one available tall and made sure to put the Israelis in the baskets. He became the most valuable player in the match with 18 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, finishing the most phases perfectly through picnics.
Such a good Wright Certainly only as a third option in “5” should not be considered, with the competition in the center position to be great at Olympiacos with the returns of Fal and Milutinov.
In the end, special mention should be made to Williams Goku, who again carried Olympiacos in the district, setting a new career record with his 13 assists.
