THE Panathinaikos premiered at the new Euroleague against Bayern Munich In OAKA. The victory alone was the point, with Ergkin Ataman’s team not impressing with its appearance but not threatened by … Central Nan.
Panathinaikos was forced for nearly three periods against the Bayern Munich fighter, but at the finale he comfortably reached the victory without… sweating.
The Germans were not able to particularly threaten Ergkin Ataman’s team, although she appeared unprepared, which was reasonable after doing only 3 workouts together.
The image of the match showed that Panathinaikos would “locked” the victory, as long as it raised the tension in defense and attack for a few minutes. This was done in the fourth period and the Greens escaped with two -digit differences.
NON STOP CENTER NAN Since last year
Centic Nan was named MVP last season at EuroLeague and appears to have put a second award for a second series early.
The American guard gave another show to the OAKA, scoring 21 points and 10 assists. This time, in addition to scoring, he also helped creation, being responsible for almost half of Panathinaikos.
They stood out Rogavopoulos and Yourtseven
Nikos Rogavopoulos made a dream debut with the Panathinaikos jersey at Euroleague. The international Greek forward took advantage of the absence of Chendy Osman, began a basic and made Ergkin Ataman as a white man.
Roga was excellent in attacking 15 points, while still had 5 rebounds and 2 steals.
Together with Omer Jurceven were the worthy supporters of Centric Nan. The Turkish center is calculated for a third tall, but against Bayern he played as the first.
He had 14 points (6/6 shots, 4/5 two -pointers), 5 rebounds and 2 assists, dominating under the baskets.
Unprepared the shorts
What Jay Shorts suffered a heavy virus a few weeks ago. He lost several workouts and the “Pavlos Giannakopoulos” tournament in Australia and was a shadow of himself in his green debut at EuroLeague.
The American guard stayed absent (0/3 two -pointers, 0/1 three -point), and had only 3 assists.
Retroaches and spins problems
“It’s the beginning of the season and we’re not ready to play good basketball. We did three workouts together and so we couldn’t finish the match until the last 6-7 minutes. In the first period we made many mistakes in defense, in the team defense. A lot of slow turns in the defense,” he said.
Indeed, the image of Panathinaikos especially in the first period was bad in defense. The players were losing on the spins, with Holmes and Jurcheven having issues … in the backs and the Germans not stopping to nail on an open racket.
Panathinaikos needs work in defense, as Ergkin Ataman admitted. Still the beginning of the season, there are new players, so this picture was normal.
The Greens also had several problems in rebounds. Bayern’s 18 offenses at OAKA are excessive, but the Greens have all the time to work and improve in this area all year.
