THE Olympic She made a bad appearance in the home game with the Red Star for her 30th race Euroleagueknowing the defeat by 81-73.
Olympiacos’ defeat was not of particular importance, with Piraeus to secure, in fact, the advantage of the playoffs and continuing to be the ultimate favorite to win the first place in the normal Euroleague period.
At the end of the match, Sakil McCisik stressed that his team’s appearance reminded of some cases … cartoon. At the same time, he referred to the 100 years of Olympiacos and the goal of conquering Euroleague.
In detail what he said to “Amerikanos24”:
For defeat by the Red Star: “The Red Star shot a lot of three -pointers and put a lot of three -pointers. And he lost a lot of three -pointers, but we couldn’t take advantage of it. “
As for whether this defeat can become a lesson for the sequel: “We have won many games, so a defeat can be a lesson, after so many lessons we took to win, it is a bit difficult for me to say that. But yes, every defeat is a lesson of course. But we have a very good team. It was a game we could win. They just put them.
In the first quarter it was a bit like we were in a crazy state with the ball. It was really like looney tunes. It was amazing because I was out there and the ball just didn’t get into the basket. And when such things are starting to happen, the other team gets more and more confident, but they had a good start and it is difficult to recover from it. “
For the 100th anniversary of Olympiacos: “It’s amazing. I was at lunch today and I was just sitting there. I was the last one to go to my room. All the coaches and the ramp were there and I was thinking that this is my family. The greatest uncles, paternal figures, children I have learned a lot over the years. And for me this is very important. Because few players in the history of the Euroleague can say that. They are guys who would go to war for me and they know that I will go to war for them. And to do it in a club like Olympiacos, with these presidents who are always polite and fair, is an amazing feeling. You like to leave legacies, but we’ll see. “
For the goal of conquering the Euroleague: “I think about this day and night. Good game, bad game, it’s frustrating because you have to wait day by day, you go home and just sit there and wait for the moment to be on the Final 4. And you just hope inside you that everything will go well. But if it doesn’t go well, you must somehow overcome that. You know, it’s been so many years that we were going and fighting. And I would rather go and fight and lose than to be home. So I’m looking forward to the opportunity again, of course, if we can do it in the playoffs, and I’m ready. “
