I try for a long time to decide if the second friendly with Alba was useful or not George Bartzoka and the truth is that I have not reached any conclusion. So while I was waiting, I started writing.
I find it useful was not because the absence of Spanouli, Harrison Y Girlfriend brought to the ground Ways we’ll never see Especially the “Fives” that Bartzokas had on the ground in the second half and even left them together for 7-8 minutes.
What conclusion can a coach draw from a scheme, for example with Koniari, Larentzaki Y McKissick; I may be wrong because I explain that these are my thoughts.
On the other hand, it was useful for Bartzokas because he had the opportunity to see the situation of some players who had played a little or who had not offered enough. For example Koniaris, Charalambopoulos Y Larentzakis or if you prefer Jenkins and the McKissick.
But let’s take things in half tonight …
FIRST HALF
The team was fresh and for 20 minutes they played impressively good basketball for the season. I really liked the persistence in the quick basket. Even put annotated Jean charles unrivaled after a basket from Alba.
The key in this phase was, of course, his quick recovery pass and his long pass. Σλουκα.
Olympiacos showed persistence in finding a basket on the opening offense.
An important difference that I noticed in relation to other friendlies was the first pass after the rebound. Whoever was taller, mainly got the rebound, looking for the front and not the back or in the same straight line. In fact, Martin twice gave a pass to “empty space” with him Σλουκα and the McKissick to find the ball as you run towards the opponent’s basket.
In “5on5” I quite liked the flow of players in the system or the game. Synchronized, with players who know exactly where to go and when. The offensive function was very good.
SECOND HALF
THE Sunrise it made sense to react. THE Reneses put it on If you to chase him Σλουκα even in the bathroom. As soon as the ball passed, the Greek guard could not take it again.
Without plate tthe game became “4on4” and without Sloukas, without creation. Alba became even more aggressive in defense, “weighing” as in some cases “weighing” and Olympiacos and the party changed their image.
THE Bartzokas He yelled “protect the ball and look for the safe option”, but to no avail. In the last period they made 7 or 8 errors out of 25 (again) in total.
Without him Σλουκα on the ground the other guards did not respond. In attack I understand, but in defense?
Alba scored 31 points in the last period. Inadmissible.
In the woods of Alba not only did they retreat, but they did not mind doing at least the same with her.
The last three minutes, however, were a good simulation for the official games that follow. With the team back on the scoreboard, Bartzokas brought Slouka and Papanikolaou back and at 65-60, it became 65-64. Regardless of whether the match was lost, it was a reaction.
The friendlies ended unexpectedly and now the goals are changing. The following matches will be official and the first goal will be the victory. Follow the improvement. The result is more important from the first day of October.
EVERYONE MUST BE READY
It is difficult for a player to reach the ground after a long time. In the other one Koniaris, Charalambopoulos Y Larentzakis they know they will have fewer opportunities than the rest and they must be prepared.
What Larentzakis did with Bayern, Koniaris did not with Alba. A characteristic phase is that at the end of the first half, he did not even go looking for the ball to set up an attack and left it to Papanikolaou
PS: The friendlies are over and the only player who went unnoticed is Jenkins. I hope that with your experience you can find a rhythm and help when needed. Until now, every time he entered, he was not threatening at all.
