The hosts of the Euroleague preseason tournament defeated the Greeks in the semi-final with the result 81:74.
Panathinaikos did not save 22 points from newcomer N. Nedovičius: the Serbian grabbed 4 rebounds and had 3 assists.
It is common for a 29-year-old defender to fight “Žalgiris”. N. Nedovičius did this when he represented Vilnius “East” in 2012-2013, and later, defending the honor of “Unicaja” from Malaga (Spain) and “Olimpia” from Milan (Italy).
“Now they play with much more freedom,” a representative of the Serbian national team quickly formed on the opinion of basketball shown by the people of Žalgiris. – Shar gave them precise tasks on the field, and this coach (Martin Schiller – Delphi) seems to give more freedom. Since “Žalgiris” has always had talented players, today I especially liked that rapidly developing young man (Rokas Jokubaitis – Delphi) – I would say this is a great season for teams to play ”.
Speaking of his own affairs, N. Nedovičius emphasized that Panathinaika’s match with Žalgiris was a good lesson.
And Greek champion helmsman Georgios Vovor repeated this three times.
In fact, it was time for the athletes of Athens to get back to doing their homework.
The scandalous president Dimitris Giannakopoules has left the club, the symbol in the square Nick Calathes has gone to Barcelona (Spain), the manager Rick Pitino has returned to the United States, the budget has been reduced and there are no opportunities to invite new stars .
Apart from N. Nedovičius, whose market value has been reduced for several years full of injuries and failures in Milan.
“We have a young team with an average age probably one of the lowest in the Euroleague. So we have to play with more energy, defend better, run more, find ‘free’ kicks,” said G. Vovov, who made two times the position of head coach of Panathinaika twice in the past and became a permanent strategist for the first time.
The PAO will meet ALBA in Berlin on Sunday, and Žalgiris will face a clash with the Milan club.
The Italians beat the Germans in the semifinals with a score of 79:57.
The match for third place will take place starting at 4 pm, the final – starting at 7 pm.
Another Euroleague preseason tournament will take place next Tuesday and Wednesday in Valencia, Spain, with host Valencia participating in the USEL in Villerban (France), Olympiacos in Piraeus (Greece) and Bayern in Munich (Germany).
