The OLY basketball players, who had most of the initiative in their hands, had gained a double-digit lead a couple of times: 52:41 and 58:47, but in the fourth quarter they were trapped in the Žalgiriai defense swamp, did not win even 5 minutes and finally fell face to face on the ground.
The hero of the match was Rokas Jokubaitis, 19, younger than rival star Vassilis Spanoulis, who scored both a double point on one foul and all three penalties, and racked up a total of 12 points, 15 utility points and improved almost half of his personal short. career records in the Euroleague.
It is true that after the match ended unexpectedly, the Greek press is not praising the young Žalgiris as much as he is beating his own people and calling his game in the last quarter just desperate.
Olympiakos controlled the situation for 34 minutes, but after losing the fourth quarter at 9:21, they defeated young R. Jokubaitis, who had received two cold-blooded fines. In the remaining 3.5 seconds, OLY couldn’t even make a pitch, ”says esake.gr.
Marius Grigonis, Rokas Jokubaitis in the match with “Olympiakos”
“You can’t expect to win when you score just 9 points in the most important half. And I can’t blame anything if in the last 3.5 seconds. You don’t even try to attack the basket. These are two unwritten basketball rules that Olympiakos fell into. their sand after breaking them ”, states www.sport24.gr.
“The team is stuck somewhere between the Spanoul and Slouk era, but this time we didn’t see the real Spanoul or the real Slouk. It seemed like Olympiacos were still playing preseason games, like in September. It was lost to the team of the Very average Euroleague and all the preseason optimism flew with the wind in no time ”, Gazzetta.gr evaluated the match.
Another portal responds even more strongly to the spectacle in red and white.
Olympiakos had a victory in his pocket, but he committed suicide. OLY played with fire until it burned in front of Žalgiris. R. Jokubaitis issued two fines and wrote his signature in a great sensation. In the last attack, the ball fell into the hands of Kostas Sloukas, but it remained in them until the final siren. George Bartzok’s students lacked a cool mind, “said onsports.gr.
The Olympiac manager also expressed resentment after the duel.
“It is a painful loss in the first game of the new season. We played very badly in the fourth quarter: we lost all 8 triples and only hit 3 shots out of 18. We also gave our opponents several second chances and confidence in it. weather.
Playing at this level with an 11-point advantage, we must finish the game wisely, and we did not do it tonight. This is only the beginning of the season and we must learn from this failure, ”said G. Bartzokas.
Next Friday, OLY will have a Greek derby with Panathinaikos in Athens, and Žalgiris will have a date with the Moscow region Chimki.
