Piraeus Olympiacos landed Kaunas Žalgiris in the closing seconds both times this season: 67:68 in Greece and 79:81 in Lithuania.
After the defeat in Kaunas, Olympiacos strategist Georgios Bartzokas He paid tribute to Žalgiris, but also had reproaches to the referees.
“It was a bad loss for us, especially since we played after a long break. We led by some points, we had a lot of good attacking opportunities, but we did our best to lose them. We lost below the basket, “Žalgiris” had quick attacks. The last fumble was entirely our fault. We have experienced players, but “Žalgiris” was better at the end of the game, “said the strategist.
– Have you received any reprimands from the referees after the match?
– Yes, he yelled “Žalgiris” from the bench to attack Sloukas in the last attack, because he had not yet reached the team’s foul limit. They tried to transgress. This is not my job, this is the job of the judges.
– Are these two losses to “Žalgiris” the most disappointing of this season?
– Not quite. In the Euroleague, matches are constantly determined by a single decision. We were unlucky enough to take the lead both times, but we fell in the latter attacks and were really able to do better in both games.
– How did you manage to stop Marius Grigonis?
– It is difficult to enjoy something after a lost match. You have probably seen for yourself that every time behind the Žalgiris barrier we try to change the defense to stop the Žalgiris defense.
