Thomas Walkup’s much-discussed victorious raid by Žalgiris was hailed as the most beautiful episode of the Euroleague week.
It was Žalgiris who played the intercepted ball from the hands of the experienced Greek Kostas Sloukas and crossed more than half the field and a difficult colon without losing his balance and led to a dramatic victory for the hosts 81:79.
“It just came to my attention then. Probably not just on defense, but also in the career of the basketball player in general. For the first time, I hit the winning shot in the last second. More importantly, we won against a competing team. directly with us at the tournament table, ”the 28-year-old said after the match.
The OLY representatives were far from impressed: Christos Bafes, the sporting director of the Piraeus team, did not agree with the result of the match in Kaunas, and even officially turned to the Euroleague.
In his statement, he was outraged that the judges had not recorded Th. Walkup fouling K. Sloukas and demanded an official Euroleague position on the matter.
Guest strategist Georgios Bartzokas also highlighted a possible mistake by the referees at the press conference.
However, all of Olympiaca’s claims will likely stand up to only strong dissatisfaction.
We remind you that the heroically torn victory elevated “Žalgiris” (9/12) to sixth place in the tournament table.
