"Lucca Tournament": Venezia - Οlympiacos 68-71
Olympiacos beat Venezzia 68-71 and won 3rd place for the Lucca tournament
Apart from Sasha Vezenkov who is still in rehab, our coach, David Blatt did not have two more players available (except of course for the internationals Printezis, Papanikolaou, Milutinov and Kuzminskas). One was our captain, Vassilis Spanoulis, who did not play in order to rest and Brandon Paul, who got hurt in his right shoulder at the end of the first game and it was decided that he should not be playing.
The ‘reds’ will be returning to Athens tomorrow (08/09).
