Bartzokas: «We need to protect our rim»
Olympiacos will be hosting Fenerbahce tomorrow (26/03, 20.00 CET), for the 31st round of the Euroleague.
Talking about the game against the Turkish team, the ‘reds’ coach, Giorgos Bartzokas, stressed that: “Fenerbahce is a very talented team and more was added to it with Guduric, plus that Vesely is now back in action, who is a very important factor in their game. They are the team with the best percentages in scoring inside the post, which means we need to protect our rim. They also have good shooters, De Colo, Guduric, Mahmutoglu… It’s very important that they are a team with a lot of plays and we need to focus more on what they are used to doing, individually and as a team”.
About whether he and his players think about the four games left till the end of the season and if they have set any particular goals, he said: “The game against Fenerbahce is very difficult and we need to focus on it. It’s a demanding game, a game of great intensity and we need to focus on that. If we win, we’ll see about what comes next… We don’t want to have our players thinking about four games in a row. If there are even mathematical chances, we need to exhaust them and do the best we can. All the more, this is the nature of our club, we cannot be indifferent”.
