Tonight (21.30) he is waiting for a game without tomorrow. Olympic on the way to Kaunas and Euroleague Final Four (19-21.5).

This is the final… the final, with the enemy Fenerbahce Dimitris Itoudis, Nick Calathes and Tyler Dorsey in a close series in which the two gladiators drew 2–2.

The weapons of Olympiacos are what have been winning all year, the advantage of playing in this final in a “hot” and crowded CHEF. With 9 of the 15 playoff games won by the away team and the last SEF match was won by Fenerbahce, how strong that advantage can be is debatable. However, in the fifth game of the Euroleague playoffs, the venue gives the home team a big advantage and turns out to be an impregnable castle.

Since the tone has increased a lot, Olympiacos has installed a protective safety net that will close the space around the baskets and their perimeter, which is usually only the case in a derby with Panathinaikos.

Papanicolaou, who suffers from tonsillitis, took part in the last training session, feels better and will not miss an important meeting. Wilbekin and Belitsa followed Fenerbahçe and were not sure they would play, and an injured Booker was ruled out.

Judges were Juan Carlos Garcia (Spain), Tomislav Hordov (Croatia) and Milan Nedovic (Slovenia). Mike Brown, Sacramento Kings head coach, will also be in the SEF stands to see Sasha Vezenkov!

“The playoffs are a special series everywhere. The pressure is huge, we are waiting for a tough game. We fought for the advantage all year and we have the opportunity to get what we think we deserve at home in front of the whole world.

We had 85,000 applications for the game! The team aroused great interest and we will do our best to win,” said Giorgos Bartzokas, optimistic about the final result!
