The dress rehearsal of two “centuries” of Greek basketball ended on a positive note, shortly before the official start of the season, which will most likely bring them together on Sunday in the final super bowl on Rhodes.

Both about Olympic as well as Panathinaikos they have shown strengths and weaknesses on the court, but both have shown they are on the right track, with their overall image promising a more competitive face in domestic competition and the Euroleague.

The Red-Whites took first place in the Cypriot tournament with a convincing 94-55 victory over Red Star and showed that they are very united as a team despite the absence of Kostas Sloukas.

The international ace has overcome discomfort due to bone swelling in his left knee and will be available to compete in the Super Bowl Final Four in Rhodes.

Panathinaikos showed a very “fresh” team in the semi-final Tournament “Pavlos Giannakopoulos” against Euroleague winner Anatol Efes, but in the final against Armani he proved to be two-faced, with a very good image in the first half and many creative problems in the second half.

It makes sense because it’s a brand new team with a new coach, plus two players (Grigonis, Ponitka) who haven’t competed at all and will give it another boost once they find a rhythm and get playing time. All indications are that both will compete in the Super Bowl.
