Her first “devil week” this year Euroleague makes up for Olympic as well as Panathinaikos first-class “crash test” of their tournament ambitions.

The Red-Whites, already counting “two for two” against Barcelona and Zalgiris, are going to Spain for matches with Real Madrid (tomorrow, 21.45) and Basque Country (Friday, 21.30), and Giorgos Bartzokas considers – and not without reason – that these two matches will demonstrate the dynamics of his team. Basque Country also started with an absolute in the tournament, and Real Madrid, despite the fact that they are still trying to get back on their feet due to the absence of Pablo Lasso on their bench, do not stop having stars capable of their day in their squad to defeat someone. Kostas Papanicolaou will not be in the Piraeus team, which is relegated today, as he has not overcome discomfort in his right knee.

The Greens, who are slowly showing some of their potential, are flying to Berlin today, where tomorrow (21.00) they will play Alba, which comes from victories over Partizan and Milan. Dejan Radonich will have Andrew Andrews, who followed part of yesterday’s workout. On the other hand, Nate Walters is missing this match and will be racing to be ready for Friday’s home game against Monaco (21:00).
