Bartzokas: When you have a really good team, you don’t depend on anybody

Olympiacos is now at 10 wins in Euroleague, along with Real Madrid and Fenerbahce.

Coach Bartzokas rightly ecstatic after Olympiacos’ emphatic win in the Greek Euroleague derby against Panathinaikos.



"When you have a really good team, you don’t depend on anybody, even if it’s a fantastic player like Sasha Vezenkov. We depend on our team effort, how we play together, how we stick together, how we share the ball, how we play one for the other. I’m really happy about this performance, even if it was just a win on the road in the EuroLeague. But against Panathinaikos, it’s always something more.


"It was a very good night for us. Winning over here [at OAKA Altion] is always important, more than just a win. We were dedicated to our game plan. We played team basketball: giving 28 assists compared to 10 from Panathinaikos shows the way that we tried to play against a team that has offensive talent. We controlled the pace of the game, sharing the ball and finding open shots, and even though our three-point shooting percentage wasn’t really high in the first half, we were winning by 17. And later when we found some open looks for threes, we ended the game really early. Congratulations to the players, and Happy New Year to everybody, especially Olympiacos fans."
