Serelis: A rant to “push” arbitration after OAKA!

Analytically:

“Before I start, let me say goodbye to Sasha. I hope it’s not too dangerous, he’s healthy and he’s back quickly. And that’s the most important thing. For the match, today we really wanted to win. That was clear from start to finish. We had a clear mind at the beginning, Which gave us an extra boost in defence, which has been good since game one anyway.Unfortunately in the middle of the second half Olympiacos made some adjustments, blocked us some passes, wrecked our minds and calmed down.We conceded some baskets on the open court.The match became a derby back there.

We really wanted to win tonight. We were in the mood, and we entered the second part in the same way. Maybe Olympiacos missed during the match, I think we lost our minds. Because in addition to the will, the “must have” entered the minds of the players. As long as we couldn’t escape, we were nervous. In the end, take over. in one take. Today we were the ones who put a big shot at the end in defence, even though we wanted to attack Peters, not Vale. However, the shot got in. In the previous three games, I think we deserved to win. We’ve got the day and we’re continuing our efforts,” later adding:

“Since the first game in SEF we’ve said it’s important for everything to be shot again. And we had there two open shots, and we didn’t shoot them. Today we’re putting in a more difficult one. I think we’re past the point of whether we can win or not. And before this match, “We offered it. What remains for us now is to improve our attacking function. It is clear that against changes in Olympiacos we are not consistent in the minutes we play. If we improve it, we will have a better chance of achieving more wins.”

When asked about Panathinaikos’ stability, he replied: “I don’t think Panathinaikos, when they start well, continue like this. On the contrary, we have unfortunately shown that we are not consistent. We see it in all games. We also saw it at SEF on Sunday.”

On arbitration and how it may affect the series:
“The referee in basketball plays a very big role, because the referees have to make 40, 50, 60 decisions, in order to become a factor of the match. I have no intention of talking about refereeing, wherever I am. If the referees whistle according to the same criteria, then everything is the same Fine. If not, the conversation will open. But I won’t talk about arbitration, I haven’t and never will.”
