“The starting point for Panathinaikos and PAOK is not the same, MacNeese is at an age where he can progress.”

Fotis Takianos spoke about PAOK’s defeat to Panathinaikos in the Super Cup semi-final, but also about Jamani Macneese.

PAOK paid the price for its failure from outside the penalty area (3/23 three-pointers) and lost relatively easily to Panathinaikos in the 2023 Super Cup semi-final. Fotis Takianos spoke of two teams with different starting points and goals, while he also referred to Jamani Maknes, who finished the match with a brace. 19 points and 10 rebounds.

“Since the official matches started today, let us wish good health to all the teams and everyone during the process to reach the goals they have set. This is not easy, it requires mental and spiritual strength, so that we can face the difficulties of the season. Season.

In the first half, our defensive work gave the team speed, but we lacked scoring from the edge of the court. We had 0/6 three-pointers, but we trailed by 5 points. In the second half, we couldn’t stay in the game after 43-46 because our players were full of errors, we went into a protection cycle and slowed down our racket contact, which resulted in a score of 19-2.

Our team did not give up, we tried until the end. We must not ignore our opponent. The starting point between Panathinaikos and PAOK is not the same. We have to evaluate the starting point, which is what their rosters are, what the teams’ budgets are and what their goals are.

We have invested in developing young and experienced players. If we continue to work in the same way and with the same focus, we will be able to improve many aspects in defense and attack.

In these games, the goal is to determine the point at which long-term goals can be achieved. Now we have to see if the players are team players and if they have internalized the system. In my opinion there is no separation depending on whether we are talking about friendly matches, the Super Cup or the League, they all have the same importance and are treated with the same logic.

Dismissing one player’s performance is unfair to everyone. McNeese was acquired because of his competitive qualities and because he is at an age where he can make progress. We have to see how the whole team worked to get the performance they did. “After this match, he should not consider that he has achieved anything, because it is only the first match of the season.” The Greek technician reported in detail.
