Olympiakos defeated Maccabi Tel Aviv 90-73 at SEF for the 11th Euroleague game.

Despite the pressure of consecutive defeats, and especially with the way it came from Efes two 24 hours ago, but also the pressure of the “must” to keep its seat after the six consecutive victories, the whole of George Bartzokas not just did not fold. , but proven with the. hello from the race and from the first minutes we dream ten minutes that it has the potential to reverse the climate and get back on track.

From the start of the match, Olympiakos returned “with a knife in their teeth” and the 35-8 at the end of the first 10 minutes left no room for discussion.

Giorgos Bartzokas’s players arrived determined to put a lot of pressure on Scotty Wilbekin in the ball and succeeded as they led to poor choices from the Maccabi players at the same time Sasha Vezenkov was “connected” to the basket.

The power striker of the “reds and whites” with the help of Tyler Dorsey opened the scoring giving the air of 27 points in the first period for the Greek team. Giannis Sfeiropoulos’ Maccabi tried to reverse the data in the second period, but the under 16-18 was a drop in the ocean.

Olympiacos had 15 assists and just 2 errors, while shooting with 42.9% in three points (6/15) and 68.8% in two points (11/16). At the same time, the Israelis may have had two more rebounds (21 against 19 from Olympiakos), but they only had 6 assists for 8 fouls! At the same time, they were hopelessly imprecise from 6.75 (they had 2/15 at three points, or 13.3%!) And 36% at two points with 9/25.

This somehow explains the 51-26 at the end of the first half with Scotty Wilbekin, the “heavy artillery” of Giannis Sfeiropoulos’ team absent with 0/5 shots inside the child!

In the replay, Maccabi tried to increase the pressure on the defense, he succeeded, but he was ineffective in attack with the consequence that the difference is maintained at large levels (60-38 in 25 ‘with a three- Dorsey points). Scotty Wilbekin tried to find space to “perform” but was completely neutralized by George Bartzokas guards who set their pace with Wokap, Dorsey and Slouka.

In contrast, for Giannis Sfeiropoulos’ side, who have actually scored six wins in their last seven games in the tournament, only Sorkin has been saved with 10 points and 8 rebounds.
