Ataman: “At this moment, Olympiacos is the best team in Europe, and we are the best team in Greece”

Their opponents will be either Olympiacos or PAOK, with the final scheduled to start at 20:15.

After the semifinal against Promitheas, Ergin Ataman spoke about the game against the Patras team and Olympiacos.

Ergin Ataman’s statement at the press conference:

“We treated the game seriously because Promitheas is a good team. We had a good mindset, passed the ball to our big men, and for three quarters, we played good defense, especially against their guards. Nan missed a lot of shots, but we scored 91 points, which is very important for us.

We played well, distributed the minutes, and we are ready for the final. I hope Mitoglou continues like this, he played very well as a ‘5’ today. I don’t think an extra day of rest will make a difference at this level; teams that play in the EuroLeague have many tough games within a few days. Both teams have strong rosters to cover for any injuries.
