Olympiacos was defeated by Efes in a very uncertain match in the semifinals of the Euroleague (74:77).
In the last second, Vasilije Micic gave the top three for the victory, and in that way, brought the Turkish team one step closer to defending the trophy.
Olympiacos center, Moustapha Fall, pointed out that he and his teammates did not sleep much after this defeat:
– A very difficult and painful defeat. The long night is behind us. We didn’t sleep much, maybe only 4 hours… We thought about the whole semifinal, the shots we missed, the things we could have done better, – said Fall.”
Now the Greek team is waiting for the fight for bronze against Barcelona (Saturday, 16.00), which was defeated by Real in the “el clasico”:
– It will be very difficult to play that game. We will try to focus and lift, but it will not be easy.
Vasilije Micic knocked down Olympiacos in an unreal way. He used the fact that Vezenkov took over, so he hit a three-pointer over his arm with the sound of a siren. Vezenkov was one of the weakest individuals on the field, but Fol does not blame him for the defeat:
– Everyone has a bad day. I told him it wasn’t his fault. We must not feel guilty. Vezenkov is one of the main reasons why we reached the Final Four.
This is the first F4 tournament for Moustapha Fall, who points out that the defeat was not due to fear or pressure:
– I felt good. There was no fear. We arrived in Belgrade without any pressure.
