Panathinaikos – Marosi 82-71: When Sloukas came out, he found solutions

Panathinaikos started the new season in the Greek League with a victory, after defeating OAKA in the Empty Stadium (due to suspension) with a score of 82-71 against Amarosios, in the first match of the Basketball League, returning to positive results. But she was not satisfied with her performance.

Ergin Ataman was not at all satisfied with what his players did on the pitch, which was also shown in the fact that only Mandzuka and Gay got enough time from his starting players, leaving Balczerowski and Grijonis on the bench, while Kostas Slokas only played 6 minutes and then did not step on the bench. Earth again.

The “clover” leaders were Lefteris Mantzoukas and Lukas Vildosa with 12 points each, while Marios Grigonis scored 11 and Mathias Lesueur 10 points. On the other hand, Shakur Juston shined, despite committing 4 fouls in the second quarter, scoring 21 points. Harris Yiannopoulos added 13 more goals, while Marko Lukovic scored 11 goals.

Bad start for Panathinaikos, shouts ataman

The match started with Grigioni’s very “hot” shots from distance, while for Marosi, Juston scored two goals from many beautiful moves. Panathinaikos led 7-4, but a 5-0 run by the visitors made it 7-9. Which did not satisfy the ataman, who raised votes from the bench to change his district. The score changed several times, with the first half tied at 16-16.

The Greens started the second quarter better by finding solutions with Mendzouka and providing better creation, thus they were able to lead by more than 10 points for the first time with a score of 31-21. Marosi was unable to follow up strongly and committed several mistakes, while “Clover” was hitting enough from the paint and winning shots. Kostas Antetokounmpo made two straight baskets, increasing the lead even more and closing the half at +18 and the light board showed 48-29.

Better picture of the greens, Juston is hungry

In the third half, Panathinaikos entered in an excellent manner, presenting good offensive phases, while Marosi seemed unable to follow the Greens. Which led to the difference exceeding twenty points, with a score of 61-33. The hosts then found their rhythm after the introduction of Gaston, and were able to close the gap somewhat entering the final quarter.

Panathinaikos lost its mind, and underestimated Marosi

The match took on a mainly procedural nature, with Panathinaikos taking advantage of the third period and making a good margin. In the fourth quarter, the Greens relaxed and lost their mind at certain points, such as Lesueur’s unsportsmanlike foul or the ejection of Kosta Antetokounmpo after an altercation with Lukovic. This was considered an opportunity by Marosi, who reduced the gap to reasonable levels, and the final score was 82-71.

Quarters: 16-16, 47-29, 69-45, 82-71
