Giannoulis Larentzakis The exclusion from Efes stressed the “red and whites” a lot, however he and his teammates will give everything for the conquest of the title in the Greek championship.
Details of what he wrote on his blog at ESAKE:
“Good evening!
we have enough time to say the least because of the final four and I could not start from anything other than what we experienced shockingly in Belgrade!
First of all, an experience that I will never forget in my life! Our qualification to the Final Four was in itself a great success, but when you get there it is not enough to participate alone. And we proved it …
We fought hard in the semifinal against Efes and lost on the exhale from a big shot by Misic. The way we were excluded hurt us and it makes sense. We were just one shot away from the final …
Nevertheless, the presence of our 12,000 fans and the way they treated us after the defeat, I dare say that eased a little this pain.
We definitely wanted something more, not only for us, but also for our shocking fans! But the recognition of our effort and the love of the people, made everything look better!
We have no words to thank them for making this unique journey. The only thing we can promise them is that we will give everything to win the championship and that we will work hard, so that Olympiacos remains in the elite of European basketball.
I have said it many times in the pastit turned out and I will continue to say it … With the people by our side we can do great things.
The Final Four, however, is over and we as professionals have to put our emotions aside and focus on our big goal.
Tomorrow we will face Peristeri, a team that had ups and downs in its performance during the regular season, however, remains quite dangerous. We must, therefore, enter the game 100% focused, follow the plan of the coaches and with the help of our fans take the first step “.
