Panathinaikos head coach Ergin Ataman made a statement after the Fenerbahçe Beko match, which ended with a victory.
HERE ARE ATAMAN’S WORDS:
We played great defense after 51-50. The defense was really great. If you defend well, you will win every match. We have one more match. We came here to win a cup, not to play against Fenerbahçe.
We played the semi-final match as it should be played. We defended very well. We made double pressures on Wilbekin. Saras always returns to 5 shorts in such situations. At those moments, we switched to zone defense, something we don’t do often. I congratulate my players, it is not easy to play in the Final Four after 12 years and act so experienced. We came here to be champions, not to play in the final. There were 4-5 thousand Pana fans today, but we will turn this place into OAKA on Sunday.
Thanking the Turkish fans for their support, Ergin Ataman said, “I know that there are many citizens who are happy that a Turkish sportsman has reached the final, I thank them all.” He said his words.
