The Olypiacos bigest strength is that they have several true leaders on their team - said legendary coach Dan Peterson.
Leaders 3's Performance
Spanuolis 3pts contribution was huge and it come after Olympiacos fought back. He steped up after struggling to score in the first half and hit on different ways, using: ball picks or of the ball picks.
Above on the picture, you can notice degree of opponent pressure, what he faced and how he beat those pressure, at the point off offense.
I can't neglect the fact about Olympiacos exelent communication and teamwork what you can see, on the pictures.
On the diagram dawn, is comparation with Fernandez. If you compare percentages Fernandez made a 50% and Spanuolis 55%. Ironicly, most important of that, Spanuolis made all of them when score was tight.
Most used set
Some conclusion about finale four tournament:
Never give up was Olympiacos moto.They
was able to compose themselves, always believed that they could win,
maintained poise and confidence, never gave up.They was able to come back from behind and took momentum
when the lights came on.
- Defense wins championships
Olympiacos
offense during the
finale four tournamet was impressive.But it has been their fondation for
success.In fact that they give up a lot of points in big game, they
managed and prove that their identity is team
detense.
When it come to the finale stage, the only thing that count is
result not hype.For Olympiacos the big game wasn't the reason to be so excited, they showed this trait throughout entire tournament and as
underdog won EL title, second time in the rów
Player leadership is unavoidable. You can go so
far without having true leaders in your team.We all saw examples from
semifinale and finale, what does it mean lack of leadership, specialy in
deciding moments. What mentioned legendary coach Dań Peterson, the Olypiacos bigest strength is that they have several true leaders on their team, not only one.
Spanuolis and his teammates showed great leadership skills and that's why they are the
best, they motivated each other and lead by example. No
one outworked them.
You can't control
enviroment.Things that you definitely control by yourself is your
effort and attitude.The great example is Olympiacos and their tremedou comming
back after being behind in the final game
Hard fouls at the end of the game are
only acts for being excused for not doing the right things, not realy for players outrage. The fact is that one play
never wins or loses a game.Winning and losing is culmination of every
play that takes place after toss up.
Olympiacos played good basketball during the
regular season up to finale four but not an amazing one.They entered
the playoffs a little bit under the radar. They was willing to do whatever it took to prove people are wrong and show he could make it in the final four.
