4th DEATH IN LAST 5 MATCHES
Losing for the 4th time in the last 5 matches, Anadolu Efes had 14 victories after 30 matches and made it difficult in the Play-Off race. ALBA Berlin, who won last week’s away game against Bayern Munich, ended their longing for a 6-game win in the home field with this result. The German team reached 9 victories after 30 matches.
FAILURE AFTER CONFIDENTIAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
Anadolu Efes, which has left its mark on the last 2 seasons in the EuroLeague and achieved historical victories with consecutive championships, has almost collapsed this season. Making an assertive start to the season once again, the navy-whites had a bumpy season and had a hard time getting consistent results. Towards the end of the season, the last champion, who struggled for the Play-Off, fell into a disadvantageous position by losing consecutively.
WORDS LIKE CONFESSION FROM ERGIN ATAMAN
After the Alba Berlin match, Anadolu Efes Head Coach Ergin Ataman made statements such as confession. Saying that they left behind a match like the summary of the season, the experienced coach said that they probably missed the Play-Off chance with the following words:
“Alba Berlin scored 12 three-pointers with a high percentage. After falling back 19 points, we captured the game and we had a chance to win. As in the rest of the season, we had a three-pointer at the last minute and fell behind. It was a game like the summary of our season and 99% We probably missed the playoff chance as well.”
BOMB CLAIM FOR APPOINTMENT
The Greek press made a surprising claim about Ergin Ataman’s future at Anadolu Efes. It was claimed that Panathinaikos, who is looking for a head coach for the next season, is interested in the experienced head coach.
Panathinaikos, who started the season under the management of Dejan Radonjic, parted ways with the Montenegrin coach after the desired results did not come. After Radonjic’s departure, the Greek team entrusted the head coach seat to Christos Serelis until the end of the season.
