Alec Peters spoke about the position of Olympiakos in the EuroLeague, after the victory of the “red and whites” over Aris.

THAT Olympic between two matches at Belgradethe victorious with They were partisans and what comes with him Red Starpremiered 3 around her Stoiximan Basketball League opposite to Mars. Where he fought but he finally got the winby Alec Peters had a great performance and scored 28 points.

In the statements he made to the ERT camera, the American emphasized that regarding her EuroLeaguethe final position does not matter, as in Olympiakos they believe in themselves a lot.

Peter’s statements

For the victory over Mars: “Obviously we didn’t have the look we wanted. We lost the first quarter and with a team like Aris you can’t play with them. We did a little bit today. We had to play very hard until the end. We showed our quality a couple of times to take the lead and the game.”

Whether partisan fatigue played a role: “It was a huge win for us, a result like this away from home. In such an environment and at this point in the season it was very important for us. We had to put it behind us because it was important to start this round in Greece with a win.”

For the continuation of the EuroLeague: “We can control our destiny. If we keep improving and winning, our position will be in the Top-6. We enter the playoffs with momentum, but we have to focus on the present, on the next game, who has a huge effort. It’s the best phase of the season for a reason. Every game from now on is very high level, everyone has to play above their level. Of course we have to improve what we didn’t do well against Partizan in that previous match.

Even though we won, there are things we didn’t do well. We go back to that atmosphere against a team whose record doesn’t reflect in the standings and how talented their team is and how well they can play. They showed it against Real last week. Of course, it won’t be easy for us, especially the last game. All we can do is give everything and hope for the result.

I don’t think it matters that much where we finish because we believe in ourselves in a series of play offs against someone or if for some reason they are in the play ins. I trust us against anyone at this point. If we play as well as we did in the second round and stay healthy, success will come. It doesn’t matter if there are 5 or 6 of us.

No one is afraid of anyone. It’s just a basketball game. You can watch or pick the game you want, but it’s one team against the other, a series of five games. You can be down and turn it around, get three wins. No matter how much it takes, as we showed last year, if you get them, you’re in the Final Four. You give yourself a chance, and that’s what we ask.”
