Panathinaikos – Efes: What does the regulation say about the last phase at OAKA (vid, pic)
Panathinaikos was defeated by Efes at OAKA in Game 2 of the series 79-76 and lost the home advantage, thanks to the amazing Crescent Crescent Larkin in the finale. The Greens failed to bring the match straight to the final phase with the three -point Centric Nan, who received a plug from Vensan Poarier.
The three -point phase of the Panathinaikos American star has brought several reactions to whether or not there was a violation, but the clear regulation in line with the fact that Nan himself, but Ergkin Ataman, later did not talk at the press conference, they said.
Specifically, Centic Nan took the three -point lead, Poirier stopped him and as one can see from the video, the French center of Efes first finds the ball and alters the effort of the clover guard.
Poarier’s pure alteration
What does the regulation say
The EuroLeague regulation is clear in such phases and says that if the defender first finds the ball and alter the attacker’s effort and then contacts his opponent then there is no infringement.
The reason Nan did not even complain about this phase is this, since he felt the alteration of Poirier as normal, and Ataman also talked about two « clean » games and how the series is right at 1-1. That is why he did not deal with the arbitration at all, but exclusively with the racing track and the mistakes of his players in defense and of course the quality of Efes with Larkin and Dosier.
Ataman: « Efes deserved to win, the arbitrations in the first two matches »
« For three minutes we played perfect basketball. We checked the game. In the fourth quarter we made mistakes. Apart from the attack on the defense we failed to stop them. They didn’t give us free shoots, they played good defense. In the last quarter we did not play good defense in Larkin. Efes was worth gaining for the effort and experience they showed in the parquet in the last quarter. As we celebrated the win in Game 1, we have to learn from the defeats, the series is 1-1. Everything will be more difficult now of course. We will try to win in Constantinople to take the lead again. «
For the matches in Istanbul: « It will be difficult to crush. The games here were difficult, with balance in both teams. We had no home advantage in the first two games. It was very good arbitrations on both sides, sometimes they made mistakes, but they were pure arbitrations, we will wait for the same in Constantinople. Now it’s 1-1, we’ll try to win there. «
If he is sure that Panathinaikos will go to Final Four, like last year: « Everything will be judged by the hands of our players. »
For Oman: « In the last quarter, the medical staff told me that Pedi was injured, had cramps and could not play. We had a problem in attacking the last quarter and Nan is a player who can find a score. In the last quarter he had 0 assists. They were playing very hard defense on him. Their tall scores 27 points. «
