With time running out and the schedule placing tremendous pressure on the team, there are only a few things PAOK can realistically do in preparation for the second game against Panathinaikos AKTOR (Saturday, May 30, at 14:50).
The team returned to Thessaloniki shortly after midnight on Thursday, had some time to rest, and then resumed practice, combining the necessary recovery work with technical adjustments reviewed by Pantelis Boutskos and his coaching staff together with the players.
Our team will take the floor for the second semifinal game of the Stoiximan GBL Playoffs less than 48 hours after the opening game of the series. In this difficult challenge, PAOK will also need the support of its fans.
PAOK head coach Pantelis Boutskos, speaking about tomorrow's game against Panathinaikos AKTOR, emphasized:
"The Stoiximan GBL semifinal series against Panathinaikos now comes to our home court, with a very demanding back-to-back game, both physically and mentally. Against a team of such high quality, we must approach the game with great motivation and, with the boost provided by our fans, fight for the victory that will send the series to a decisive third game at the T-Center."
