After the break in the first match of OAKA against Panathinaikos, Lorenzo Brown reveals to an Israeli midfielder what describes Maccabi’s plan for the second match of the series…
She started her adventures in Athens in the best possible way Maccabi Tel Avivwho defeated him Panathinaikostook away his home advantage, spoiled his mood and according to him Lorenzo Brownthe “greens” still haven’t seen… anything!
The American guard of the team from the Middle East, spoke to Israel Hayom and even revealed what their plan is for the sequel, which comes Thursday night (4/25) with Game 2 of their quarterfinals Euroleague.
“The second game will be completely different from the first and we will have to go into the match with the same mentality. Our self-confidence is at a high level, we are a group of fighters, we work very hard and we always know that in the moment of truth one can rely on the other”he said for the beginning and what he intends to do together with his teammates is “to leave Athens with 2-0. This is our plan and I believe we can succeed”.
This time he himself will have more obligations and responsibilities, since he will not be by his side Wade Baldwinwho is injured and ultimately won’t compete this time.
Maccabi Tel Aviv for Game 3 against Panathinaikos will again be moved to “Aleksandar Nikolić Hall” instead of “Stark Arena” and will have more fans than the 300 they had the right to host until now.
That doesn’t change the way Brown thinks and thinks “We are good, but we are not satisfied only with what we achieved in the first game. There are still many matches left in the series and we know that Panathinaikos will react and adapt to the demands. Whichever team is better prepared in the Playoffs will win. The second game will be much more difficult and we must not forget that last year we started with a win against Monaco, but lost the series in the end.”
He also concluded that “Our team has been through a lot in the current season and they have prepared us for the difficult times like those coming in the Playoffs. Had it not been for the war in Israel, I am sure we would have finished in the top three of the regular season. Everyone in the Euroleague knows this and personally I think that coach Oded Katas did a great job and deserves the title of coach of the year. She has managed to bring out the best in the team and constantly show her character in very difficult circumstances.”
