Brose have the game for Olympiacos

The Germans have played great offense in the last seasons and used it for the aggressive Olympiacos' game, which means that this could be a very interesting game too

Olympiacos have been a symbol of great defense for years, and that got them the title of the European champion. But when they allow 99 points, you know something was wrong, and they couldn't get a win no matter what. Milano stuffed them two days ago, hitting 99 points, and that's definitely been one of the toughest blows Olympiacos got this season:

- We have to react after a loss like this one. Euroleague has been especially demanding this season and there can be ups and down in our game and form, but we have to get back up and use the defense to look for the win - the coach Sfairopoulos said.

However, Olympiacos couldn't always do it against Brose in the last seasons. They were beaten by the Germans three times in a row, convincingly on the road this season, but Sfairopoulos doesn't seem too worried about that:

- I don't think that they don't suit us, but they're just a good team. They circulate the ball great offensively, and we have to be ourselves in the defense to disrupt that as much as possible.

Oly usually dominate with their defense, but Brose definitely give them a hard time with their game organization, so that makes them quite dangerous today. There is a theory that the most aggressive defenses are most easily beaten when there's a good ball flow, and that's Brose's secret.

They didn't manage to use that recipe two days ago against Real, even though you can't say it was their offense that made them lose. They hit 89 points, but they didn't manage to beat the Royal team in their last offense. This is just another in a line of tight defeats Brose got this season, and they really should've been placed better.

Nobody in Europe lost so many tight games this season, and it's really a shame that the Germans just didn't have more luck this season.

- It's never easy to play two games in such a short period, but the good thing is that we don't have to think about that unlucky defeat so much - the coach Trinchieri said before this game.

They even had a shot for the win against Real, but it didn't go through. Now they're turning to an even tougher game because an away game against Olympiacos is one of the toughest ones in Europe, even though Brose managed to win here last year.

- It's always hard to play on their floor because you're not just playing 12 great players and a great coach, you're playing against 11 000 eager fans. We'll have to go over our limits to stay in the game till the very end - Trinchieri said.
