00:00Es una situación fantástica para ambos, pero básicamente para el Olympiakos.
00:06Creo que todavía nos recuerdan que todo lo que tuvimos como equipo, con Jorcos también,
00:13en este momento, tuvimos un equipo muy motivado, un equipo con un espíritu de lucha,
00:21y, por supuesto, tuvimos mucho talento.
00:23Este año, de alguna manera, veo algunas mismas cosas.
00:29Tenemos talento, tuvimos la mejor ofensión en la Liga, terminamos primero.
00:36Pero creo que ahora mismo estamos más saludables que cualquier otro año,
00:42y todavía estamos motivados.
00:44Tenemos algunos chicos que pueden liderar, por ejemplo,
00:49lo que tienen que hacer para ganar el tráfico.
00:59Por favor, para el señorita en el frente.
01:04Hola, a todos.
01:05Una pregunta para el señor Barzocca.
01:20¿Por qué crees que hay que hacer para ganar el tráfico de la Liga?
01:26Yo pienso que en toda la vida hay una isorropía.
01:31Cuando crees una compañía, empiezas a buscar las cosas que no son muy buenas en la acción,
01:37sino que son muy buenas en la acción, pero también son muy bien en la acción.
01:40Me acuerdo con ustedes que tenemos una gran gran parte de front line,
01:43pero no puedo ver que tenemos paquetes que son quienes están desejados
02:18Quien tiene el micrófono?
02:19Aspasia Velonaki, Athens Macedonian News Agency.
02:25This is a question for coach Barjokas and Olympiakos' captain.
02:30Olympiakos, coach and Kostas had an amazing roster anyway this summer.
02:35Sasa Vezhenkov, the superstar, Ivan Furnier, Kostas himself, Nikola Milutinov.
02:43But still, you had to sign so many players throughout the year.
02:47I remember Frank Nilikina, 26th of September.
02:50And then Corey Joseph, Monte Morris and Tyrik Jones.
02:55My question is, was it helpful for the team to add four players?
03:02And at the same time, how difficult has it been for a coach and for their teammates
03:07to help all these newcomers adapt to your philosophy?
03:12And how helpful it was to bring you here.
03:15Yeah, it's a good question.
03:17It's about the new era of European basketball.
03:20The season is too long.
03:22I think so far we played 75 games, something like that.
03:27So it looks like it's impossible to have a roster of eight, nine, ten players.
03:34In the past, I remember that six, seven players, they played the game.
03:40And right now it looks like 15 is not enough.
03:43Because you have so many injuries, because the domestic league in every country
03:47is more competitive day by day.
03:52For us, the additions were very important.
03:55But to help us, you know, in order to achieve the final four.
03:59But we have the persons inside our club, you know, in the front office, in the coaching staff
04:08and in our roster, players like Kostas, that they welcome every newcomer
04:13and to make them feel comfortable, to make them feel part of our club.
04:21We are a family and we support each member of our family like that.
04:28We have it in the back of our hands, of our minds.
04:32But the most important is to lift the trophy, no matter where and what the circumstances.
04:38It's an extra motive, if you want, for us to make our fans happy
04:43because they are behind us all the time, wherever we play,
04:47whenever, throughout the regular season and the playoffs
04:50and in the final fours, all those past years.
04:53So, yes, it's an extra motive to give them what they really desire.
04:59Thank you.
05:01Really exciting to be here and to fight for the win.
05:06Thank you.
05:09George?
05:10Hi, everyone.
05:11Congratulations on making it.
05:13George Americanos from Americanos 24.
05:15I have two questions, one for Kostas and one for Jean Montero,
05:18and I would appreciate it if you respond in English, please.
05:21Kostas, I'm wondering what the desire is like.
05:24You won it as a 21-year-old and a 22-year-old,
05:27and now you're a family man, a proven veteran, a legend,
05:29who's going to have his jersey hanging in the rafters at Seth.
05:34Is the desire the same for a proven vet and a star of your caliber
05:40back when you were 21 and 22?
05:42Is the desire the same now?
05:44And for Jean Montero, a lot of players talk,
05:48but you talk the talk and you walk the walk,
05:51and now you have the respect of the fans, the media, and your peers.
05:55Is there any added pressure now that you're a proven superstar in the league?
05:59Thank you.
06:04If I didn't have the desire or the motivation,
06:07I wouldn't be playing basketball.
06:11There's nothing more important, I believe,
06:13when you do professional sports, any sport.
06:16If you don't have the desire and the passion to win
06:18and to be at the highest level you can be.
06:22Of course, I still have the same desire, like it's my first.
06:25Of course, like you said, I'm going towards the end,
06:29so I appreciate more and more these moments
06:32and every given opportunity is not for granted
06:34and I want to take out the best of it.
06:37So this is another chance for me to, how can I say,
06:43to fulfill my hunger, if I can say.
06:46And I still have the same fire inside me.
06:50I feel it.
06:51Of course, the legs are not moving as fast as they used to,
06:54but I'm trying to do my best out.
