Defense and concentration problems at Panathinaikos
The author evaluated Panathinaikos's situation in recent matches after the team lost to Aris in Paris. It was noted that the balance of the team was disrupted with the return of Sloukas and Nunn, and that the defense had lost the impact it had at the start of the season.
Panathinaikos appears to be struggling in its recent matches. According to the author, there is a gap between the picture at the start of the season and the current one. Changes in the squad and the gradual return of injured players are considered a natural part of this process.
The author draws attention to the defense. At the start of the season, the defense was effective and could stop many of the opponents' offensive weapons. The same consistency is not seen in recent matches. The author says it is normal to accept defeat, but mistakes should not be ignored.
The return of Sloukas and Kendrick Nunn to the squad is said to have disrupted the team's previous balance. Obradoviç needs to rebuild his five-player combinations and find balance on both offense and defense. On offense, Nunn and Francisco are not playing well together. The author describes periods when one is on the court and the other is ineffective.
According to the author, a significant part of the mistakes stems from a lack of concentration. Along with passes into open space, a defensive lapse in the last period is also highlighted. In addition, a play linked to a referee's decision, in which the ball went to the opponent and Aris scored after an offensive rebound, is presented as a mistake that needs attention.
