Olympiacos Basketball Club Prepares for Final Four in Abu Dhabi

Last Friday, Olympiacos defeated Panathinaikos Athens 76-74 in the 29th round, which allowed the team to achieve a result of 22 wins and 7 losses, maintaining the lead in the Euroleague standings. This opens the door to the playoffs for them, where they will fight for the honorable trophy of the Final Four, which will be held this year in the capital of the UAE. It is worth noting that Olympiacos makes it to the playoffs for the 16th time since the introduction of the current format in the 2004/05 season.

The start of this season was not easy for the team from Piraeus: they had to adapt to the return of Sasha Vyaznikov after his year in the NBA and integrate rookie Evan Fournier into the lineup at the power forward position. After the first five games, in which they won two and lost three, many doubted their success. However, Olympiacos managed to overcome the difficulties and won six games in a row, improving their record to 8-3. This winning streak began with impressive victories over strong opponents such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Panathinaikos again. Despite the failures in the matches from matches 12 to 15, where they lost three out of four games, the team managed to climb to first place with a record of 16-6 thanks to seven wins in a row.

Olympiacos are currently riding a six-game winning streak, having responded to the unexpected defeat to Fenerbahce with victories over Paris Basketball and Barcelona on the road, and also thrashed Partizan Mozart Bet and Panathinaikos at home. Since the 2004/05 season, the team from Piraeus has participated in 15 playoff series, finishing them with a result of 9 losses and 6 victories. It is noteworthy that last year Olympiacos reached the Final Four three times in a row for the first time in its history, and now Georgios Bartzokas's team is determined to repeat this success in the current season.
