He has begun to find rhythm in and he seems to be enjoying his presence in Piraeus and European basketball. After a long NBA career, Evan Fournier signed to Olympiacos to return to Europe and compete for the first time in Euroleague, with his decision to have surpassed his expectations and practice, according to what he said to the French news agency. Fournier’s statements “I am here to experience an intense emotional adventure. I came here to relive basketball really, and for now this is exactly what I expected. The team is a lot like my mindset. It’s simple, I don’t raise my head and I keep working. I adapt to the team’s needs, the coach’s demands. I’m still myself, simple, dominant and active. Everything works very well. We are gradually gaining a better pace. It’s important to set goals and hit them slowly.” For the game with Panathinaikos: “It was a great and beautiful moment. It was really cool. I’ve come for such games. There’s great love in the world. My arrival has made a noise in Greece. True, the world is extremely enthusiastic when it meets me on the street. In our struggles, we are currently undefeated at home, there is really something very intense on the pitch. Most of my expectations have really passed. I spent twelve years in the NBA, I no longer feel like going back there to live there.” For Fal’s impact on Olympiacos: “His presence made my transition much easier. It was so much chaos in the early days.”
