Olympiacos: Superstar Fournier and Unbeatable Milutinov

He is unstoppable in and defeated Baskonia by 92–69 in the 11th race, reaching the six consecutive victories in the Euroleague, again having as protagonist Evan Fournier and Nikola Milutinov. With Sasha Vezenkov apart from injury, Fournier and Milutinov took the… bagetta on George Bartzokas’ team and Olympiacos had no difficulty in continuing his Euroleague streak, with an imposing appearance against Basconia. The French superstar finished the match with 15 points, 9 rebounds and 3 steals, while the Serbian center had 14 points and 7 rebounds, of which four offensives. Bartzokas’ “Player Fournier” Olympiacos is the most fashioned team in Euroleague and this is because Evan Fournier has found rhythm and makes a difference to George Bartzokas’ team. The line of the Piraeus Greek technician himself after the game, said everything about the “hot” Frenchman. “He is a player, what else can I say?” Olympiacos coach said, highlighting what Fournier does in the last games for his team. After the first games he was looking for his footprints, on his return to Europe from the NBA, the French superstar has raised rhythms and starting with the derby with Panathinaikos, took the role of… driver to Olympiacos, being the ultimate protagonist in the 6-0 that the Piraeus team is running in Euroleague. Contras in Baskonia even touched the double double, being impressive in both creation with 9 assists and defense, where he made a personal record with the three steals. The “thoracic” Milutinov on the racquet And if Fournier is the leader that Olympiacos was looking for, Nikola Milutinov is the old good Milutinov that the Piriaots were waiting for. The Serb center has been suffering from injuries in recent years, but in his return to action this year, he seems better than ever. His statistics against Baskonia did not impress, but once again he was decisive for his team’s victory. Milutinov was invincible inside the racket and with his offensive rebounds allowed Olympiacos to find rhythm and kill every attempt to counterattack by the Basques. The Serbian tall man is impressive in the last games and MVP in a series of games for Bartzokas’ team, having “displaced” in a second role, even the amazing last year Mustafa Fal. With such Forynier and Milutinov however, Olympiacos is not afraid of Vezenkov’s absence either.
