He welcomes tonight (21:15, Novasports Prime, live from newsit.gr) Partizan for her 20th race. Panathinaikos is one of Euroleague’s most worn teams, with Erkin Ataman’s total having turned the switch after the heavy defeat from Efes and reminding the team that became European champion last season. CORVERSE Greens are looking for their fifth-run Euroleague win against Partizan in OAKA that will consolidate them in the first trinity of the score. Erkin Ataman, is anxious about whether he will have at his disposal Chief Costas Slouka and Lorenzo Brown. Although as the Turkish technician said, he is optimistic about the presence of both, he was unable to say it with certainty. “They did not participate in practice, but I am optimistic. I’m not sure what it’s gonna be like if it’s 100%. We need them both. We want to be given 15-20 minutes, talking about a must game for us, against a tough team, which is in very good condition,” Ataman had specifically commented on Media Day about the two players. The sure thing is that in one more “fight” Ataman and Panathinaikos fans will expect a lot from the superstar, Kendrick Nan, who is first in Euroleague this season in points with 20.9 p.m. per match, but also in decent three-pointers with 3.2 p.m. per match. CORVERSE Partizan will join Panathinaikos with absences. Belgrade team technician and 13 season coach of “prassine”, Zelimir Obradovic, does not count on Serbian forward, Vanja Marinkovic, as he faces injury. In addition, Mitar Bosniakovic and Aryan Lakic did not travel to Athens. Referees of the Panathinaikos – Partizan race were appointed Miguel Angel Pereth (Spain), Ryne Peradi (Estonia) and Arturas Sookies (Lithuania).
