Bartzokas: «We restored the order in the 3rd quarter»

Olympiacos got an easy win over Lavrio, however, Giorgos Bartzokas has some complaints to share about his players' performance in the first half. 

"Congratulations to Lavrio for a very good performance, especially in the first half. They executed very well, taking advantage of the fact that our defense was barely there at the time. We restored the order in the 3rd quarter, so as to win the game and rest some players. We have to realize that are closing in to the end of the regular season of the Greek League. Our opponents have nothing to lose and we approach these games as chores. Of course, it's difficult to focus with less than 48 hours following the game against Virtus and only a few days before the Thursday game with Panathinaikos. I wish the best for Lavrio".  

Asked about the status of the injured players, he replied: "They have been progressing. The procedure is known to everyone. Walkup has a second level sprain; he has been having treatment twice to thrice a day and has improved significantly. We hope he will practice Tuesday and Wednesday so that he can play against Panathinaikos. Larentzakis is also doing better, although he hasn't practiced with the team up to now".
