We know Olympiacos very well, we have played so many times. We also know our strengths. We studied them and we are ready to play against them.

The team is preparing for a demanding series where every detail can decide the championship. Mitoglou highlighted the importance of mental fortitude, especially after Olympiacos's EuroLeague win. "It's clearly hard work, we have the experience for these situations. The finals are something different, it's about energy, will, and who will be better prepared," he said.

The away game is a challenge for us and extra motivation.

Addressing the absence of key players like Sloukas and Rogkavopoulos due to end-of-season fatigue, Mitoglou stressed the team's need to adapt their game plan. "It's unfortunate. I will speak for us, Sloukas and Rogkavopoulos are big absences, but we have to adapt our plan as we have done. It's clearly a matter of will," he explained.

I would like whatever was discussed in practice to stay within the four lines and the locker room.

Mitoglou also touched upon a recent visit from Dimitris Giannakopoulos to practice. "I have to say about this that the management and the team are in daily communication. I would like whatever was discussed in practice to stay within the four lines and the locker room. He certainly demanded some things that were completely understandable and normal. We have a goal that we all set together and we will do everything to achieve it," he added.
