“We should get some rest and we are thinking about Olympiacos right now”.
The record-breaking game between Real Madrid and Maccabi had just finished, it was the highest non-overtime scoring game ever with 229 points, but Facundo Campazzo had already moved on.
A little bit earlier, Olympiacos had beaten Baskonia 102-101 after overtime and the two teams that faced each other in last season’s semifinal are meeting again in Madrid.
Olympiacos is leading the standings with a 15-6 record, while Real Madrid at 12-9 is on the rise and still needs to get a good run to make it to playoffs.
The Spanish powerhouse wants to send a message and Campazzo didn’t hesitate to compliment their Greek opponents: “Right now they are the best team in Europe, we have to be 100% focused physically and mentally, so it’s going to be a fan game”.
Real Madrid is already focused on Thursday, as Mario Hezonja said with one word. Asked by EuroLeague TV when the team will start thinking about Olympiacos, the Croatian forward was short and to the point: “Now”.
