Already brilliant at the reception of CSKA Moscow in Villeurbanne on Wednesday, the players of Asvel again impressed on Friday evening. Traveling to Athens, they offered Panathinaikos (84-70) to win a 5th success in 7 Euroleague matches.
Match after match Asvel asserts itself as a serious contender for the Euroleague playoffs. After seven days, the Villeurbanne club are in 6th place in the standings and already have 5 successes. And not the least, since the men of TJ Parker offered the Anadolu Efes Istanbul, the reigning champion, or CSKA Moscow, titled 4 times.
Elie Okobo untenable
Friday evening, Asvel dominated in Athens another great in Europe, Panathinaikos (84-70), a little less fit in recent seasons, but whose name is steeped in history on the European scene. Thanks to a huge Elie Okobo, author of 35 points on the floor of the Greek team. For his first Eruoligue season, the French leader who has returned from three unsuccessful seasons in the United States is already establishing himself as an essential part of TJ Parker’s workforce. Friday night was his fourth game at least 23 points on the European stage.
Asvel was also able to rely on a solid Kostas Antetokounmpo, native of the stage, since the young Greek player returned to his hometown. The summer rookie from Villeurbanne signed his best game in the black and white jersey with 12 points and six rebounds.
