Panathinaikos departs from OAKA by bus in order to face Trikala BC, tomorrow (28/10, 17.00, NovaSports), for the 3rd day of Basket League OPAP. The target is the win as always. If Panathinaikos achieve its goal it will become the first team to reach 600 wins in Basket League OPAP. Greens have so far 599 wins in 730 games. 462 of those wins are for the regular season and 137 in play offs. But these are not the only interesting number heading to the game.
The captain and the records
The numbers that present a certain interest heading to Trikala have to do with the captain of team, who breaks the one record after the other, proving his multidimensional game. Dimitris Diamantidis is just one three pointer away from 500 in Basket League OPAP. He will be just the sixth player to reach this number. He needs 8 rebounds to reach 1723 in the fourth place of the all time list in Basket League OPAP. He needs just 11 assists to be the first player to reach the 1700.
Practice
Panathinaikos practiced in OAKA without Roko Leni Ukic. The Croatian guard will not follow the team to Trikala. Vassilis Charalampopoulos will travel with the team instead.
