Giorgos Papagiannis was the absolute protagonist of Fenerbahce’s escape from the headquarters of Bakhtseşehir, thanks to the unimaginable buzzer beater that he scored and sent the match to overtime. The Greek center spoke after the match and described his thoughts on this crazy shot.
Fenerbahce got the victory at the home of Bahcesehrir and this is largely due to Giorgos Papagiannis, who with an improbable shot from behind the center sent the match to extra time. There, Sarunas Jasikevicius’ team managed to win 110-105 and remain first in the Turkish league.
The Greek center could not help but comment on this basket after the end of the game, without hiding the fact that luck was on his side.
Analytically what he said in Turkey Giorgos Papagiannis: “We can’t say that we played well. Bahçeşehir is a very good team and they always fought until the end. Whenever they fell behind, they always came back. They played aggressively, but in the end we managed to win.
On the incredible shot he scored: “There were a few seconds left and I saw Melih (s.s. Mahmutoglu) looking at me and shouting. There were two players around me. I took the ball and threw it. Luck was on my side. I saw the ball go and it went to the basket.”
