That was all it took to unleash the beast. Kostas Sloukas took out his frustrations in style on Thursday to guide Panathinaikos to Game 2 victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Euroleague Basketball playoffs<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If this is how Kostas Sloukas responds to one mistake, imagine what he\u2019d do after an actually bad performance. Sloukas was imperious for Panathinaikos as they levelled their Euroleague playoff series with Maccabi Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n<h4>Total motivation<\/h4>\n<p>It took literally one mistake to turn what already looked like Playoff Sloukas into another beast entirely. At the end of Game 1, a game where he\u2019d recorded 12 points, 13 assists, and 2 steals, Sloukas turned the ball over. It was his lone turnover on the night. That mistake cost Panathinaikos its last chance to save the match-up.<\/p>\n<p>The word last there is important. The Greens had lots of chances to both not throw away their big lead and come back once they did. Both statistically and by the eyeball test, Kostas Sloukas was fantastic in that game.<\/p>\n<p>No matter. He came into Game 2 with an anger that is rarely seen in him. The fire took a few minutes to truly take hold. Once it did, everything else that happened in the Oaka felt like it would be academic. In the Euroleague playoffs, he finds another level.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In Post Ad by Rob --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8330822894995250\" data-ad-slot=\"1076584095\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Taking charge\u2026<\/h4>\n<p>Things didn\u2019t go according to plan for Panathinaikos at the start of the encounter. With Maccabi Tel Aviv holding a 28-20 lead, the second quarter was time for <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/OCd-QEyCcAo?si=8Yg26kkJ3JvDVbiy\" rel=\"noopener\" >Daddy to go work<\/a>. Sloukas unloaded. His 13 point barrage felt like one man taking out all of his fury on the very sport of basketball. How dare basketball fail him, even once, in Game 1. This was an outrage that Sloukas simply would not let stand. Panathinaikos needed something offensively <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/bjqsWtO5Xjg?si=rrbmJLofKNhKTPU1&#038;t=60\" rel=\"noopener\" >and he was the cavalry<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s rare to see this side of Sloukas on the court. That he can take over games is nothing new. Nor are big moments late in an encounter. This was an emotional release. That he had erred from the narrative just once was too much. A wrong was being righted. By the end of the half, it felt like the game was done.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>BallinEurope is ramping up its YouTube game this season. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/ballineurope\" rel=\"noopener\" >Subscribe to our channel now<\/a> for player exclusives, analysis videos, and much more.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>&#8230;and coming to the rescue<\/h4>\n<p>Panathinaikos couldn\u2019t make life easy for themselves. That would be sensible and this is not something they have done this Euroleague Basketball season. No, of course not, they had to find a way to get into trouble again.<\/p>\n<p>A lead that was as great as 16 points at one stage and 11 points entering the fourth quarter was shaved to a single possession. Sloukas stepped up once more to end the debate for the night. His final line of 29 points on 75% shooting with 4 assists and 3 rebounds told the real story. That he had double the turnovers, that is to say 2, from the prior night was an afterthought. He came into the Oaka on Thursday to take over and remind Maccabi Tel Aviv that you don\u2019t mess with his narrative.<\/p>\n<p>This was basically a public yet really productive therapy session for Sloukas. He took charge of his fate and, with it, put Panathinaikos right back in this series. If it works, it works. That\u2019s what mattered.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>BallinEurope has a book, a real life actual book called I Like it Loud, and you can buy it on Amazon now.

Ergin Ataman has been clear, he expects his side to be in the Euroleague Basketball Final Four. To do that, they must win at least one of two games in odd surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>There won\u2019t be any fans in the Aleksandar Nikolic Hall. Riding a wave of emotion from fans won\u2019t be any option here. It\u2019s an environment that Maccabi Tel Aviv have grown used to over the course of the season. Adapting will be vital for the Greens in these games.<\/p>\n<p>If there\u2019s one man you could ask to get his side in that frame of mind right now, it\u2019s Kostas Sloukas. He took ownership of the failure on Tuesday when it had many fathers. Now, he will demand everyone on the Panathinaikos roster steps up to take at least one victory (although preferably two) next week.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ballineurope.com\/kostas-sloukas-was-the-definition-of-must-win-mentality-for-panathinaikos-8413\/\">Kostas Sloukas was the definition of must-win mentality for Panathinaikos<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ballineurope.com\/\">BallinEurope<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation Advertisements:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><br>(1) IT Teacher IT Freelance<br> <\/p>\r\n<a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITTeacherITFreelance-Website.png alt=IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\/><\/a><p><a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/findteacher>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427! <\/a><br>\r\n\r\n\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a -\u6559\u80b2 -IT \u96fb\u8166\u73ed\u201d ( IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 ) \u63d0\u4f9b\u4e00\u500b\u65b9\u4fbf\u7684\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a \u6559\u80b2\u5e73\u53f0, \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u4fe1\u606f\u6280\u672f, \u96fb\u8166 \u8001\u5e2b, IT freelance \u548c programming expert. \u8b93\u5927\u5bb6\u65b9\u4fbf\u5730\u5c31\u80fd\u627e\u5230\u5408\u9069\u7684\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2, \u96fb\u8166\u73ed, \u5bb6\u6559, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b.  <br>\r\n\r\nWe are a education and information platform which you can find a IT private tutorial teacher or freelance. <br>\r\n\r\nAlso we provide different information about information technology, Computer, programming, mobile, Android, apple, game, movie, anime, animation\u2026 \r\n<\/p>\n<p><br>(2) ITSec<br> <\/p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITSec-Main-Promotion-Image.png alt= https:\/\/itsec.vip\/\r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers.  \r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training.\/><\/a> \r\n<br><br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip>www.ITSec.vip<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/sraa.com.hk>www.Sraa.com.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.hk>www.ITSec.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/penetrationtest.hk>www.Penetrationtest.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itseceu.uk>www.ITSeceu.uk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers. <br><br>\r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training. \r\n<br><br>Contact us right away. <br><br>Email (Prefer using email to contact us): <br>SalesExecutive@ITSec.vip<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"667\" height=\"667\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ballineurope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Sloukas-for-Game-23-667x667.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-image size-post-image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Kostas Sloukas unleashed hell for Panathinaikos as they saw off Maccabi Tel Aviv in Game 2 of the Euroleague playoffs.\"><\/div>\n<p>One mistake.
