“They are a very good team and they had a great regular season.”And Vezenkov said about the franchise who owns the rights to it in the NBA.
Vizhenkov witnessed how the NBA team made it back to the playoffs after 17 years, but unfortunately they faced the defending champions in the first round. On the other hand, in the qualifiers they did their best, but they were up against a star like Steph Curry.
The competition in the NBA is really tough, there are a lot of superstars and in the end only one gets the rings. However, the Kings had a great season.
Now that the Bulgarian superstar is about to face the Euroleague semi-finals, he has been asked his thoughts on Giannis Antetokounmo’s views on the failure.
“I agree with Giannis, you can say there is no failure in sport if you try,” he said. “However, on the other hand, failure is not part of our vision as a team. So I would say we have already achieved a lot of small goals this season, our season is already a success, but now that we are in the Final Four, we want a bigger success.”.
Coach Mike Brown considers signing Vysenkoff a priority but insists patience is needed
Mike Brown, coach of Sacramento, witnessed the last match that Olympiacos played in Greece against Turkish Fenerbahce.
“I like what I see,” the NBA Coach of the Year said of Vizhenkov last week, “He makes room for his teammates, he cuts well, he shoots well from three, he has toughness, he fights for the rebounds.”
“The way he shoots from three-point range is something we like, he handles space very well, he’s quick, he’s going to be an effective player in the NBA at a high level, especially with the toughness that he shows,” Brown said of his potential. “He’s fearless and I love that.”
“We want him to finish the season first, and then we’ll talk to him. We’re very excited about him, we did the trade for the rights to him in the summer. It’s important that a lot of the squad come to see him in person, and there’s also the Kings CEO here and European scout,” Brown explained.
“For us, it’s a priority, but we’ll see at the end of the season.”
Now, the Bulgarian team is now focused on the next stage of the Euroleague in Kaunas, which will be held from May 19 to May 21. The Reds are preparing to take on Monaco with Mike James in the first semi-final on Friday (5pm CEST).
