Dorsey: "Sapropoulos did not give me opportunities like I get from Berzokas"

Ex-Maccabi Tel Aviv is flourishing in the impressive Olympiacos uniform, and sends a message to the Yellows coach ahead of next Friday's meeting: "Yannis wanted me to be a one-dimensional player. I respected him, but this year I can show more abilities."

Summary: Cuban Locomotive - LeBloa / Metropolitan (Tomer Ginat) 85:99 (Sport 1)

While Maccabi Tel Aviv counts five consecutive Euroleague victories and is at the top of the factory, there are those who have been there from the beginning of the season until now: Tyler Dorsey. The 25-year-old shooting guard is one of the mainstays of Olympiacos, one of the most impressive teams in Europe so far. With an average of 14 points per game in fantastic percentages (over 42 percent of the three), Dorsey still looks at Maccabi Tel Aviv from above, while Olympiacos does have the same balance as the Yellows (2: 6), but is ranked second in the table.

Yesterday (Saturday) Dorsey was interviewed by "Eurohops" and tried to explain, among other things, the gaps between the ability he has shown so far at Olympiacos and the ability and the less good numbers he showed at Maccabi Tel Aviv.

"The difference is in the coach. Yorgos Bratzokas gives me the opportunity to play as I have been playing until now," said Dorsey, who will host Sapropolos and Maccabi Tel Aviv next Friday.

"At Maccabi Tel Aviv I just did not have the opportunity to look like this, and now I have. I am glad that I am taking advantage of it so far. I just feel I have more opportunities. At Olympiacos I am a key player, and that's a great feeling. Here I have to prove my stability too Play".

According to Dorsey, Yannis Sapropoulos required him to play in a "one-dimensional" way, and he now enjoys greater freedom of action.

"I do not want to be a monotonous player, because that way it is easy to stop me. When I add besides shooting from the three also shots from half distance and penetration, I become a much less predictable player. At Maccabi Tel Aviv the coach used me differently. I can show more abilities. "
