Pınar Karşıyaka, who beat Anadolu Efes 79-73 at home on Friday evening in the quarter-finals of the Basketball Super League Play-Off, brought the situation to 1-1. He reacted to the postponement due to the Final Four matches he was going to play with his goal.
While the Basketball Federation postponed the last game of the Play-Off series, which should be played in Istanbul this evening, upon the request of Anadolu Efes, after the Final Four, Karşıyaka management issued a statement and reminded that they did not receive a positive response to the postponement requests last season. Kaf-Kaf stated that the Play-Off series ceased to be a series with the decision of the Basketball Federation.
NO SERIES
In the statement, “We won the second match of the ING Basketball Super League quarter-final Play-Off against a giant team such as Anadolu Efes, which was established for many other goals, by fighting and deservedly in Izmir with the magnificent support of our fans. On the other hand, while the regular season continues, moreover, we won. Despite the previously announced schedule, taking into account the EuroLeague Final Four and the EuroCup final, unfortunately, we received the news that the third game of the Play-Off quarter-final series was postponed at midnight after the game. While it was clear where the third match will be played days before, while all possible scenarios were open, this decision taken after the second match and the date of the new match, which is still unexplained, make us think that the whole plot is based on the prediction that this series will end 2-0, or worse, it will end. .
SOMETHING SUCCESS TO ANADOLU EFES
Besides, this thought leads us to think that the referee management we saw on the field in both games is another reason behind many decisions that we consider as mistakes,” the statement continued:
“Another point that we meet with sadness and surprise is that a possibility that has not been shared with us before has been expressed by both broadcaster’s commentators and rival team members. Although we are waiting for the new program to be shared with us, together with the entire basketball public, the details of the issue are not shared with our opponent. We are also curious about whether it is necessary for us to follow their social media accounts.Reminding our experiences in the 2020-21 season, in which we have been successful in playing in the final in the Basketball Champions League, before and after the Eight Finals, we reminded our rivals, Anadolu Efes, about issues such as postponement and competition frequency. “We wish you success in the EuroLeague Final Four with the opportunities available and the benefits it will bring. We respectfully announce to the entire basketball public that we will not hold back on every platform, both in our struggle and in our just reactions.”
