Olympiacos finished at the top of the standings in the EuroLeague and is now waiting for Monaco in the first two games of the series, at the Peace and Friendship Stadium (April 28 & 30), seeking their fifth consecutive qualification for the tournament's Final Four.
For his part, Sasha Vezenkov capitalized on his performances this year, winning the regular season MVP award for the second time in his career.
The Bulgarian forward dominated the regular season, finishing first in the two most important statistical categories.
Specifically, the 19.44 points he scored per game earned him the "Alphonso Ford" award, leaving Kendrick Nunn (18.97) and Nadir Ifi (18.76) behind him.
He also dominated in efficiency, where he also finished first with 23.1 points per game, leaving Elijah Bryant, Nikola Milutinov, Sylvain Francisco and Chima Moneke behind.
Thus, Sasha Vezenkov became only the second player in EuroLeague history with 2 regular season MVP awards, after the great Anthony Parker, one of the most complete Americans to play on European courts, who won back-to-back awards in the 2004-06 biennium with Maccabi Tel Aviv.
In fact, in his first year, he also celebrated winning the EuroLeague with the "team of the people" at the Moscow Final Four.
