If we can play aggressive too, then we can have our say. If, on the other hand, we play on tiptoe, as we did for more than 30 minutes this evening, then we don’t go far. We need to improve in one-on-one and in penetration, we need more athletic strength ”and concludes“ we won, but I’m not happy, we gave away too many baskets ”.
