Valuation. “It was a game on the best stage in the league and against possibly the best team in the competition. We had tried to work very well during the week, trying to reduce possessions. It is not easy with the losses we had and we added that of Maj Kovacevic today (feverish process), it is not easy with Estudiantes being tremendously successful in the first half. The greatest merit is responding to that great first half of Movistar, not leaving the game, continuing to trust, going from conceding 56 points in the first half to 24 in the second.”
“We have believed a lot, the rotations have been giving us very important things, especially Sergi Costa and Jaime Fernández, who played two tremendous games today. In the extra time we have been better defensively, unfortunate because the basket went out of Lotanna, steps to sentence… it seemed that everything was going to the emotion. We defended the ball well and rebounded so that, without Devin, the gasoline gave us to win. Fundamental victory, we are on a very good line, our basketball is pleasant to see “Nobody gets bored. Very important victory, I’m very happy and it won’t be of any use if we don’t back it up with another one against Gipuzkoa on Wednesday.”
Words in the last time out. “We had worked a lot to get there and we had to avoid the foul. We knew that Alec or Francis have the defining ability in one-on-one and Dee is open. We had to defend the perimeter and the responsibility of Lucas to avoid layups and the rest to avoid second chances and cover the jump. The team has understood it very well. The four guys chasing the ball reflect what the game is about.”
Sergio de la Fuente. “He has done one thing very well that he was not doing, which is scoring from outside. He has gone with three triples, one of them super important. I have two daughters and if I had a son, he would almost be Sergio. I have known him since he was born. He gives us many things, he is the character, the visible face of what we want to be and there he is. He has had that point that he was missing, scoring regularly, taking advantage of the spaces. I think he reflects what the character of the team is.” .
