Martinًا: Absolutely. They let him get pleasant, and that’s when he caught fire. But you’ve also got to give Benite credit. He’s a clutch player, and he aprovechó the opportunity. The GBC needs to work on their late-game strategy – contain the oppositions’ hot hands and keep calm under pressure.
Interviewer: The GBC had a 25-point lead at one point. How did they manage to squander it?
Martinًا: Well, they started playing tentative, like they were protecting the lead instead of extending it. And when Betis started making their runs, the GBC panicked.

Interviewer: Lastly, Martinًا, what’s your take on the recent trend of teams playing zone defense? Is it here to stay, or just a fad?
Martinًا: Ah,zone defense – it’s become like avocado toast, isn’t it? Every team thinks they need it. but it’s not a silver bullet. If your help defense is lacking, a good team will pick you apart. I think it’s a mix of man and zone we’ll see more of. But that’s just my opinion.

Martinaux: my pleasure. Always a pleasure to talk hoops.
