Rival: “A lot of one on one, a lot of scoring and a lot of physicality. He has one of the top scorers in the competition, Mike James, who creates a lot of imbalance. It is a very complete team that has only lost one game away from home against Maccabi. They are playing at a high level.”
Two wins in a row: “I am happy when there are victories but we still have a lot of work to do. We have to build game elements and mechanics that we haven’t fully acquired yet.”
Jasiel Rivero: “He is doing something with the group and we will see how he is these two days to return with the team”.
Match Keys: “You have to defend well because they have good players in attack and defense. Any one of them could play without the other four around. They are players with a lot of scoring. It is a team with a great investment. We have to be good in all lines. We have to play a complete game to win”.
FIBA Windows: “It doesn’t affect us now because we have all the players here because we play the Euroleague. In the national team we always want to see the best and, although the best are there, there can always be a player who could be there and is not because of the calendar. I’m sure there will be a consensus between FIBA and the Euroleague soon”.
Mike James: “I hope I get 40 points again and we win again. He is a very unbalanced player. He can score in all ways because he is so versatile. We have to try to make the percentages bad”.
Group Mood: “We are working hard from the beginning. It is easier to work from the victories than from the defeats”.
