As the coach of Brose Bamberg explained in the press conference: “Τhis kind of teams expose you. For three quarters we were able to stay close, we cut their lead to seven points and when you make a mistake they punish you. You have to be super-focused against those teams, you have to play every possession like it’s the last. We can’t evaluate our team by this game. They are the defending champs, they played better. We maybe didn’t get many calls despite the fact that we tried to go inside, but this wouldn’t change anything”.
And when he was asked about the possibility of adding a big man in the roster, Trinchieri asked the journalist who made the question: “How much money you have in your wallet, 100 euros? A couple of hundreds is good for some cocktails, not to sign a big man. Look the players that Fenerbahce has. We could never match their physicality. If you want to give me part of the 100, we will see. Maybe 50%-50%…”
On the other side, coach Zeljko Obradovic didn’t have much to say: “We played with clear ideas in defense and especially in the third quarter the problem for us was our transition game. We have worked on that in practices, but couldn’t do what we should in the game. It’s just the beginning of the season, it’s always hard to play here and Brose had many new players like we do. We expect one more interesting EuroLeague season”.
