Overall, about the game against Vincent Collet’s squad, he added: “It was a good win for us. Once again we played well for 40 minutes and we got a nine-point lead. But, that was just the first half. We have another half, where we will play in Strasbourg. We made it today (28/3), but we have to stay focused on our goal.”
Regarding the two important games within four days – the one against Olympiacos (1/4) and the second game against Strasbourg (4/4) – he said: “There’s no problem. We take it one game at a time. The game against Strasbourg is over and now we have to focus on the one against Olympiacos. When the one against Olympiacos is over, we’ll think about Strasbourg again. We play basketball, this is our job. We are called to be mentally and physically prepared for every game so that we can do everything we can to win every time.”
