Álex Mumbrú highlighted the value of the fifth consecutive victory in a “match that was important to us”. The Surne Bilbao Basket coach commented that the game had two sides since “The first half has been all of BetisThey took us out of the passing lanes and we couldn’t play our game. We have been without rhythm in the legs, we have made many mistakes and we hardly had time to defend. But in the second We have adjusted some things and we have been able to defend much better. We have found our basketball to dominate and be able to make a difference”, he added. The duel even ended with a certain calm because “Betis had not competed for a long time and that, in the end, shows because the matches are long”.
In any case, Mumbru did not want to trigger the euphoria, despite the fact that the dangerous positions move away. “We are a humble club, which tries to do things well and for us it is a challenge to compete every year and every game. In that sense, it was an important game because Betis went down and went up with us. These years we are very even and it was nice to see today’s game”, reflected the coach of the men in black.
the betis, without excuses
For his part, Luis Casimiro did not use the time that his team was without competing to excuse the defeat since “I did not do it in the previous one either.” On the contrary, he was self-critical. “You have to recover and have a good mentality again,” assured the Betis coach, who lamented that after a good first half his team “fell apart when Bilbao Basket managed to play good indirect blocks and hit their shots.” In addition, Cvetkovic’s injury “left us limited in the direction of the game.” “It’s normal to be annoyed when it’s hot. In the second half, the game was easy for us, but we have to keep insisting; every game is an opportunity,” Casimiro concluded.
