Valuation. “Congratulate Silbö San Pablo Burgos for the great game, for how they played. because of the tone of the first quarter where the game ended. If you get 9-32 at home, the difference is brutal, and if you get almost 80% accuracy on two-pointers throughout the game, there is no game. We have not competed, we have not been, you have to believe with these teams that you can win and if you come to see what happens, they will pass you by. One thing is that they are very good and another thing is that you don’t fight, don’t fight, don’t do anything and the person responsible is Lolo Encinas, the coach. Congratulations and let’s prepare as soon as possible when we play on Sunday in Seville.”
Exit in the first quarter. “When they beat you in everything, when they are ahead in everything, if you are behind in everything, it is basketball and the level of the league this year has risen. When all the outside teams beat you every time and we are not even capable of making fouls, because we have not made them. At half-time there was only one player with two fouls, no one else. They have passed us over, that is the summary.”
Hurt to lose at home. “It hurts me to see what I have seen. We played four days ago and when there was a problem we came back, and I don’t know what happens at home, but when there is a problem, the team never comes back. Since the league started. The team is falling apart. And when you play against good teams like this, they destroy you and that is the big problem. It hurts me, we haven’t given anything, I can’t ask anyone for anything in Valladolid.”
Message in the locker room. “If I knew what it was, of course, tomorrow we would wear it. It has already been repeated several times at home. We lost by 4 against Obradoiro, but this intensity thing has happened to us several times. Because it happens here, here at home you have to have another strength, go out in another way. It seemed like San Pablo was playing at home. The team is very screwed, like the coach, it is what it is, I am responsible. It has been clear in the stands who they are targeting, I have told the boys to be calm, that in the end the spotlights show who they are targeting. Let them play basketball, we already know who pays for the shouting. Let them play basketball, we did it three days ago and we must recover well because in three days we are going to Seville. It’s very hard to live it down there for everyone, you come with enthusiasm and the first quarter already does things to your head and heart. It’s hard. Tomorrow to get the kids up and go to Seville to compete.”
Change the chip for the game in Seville. “Tomorrow we have to train, we leave on Saturday to face a great team on Sunday. And you have to fight, and whoever wants it, fine, and whoever doesn’t, won’t be able to be on this team. We cannot be like this, we cannot repeat this, we have already done it several times. It can’t be playing like that at home, I admit.”
Eric Demers. “It’s been two days, in the first one he has already made efforts. He doesn’t have what others have at home and he played like it was nothing. Trying to get him into the group as soon as possible can help us, we have to work to get him into the group. He knew few systems, the rules. He has done one and a half training sessions, he is a good player, let’s see if we can get him in as soon as possible. It doesn’t matter if you bring Jordan, we can’t play like that. This is a team, not a player, and it’s more than the players. And if you don’t do it as a team, whoever wants can come, it’s a team thing.”
