“We have to find a balance”
« I think offensively, we need to find a better rhythm. Defensively, we had a good match, but we can still be better, especially to reduce turnovers. (…) We must find a balance. The solution is sometimes with my teammates, seek them out more often » first confided Victor Wembanyama in comments reported by Let’s talk basketball.
“Live, it’s really difficult”
« There are plenty of ways to impact parquet. The real problem is adjusting to live defenses, defender coverages. The answer is still there, and when you watch the videos after the match it’s easy to see it. But live, it’s really difficult » then added the 20-year-old. It now remains to be seen whether the San Antonio Spurs will learn from this defeat to avoid repeating the same mistakes against the Chicago Bulls during the night of this Thursday to this Friday.
