Giorgos Bartzokas emphasized that it is difficult to win in Valencia this season, he believes that his players followed his plan in defense and especially against Jones, he asked for concentration in the next eight matches of the regular season of the Euroleague, so that they qualify for the eight and for that they need to make safe decisions.
Analytically: “Great away win for us, it’s never easy playing at ‘Fodetta’, especially with the momentum Valencia have had this season. He plays with confidence. We had to stick to our plan, we had to play defense and we played.
In the third period, Valencia put up nine points and at the same time we had adjusted to Chris Jones because we had called him a ‘key’ player. It is a very important win for us, we still have eight games and we will give everything to get into the play-offs which is our first and only goal in the EuroLeague season.
At +15 they stole three balls, we had three bad decisions and they gave us six points in a row in the surprise. We said we have to take care of the ball, especially since Valencia didn’t have patience. We had to make safe decisions.”
