Navarro: “Prometheus has our respect”

Imbon Navarro congratulated Prometheus on his progress in this year’s BCL, he considers the “depth” of his bench to be decisive and the aggressive defense they played in Patras, he focused on the shots Prometheus made in the first half and the different energy that the two teams on the floor, analyzed the game and compared the offensive assets of the two opponents.

Analytically: “First of all, congratulations to Prometheus for an outstanding season. They showed the “16” that they have the ‘metal’ and they have our respect. They showed they deserved to be here. I think the ‘depth’ of our bench played a role.

It is not possible to play up tempo all the time, but we emphasized the aggressive defense. We did a very good job and checked our mistakes. Prometheus made mistakes and we were able to run. Our energy was better than in the first game. The difference in the first half is that Prometheus took some good shots and made them. And in the second half they had more energy than us, but we also had a gap close to 20 points to manage. The game was different today.

We wanted to get them closer to the basket and not shoot three pointers. We are used to playing with teams that play with the three-pointer. Manresa is the team that shoots the most in Spain, they have 23 in each match. Prometheus can shoot 40. We had to push them. We didn’t do it with Hale, but we did it with Reynolds and Cowan.”
