After the end of the match, the first scorer Sasha Vezenkov he mentioned that Armani’s fighting spirit made him and his teammates play even better to finally get the win, while he spoke again about the need for improvement.
In detail what he said:
“I feel great, my performance is combined with a win. You understand within the team how important the win was. We had prepared for a tough game, against a strong team that never stopped fighting. Armani made us play even better to win.
The most important point was when we decided to play good defense. We played hard, we controlled the rebounds, everyone did a great job. We have to improve, but we start the second round with a win at such a difficult venue and that is very important”.
“I’m happy, it was a difficult battle. We know how strong a team Armani is, especially at home. We did an amazing job, those of us who played today. We made some unforced errors (17), but we gave enough assists, we tried to limit them and finally good, all good”.
On his 2,500+ point record: “I don’t look at the numbers, it’s beautiful, it’s… a milestone, together with the victory it’s nicer. There are challenging games ahead and we keep going strong”.
For Fournier: “Evan kept us, and so did Peters at the end put shots, a big shot, played defense on Mirotic. Nobody forced a try, and I didn’t have to shoot in the end. There are many of our players who can put up 20 points and more”.
