Vezenkov: “We don’t look at scenarios in the Euroleague, we want to end first”

It all starts with the defense. We found an opportunity to run, easily put baskets, released the ball and played very well in the second half.

You need to understand that we have enough depth, a lot of players. It is difficult for some players to play one, not to play the other, to try to find a rhythm. Because everyone has gone through this stage it is difficult, it takes patience but also needs results. So everyone is trying to be ready, each in time and space that finds it playing well. It is a special process but we have the depth, talent, personalities to manage it and everyone is valuable now that we are in the final line.

It is a shape that has its good and its bad, every emergency we find to play because of the problems. We hope that the tall ones who are very important will turn around. We saw Fal today, we are waiting for Milutinov, Wright is already ready, you saw him at Euroleague. Each player is very important to us because he gives something different and to be together in the final line we enter.

We relaxed in Berlin, let Alba with her unique style get into the game. In the big matches it wants a good attack and the right but hard defense to win the games.

We don’t look at scenarios, we just want to win. We play the first day, so to win, to do our job, not to depend on anyone, to be first and to wait to see what happens. Much will be determined on Thursday, whatever the opponent is nice to be first, gives you confidence. The playoffs are the second phase, you start from scratch, it counts nothing. It will be a very good team worth the play-offs, but we are playing firm all year long, we are first, we have the advantage of a seat for several weeks, we have not fallen out of the four for a long time, so we are ready to face every opponent.
