In detail what he said:

For the target in Game 4: “Yesterday we had a great gaming game because we knew it was a” key “match for us, for the series. For three seasons we played perfect basketball, but again in the fourth we made many mistakes and risked in the match to do what in the second in Athens. With Mitoglou, Slouka and Nan we found a way to win the game. It’s only 2-1, we saw that Efes is very dangerous, plays offensive basketball with double-team, triple defense on Nan, Sloukas. We have to score from other players, as we found with Mitoglou yesterday. The players must score better in the perimeter. It will be difficult, the order continues, nothing is given. We got the advantage, it will be a difficult match, we will try to win. Every match is difficult against them. “

For Central Nan: “Yesterday he was very active even in the first half that scored only four points. In the defense he was aggressive. Efes played a terrible defense against them, but it is not easy to play 40 minutes with the same aggression in defense, with the same players and began to score and find confidence. He scored 19 points in the second half that were important. On the other hand, Larkin created us problems. “

On whether there were changes to the way Nan played: “Every day we meet, we analyze previous matches. We showed him that he is two and three defenders on him, that Efes protects the painter when attacking. Yesterday, especially in the first half, he was very smart, he found the free player many times and that’s good. When you find the free player, they open the defense and then Nan found his game. I told him not to concentrate on the defense, just to do his game, to try to score but to be smart and if they mark him to give the ball and take it back. “

As to whether he is waiting for something different from Efes: “Different? No. Both teams will have played 38 games at Euroleague. It is impossible to do something different in one day. But they are awesome players with experience. Yesterday beyond Larkin and Oturu played great, and Doser. Bryant is always dangerous. Efes never gives up in the matches and the series. It will be a difficult match for sure. “

As to whether there are injuries: “No”.
