Abalde: "We'll have to play a very complete game to win"
"We expect Valencia to be at their best, but we also have room for improvement," explained the forward.
Alberto Abalde spoke to the media ahead of the third game of the Liga Endesa final against Valencia Basket, which will be played tonight at La Fonteta (9:15pm CEST): "We're really looking forward to it. We know it will be very tough, and we expect Valencia to be at their best, as they were in the first two games of the series. They're a very tough team, and even more so with their fans behind them. We have to play a very solid game to get the win."
"I expect a very heated atmosphere. La Fonteta is also special to me. I enjoyed the atmosphere there for three years, and I know they will be supporting their team. That makes them even more dangerous, and we'll have to be at a very high level to win."
"We have room for improvement. To win here, we definitely have to improve. I hope they maintain the level of accuracy they showed in the last game or even improve on it. We have to try to slow them down a bit and get a hold on the game."
Experience
"Every game is different, and we have to focus on playing well. We have to be solid and consistent and defend well because they're a very dangerous team in attack. The challenge they pose will be different from the first two games and from other seasons."
