Chus Mateo: 'We got the first win and we have to keep going because it's a long playoff`'
‘We have the experience to win these types of games,’ Musa said.
Chus Mateo and Musa analysed the win against UCAM Murcia in the first game of the league final playoff series. The coach said: ‘I'm very happy because it's not easy to beat this team. We got the first win and we have to keep going because it's a long playoff. I'm happy with the way this team has fought, worked and struggled. I'm happy for them because they deserve to be in the final and hopefully we'll get another win in the next game.'
'In the first half we made some good shots, but when you don't shoot with enough conviction sometimes your arm seems to get shorter. UCAM Murcia play with a lot of heart. When they look like they're pretty much finished because you've done a good job, they come back at you.'
Musa: ‘The third quarter was key’
'UCAM Murcia is one of the best teams in Spain and we respect them a lot, but we're going for another win on Monday. The key against their defence is not to hesitate. If we have an open shot we have to shoot.'
'At half-time we talked about being more aggressive in defence and the third quarter was key, especially the first five minutes. We have the experience to win these types of games.'
