Laso: “We have to be solid in defense and put in a good performance to beat Zaragoza'
“We have to keep winning games, showing discipline and being competitive', added the madridista coach.
Pablo Laso spoke to the club's official media channels ahead of the clash with Casademont Zaragoza on Endesa League matchday 18, set to be played at the WiZink Center on Sunday 5:00pm CET. The madridista coach reflected: “Playing against Madrid is always extra motivation. Zaragoza have had injury problems but they have players back. They play some good basketball. We'll have to be disciplined, put in a good performance, be solid in defense and on the rebound to ensure we bring a good pace to the game and control opposition who have open players and a strong pick and roll. We must play a good game'.
Challenges this season
“The competition sets you various challenges over the course of the season. The first goal was to make the Copa and we did that early. Now we're going to keep working hard because this isn't over. We want to finish as high as possible in the Regular Season and make sure of a play-off spot. We have to keep winning games and being competitive'.
Yabusele's contract renewal
“Yabusele is a guy who has settled into the team very quickly. He came in to what was a well-covered position but injuries to Randolph and Thompkins have meant he could build up a head of steam. His ability and how he plays have enamoured madridismo. He's an intense player, he brings us so much. I'm thrilled he is going to be staying with us”.
