Laso: “We put on a very solid defensive display in the first three quarters'
'The team played well, made few mistakes and moved the ball brilliantly”, said the coach.
Pablo Laso assessed his team's win over Urbas Fuenlabrada at the WiZink Center: “We put on a very solid defensive display in the first three quarters. We didn't let them play in the open court, our rebounding meant we could do lots of running and we defended well”.
“I don't focus so much on the results, although it's always better wo win than to lose, of course. The team is in good shape, they're doing the right things. We won both Euroleague games without much trouble. We played with a sense of solidity and made very few errors, were strong in defense and moved the ball brilliantly. The way the team moved the ball today was one of the best things about the game for me".
Praise for his players
"Llull was very good, despite not scoring, he really kept the play ticking over. I often feel like he plays with this weight on his shoulders about having score points but what he really needs to do is play well. He was really smart today, he read the game very well".
"Deck is very important for us. He gives us a lot in so many areas, under the post, on the rebound, his running, his defense... It was straightforward for him to slot back into the team but the team had to get used to playing with him as well. As for Heurtel, he's a guy who thrives on confidence and you could really see that in him today. It's great for any player to put in a good performance".
