Pedro Martínez: “We had too many turnovers in the first half”
“The team had a good mentality to try to come back,” added the coach after the game against Anadolu Efes.
Pedro Martínez analyzed the game Real Madrid played on Anadolu Efes's court, corresponding to the second round of the EuroLeague: "I think we made a great effort in the second half. The problem was in the first half, where we had too many turnovers, but in the second half, we were a bit better. Even so, some turnovers in the last minutes killed us again.”
“The team had a good mentality to try to come back, but we need to improve, especially when it comes to sharing the ball. I think we played for 13 or 14 minutes in the first half in the right direction, but from that moment on, we committed some turnovers that turned into easy baskets for them. And the last five minutes of the second quarter were very bad for us. They gained a significant advantage because we kept losing the ball, and it's very difficult like that.”
Final
“In the second half, we had a good mentality, improved our defense, reduced the number of turnovers, and played well. We had a chance with two minutes remaining after a great comeback in the game, but again, some turnovers and a very good offensive play on their part decided the game in their favor.”
