Scariolo: “There are things we need to improve, especially on the defensive side”
“We are especially upset for the fans, who have supported us throughout the year and have always been by our side,” the coach explained.
Sergio Scariolo analyzed the third game of the quarterfinals of the League against La Laguna Tenerife. The coach said in the press room of the Movistar Arena: “Congratulations to the opponent. We have to learn what we can improve. Obviously, you can't learn to avoid having three players injured in the same position. That happened, and it is very atypical and unusual to draw conclusions from it, but there are things we have to digest and improve, especially on the defensive side.”
“It hurts, especially because, as you know, in my career I have seen seasons, championships where my teams have always been able to rank among the best in defensive performance. We have achieved this in both competitions at certain times, but it is clear that our defensive efficiency over the last month has not been adequate.”
Fans
“We would have liked to gift the fans a longer postseason. For the faults we can take responsibility for, we apologize to a fanbase that has supported us throughout the year, even today, always present, always by our side, and always cheering. We are especially upset for them.”
