Andrea MAZZON
Avtodor head coach:
“We played against Udine, a team who three days ago beat the champion of Italy. So they are in great confidence and shape. Nevertheless, we managed to win the third game in a row.

About the game I think we did some good things with the big lineup when Clarke played wing together with Hummer, Zabelin, Morris and Frazier and also Sheleketo rotating the bigs.

I am expecting a lot more from our players and even if I know we are a new team and we practice only few days together but we have no rights to make the same mistakes twice during the game. Tonight some players did it and at the same time we wasted our time talking to the officials.

Like the last game against BC Samara where stats told us we played a really good defense giving only 0.8 points per each possession of our opponents, tonight we did a good job and we rebounded very well but still not good enough.

From the other side, we did not convert a lot of easy baskets after a steal or defensive stop. Now we must improve our half-court game and cut the number of turnovers because we can't afford to do it in the Qualification Round. In any case I’m happy to finish with another win and I am proud of the Avtodor guys.”
