Andrea MAZZON
Avtodor head coach:
“We must be really positive because we confidently won the game against the team that some days ago defeated Partizan Belgrade. Now we need to think about the second game and just analyze what kind of mistakes we made to get better. Of course it’s good to score almost 90 points playing with a lot of dunks and fast breaks. It was a pleasure to watch such game for the fans. We have to be ready to the full arena in the next game in Montenegro with probably 3 housand fans supporting the host team, creating a crazy pressure against the visitors. That’s going to be completely different from here. In Montenegro the atmosphere in the gym will be very hot. We will need to adjust. We are going to arrive in Bar already tomorrow and have about one and a half day to see what we need to do. We know we are playing against a very good team. Additionally when you play with the point system everything can happens. We will just go there and play our game. At the end of the 40 minutes let’s see if there are better than us or not. That’s very simple.

What was the key of your team’s success in the first game against Mornar Bar at home?

The players executed very well the game plan that we prepared. They just followed the game strategy. We made some stupid mistakes and received some threes from them. That’s something that we were not supposed to do as a team. We are not a squad with a lot of experience. There are some people who played at the second division last season. We also have two rookies for the VTB League like Robinson and Morris. Therefore, we need to be almost perfect to beat very good teams. We have to improve those little things to go to the next level. I’m happy to see our guys motivated like this to play together, to pass the ball unselfishly. Tonight we made 25 assists. I don’t really know what kind of team could have more than 25 assists in one game. That’s a really big number.”
