Avtodor head coach:
“For me the most important thing is that the team showed good response, energy and reaction for the last changes. I’m glad for that because these changes are really important at this moment. First of all, we need to fix our approach in defense. The team has a very good potential offensively and we must keep our confidence in this way that is good. But of course we will not be able to reach something serious if we don’t change our obligations in defense. Because everything starts from that.
We know the upcoming game is crucial for us. If we win we will save the top position in the group and advance to the next round of the FIBA Europe Cup. I believe we have enough quality for this competition. So it’s important to win and bring confidence.
New Heroes Den Bosch creates plays mostly from pick-n-rolls. Everything starts from the position one and they have really dangerous point guards Sherrill and van Oostrum. There is also a very experienced and physically strong center Oudendag in their roster. I’m certain we have an advantage in comparison with them and we want to use it.”
