Valencia Basket- Unicaja post-game quotes: Pedro Martínez

Liga Endesa round 27

Miguel Ángel Polo

“I think we should be happy, first because we beat a magnificent team, the Cup champions, who play incredibly well, with very good players, who also play very well together. So we should be pleased. We also managed to win the point differential by one, which I don’t think is decisive or definitive, but it’s better to have it than not.

And then, I also think we played well. We were solid, except in the last quarter where we slowed down a bit on offense — we lacked a bit of freshness there, probably some physical freshness. We played too statically in that stretch, lost a few balls — and until then, the turnovers we were making had been different. They got some easy baskets off direct screen plays, where we had been solid throughout most of the game.

 But overall, we played a focused game, and that’s why I’m happy. Not because of what happened during the game, or because of where we’re coming from, or what might happen in the future — to be honest, I try not to spend too much time thinking about that or analyzing it.”
