Valencia Basket- Joventut Badalona post-game quotes: Pedro Martínez

05/10/2024

“As I said before, I’m not celebrating victory today, nor was it time to despair the other day. Today, defensively, we performed well throughout the match. I think it’s important to acknowledge that they felt Tomic's absence, as he is a key player for them. We are also feeling the impact of our injuries. That said, we defended well today. We should be happy. The other day we were sad, and that’s basketball. But we shouldn’t be overly sad the other day, nor overly happy today. However, today is a good win for us against a direct rival, and that’s it. We’re focused on improving but not comparing one game to another. We’re still in preseason, and there are certain systems we haven’t fully grasped yet and need to train on. It’s challenging right now because we’ll have little training this week due to travel that doesn’t fit our schedule well. It’ll be tough to practice because we’ll be traveling all day on Tuesday, and we won’t be able to train. We’ll also travel all day on Saturday, so we can’t train then either. We must make the most of our time to keep working and continue improving.”
