Valencia Basket - Veolia Towers Hamburg post-game quotes: Pedro Martínez

02/10/2024

“I think we should be happy because we played at a good pace against a very good team. They played fantastically, and we had many problems in the first half, but we started with the same rhythm in the second half. Maybe they have Maronka who can't play because he's injured, and perhaps we had a longer rotation to maintain the pace we played at today, and I think that made the difference. With complete naturalness, and since I have a bit of experience, I don’t celebrate or dwell on the result; instead, I prepare for what’s next, which will be extremely complicated, whatever it may be. I think today we were accurate in our three-point shooting, we were excellent on the rebounds, and we also felt the positive energy from the crowd. I believe this helped us a lot because I don't think anyone in the arena thought we would win by the margin we did in the first half. Yet, the crowd, our fans, remained positive and transmitted good energy to us in the first half.”
