Valencia Basket- Fenerbahçe Beko Istanbul post-game quotes: Álex Mumbrú

14/10/2023

“We knew the difficulty of a game like today, against a great team like Fenerbahçe, which has just beaten Milan and is playing very good basketball. Our first quarter was very good defensively, it showed us the line we had to take. Leaving Fenerbahçe, with its arsenal of team, on 9 points in ten minutes speaks very well of our defense. In the second quarter there were moments of exchanging baskets and at the beginning of the third quarter we were not defensively as we wanted, we were bad, we received many three-pointers and we let them get back into the game. We lost our defense a little in those moments, which we recovered in the last 6-7 minutes. We have been able to know where our weaknesses were, where our strengths were. They have led us to a tight finish and above all the mental toughness of being fifteen ahead, of having two or three baskets to put you within 17, not scoring them and seeing yourself at the end a minute and a half after Fenerbahçe takes the lead and having the seriousness of continue playing our basketball until the end”
