Valencia Basket- Lenovo Tenerife post-game quotes: Joan Peñarroya

02/04/2022

“It is an important victory, a victory of merit, because of how it came about against a great rival, who, as they have shown again today, you have to win games more than once because they always find arguments and always hold on. We played a very good first half on both sides of the field, a lot of defensive concentration, leaving Lenovo Tenerife with very little scoring and us finding accuracy even in some moments that we had lacked on other days. When we entered the locker room we knew that the game was long and yes it is true that that third quarter I think we started offensively just as well but we missed open three-pointers and we are not able to continue as solid in our defensive aspects and they come into the game. I give it credit there because when it seemed that inertia was for them, the team was sober again and we took a victory that even with seven up and we recovered the ball we made an unsportsmanlike foul that cost us five points, they get to two and there is we have to make those free throws at the end, we have to play well that last minute and we have been good. Leaving Tenerife two wins away and the average I think could be important, although now what we have to do is rest and prepare for the match against Unicaja tomorrow afternoon”.
