02/11/2021

The coach Rubén Burgos said that "normally, and it was similar in Logroño, regarding the fatigue in a game 48 hours later, that the team is more plugged in after the break and seems to be less tired than at the beginning. It was not so much the case, as it was really in the second quarter that we dropped off. We conceded more points in that second quarter than in the sum of the other three. The team went out on the court focused and at one point they got physically and mentally disconnected. That needs to be corrected and that's what we did at halftime. We were able to stop Resimont, who did not score any points in the second half. She had 14 in the first half. We stopped her three-point shots and 8 minutes of the third quarter went by without him scoring. That's the spirit we want and we started to produce from the defense - both in individual and zone defense. The intensity, the spirit, the willingness to help each other has been scored and the success has appeared. We are happy with the result, the distribution of effort and the good final sensations after the reaction. One more victory and almost assures us the first place in the group and a good average for the final ranking of the competition".


Allen, for her part, assured that "I think we started very slowly, we let them decide the speed and pace of the game, but we are very happy with the way we started the second half and we came out with much more energy".
