Gianmarco Pozzecco revealed the events in the closing moments of the game in Kaunas during the EuroLeague clash between Zalgiris and Asvel.
The French team secured their first win of the season in the elite competition, which was also the first win for the Italian on his new job. Asvel won with a score of 91-88 after a thrilling finish.
Gianmarco Pozzecco discussed the ending of the game and revealed an interesting reaction by Paris Lee. Three minutes before the end of the game, the Italian coach called his player to prepare for a substitution to enter the game.
Previously, Paris Lee had been on the court for a little over three minutes at the end of the third quarter. It seemed that at that moment, Gianmarco Pozzecco wanted Paris Lee to be on the court, but the player from the French team subtly declined to enter the game, saying, ‘Let them play.’ That means more to me than anything.”
