Israel Gonzalez, coach of Alba Berlin, spoke after the game against Crvena Zvezda, addressing the EuroLeague and the 14th round.
Gonzalez tried to somewhat improve the standing of his team on the table, but he didn’t succeed as the red and whites were much better and convincingly celebrated the win.
“Slow pace for us. That doesn’t mean playing in transition, which we were doing well. The pace is a reaction to what’s happening on the court. We lost almost every 50/50 ball, they grabbed many offensive rebounds, and we had a lot of easily lost balls. Several players are returning from injury, and it takes more time for them to adapt,” said Gonzalez.
In the next round, Crvena Zvezda will host Real Madrid, while Alba Berlin will face Barcelona.
