Then he reflected on the slow start to the season for the six-time EuroLeague champions. The former Turk Telekom player highlighted where everything “clicked.”
“Essentially, we have an entirely new team. It wasn’t realistic for everything to go perfectly from the beginning; we even had two close losses in overtime. But as the season progressed, we became closer, and now we’re about where we want to be. I think we’re on the path to the top. Playing in Berlin, they might not be one of the best teams, but at home, all teams tighten their ranks. From that moment, we caught the momentum we have now.“
Regarding what Mathias Lessort told him
“He told me to expect probably the best, loudest crowd and the most challenging environment I’ve ever played in. That motivates me even more; I can’t wait to step out in front of these fans and play. We know how good Partizan is at home and how tough it is to beat them, but everyone is ready for the challenge, and, in fact, they are very excited.”
