Sasa Obradovic, the head coach of Monaco, spoke after his team’s loss against Fenerbahce in the EuroLeague play-off game.
Preparing for such games, we can’t say we’re not ready for switches or the opponent’s small-ball lineup. As I’ve already said, this is a completely atypical game. I expect such things throughout the entire series. Sometimes we achieve our goals, where we want to attack the basket when they’re in the bonus, instead of shooting threes. This series will be about who reads the situations better.
There were so many situations where they scored threes when nobody was guarding them. We mustn’t lose concentration, building defensive rebounds also decided in the end. We’ve talked a lot about all of this. You can’t forget any of it, it’s all there. They were a little better, but not significantly. The point is to find situations where we have the advantage, and that’s the whole point of the story” concluded Obradovic
The second game between Monaco and Fenerbahce will take place on Friday, starting at 7:30 PM.
