Vidorreta: "Our defense, key to winning a game more tied than what the final score indicates"

06/05/2018

Valencia Basket coach has indicated after the victory on the track of Montakit Fuenlabrada that "it has been a tied game in the first fifteen minutes, with a certain dominance of the Fuenlabrada Montakit motivated mainly by his good defense and our errors both in turnovers playing the first pick as failures in relatively comfortable situations in the zone and especially six missed free throws. It seems that from the minute 15 we have been able to correct those errors. We have scored three triples in a row, which is always something that takes pressure off and gives us confidence. I think in general throughout the game we have made a magnificent defense, which has been key to maintaining the advantages we have achieved at the end of the second quarter when Montakit Fuenlabrada has pressed 1-on-1 with Cruz and Popovic and get closer to three points. And then to get a victory with a big difference, which I think does not do justice to what the match has been. I think it has been more equal, but at the last moment when we have overcome the ten-point barrier, Montakit Fuenlabrada has fallen into that discouragement that causes you to be with a losing streak after such an extraordinary season"
