Valencia Basket- Río Breogán post-game quotes: Álex Mumbrú

24/05/2023

“A game in which I think we started well in the first five or six minutes of the first quarter, doesn't go into the full quarter. We have escaped by eight points and from there we have stopped and they have come back. The second quarter has been more of the same, allowing eleven offensive rebounds because they have had more desire than us to grab the rebounds and even so we have not entered bonus in the second quarter. In the third quarter there have been five minutes in which we have minimally defended and played harder but in the last quarter the exact same thing has happened, we have had to see ourselves at the end of the game without bonus, controlling them, scoring from one against one. With a bad game and very bad feelings. I am not going to deceive you. I did not expect a game like today's. I will have part of the blame, of course, for not having given them enough emphasis on what we were at stake in this game and I take part of the blame, of course, I am the most responsible. But I understand that people leave angry. Today has demanded of us and we have not been able to live up to it. A team that is playing to enter the Playoffs without depending on third parties and in the first half you are unable to get into bonus in the second quarter, they take eleven attack rebounds and every time they shoot they take the rebound. I understand that people have left angry and that they demand more of us. Now comes the Playoff and we have to push hard"
