“As I said in the preview, here are eight great
teams trying to play good basketball. It was seen in the first game that Real
Madrid won in a hurry, and we won in extra time. We know the difficulty in the
Cup and I think that in the first half we did not have the defensive and
offensive rhythm that we needed against a Gran Canaria that was ahead in attack
and defense. In the second we changed the rhythm, despite the success, we were
in rhythm. As I said in the preview, there are always unforeseen events, we had
less in the last quarter, and in extra time, instead of collapsing, we came out
focused to finish. Happy for the players, they fought in the second half, and
happy for the people of Valencia Basket and congratulate the Dreamland Gran
Canaria game, congratulate them on their season.”
