Quotes Rubén Burgos post J3 LF Endesa vs Cadí La Seu

"In a week with two games, in 48 hours, two close finals. Whenever games are decided by small details, luck also plays a part. We were fortunate that, two days after having a chance to beat Fenerbahçe at home, this time it went our way on a court where I remember quite a few close finals, due to the difficulty of playing back-to-back games and the ability, talent, and plan of the opponent. For our part, first of all, we would like to thank the Taronja fans for their presence. There was a small group of fans, both male and female, who made their presence felt and the team felt it.

When it comes to basketball, we have to focus on the positives and draw strength from the mentality the team has shown. Despite a lack of accuracy, the scores, fatigue, and moments of anxiety due to individual confidence, the team has maintained a good mentality and a high level of defense, with the intention and desire to do things right. There are many details and areas for improvement, but we are focusing first on the basics, on the things we can control. I remember some losses in superiority situations, some lapses in concentration... We must not allow this, as we have to control what depends on us and try to improve it through training, fluidity, and volume. The shooting percentages today, especially in the paint, were very low: 13 of 39 on two-point shots. That's a very low percentage, despite the toughness of the opponent, the fouls, and the collapse in the paint. Fortunately, we found more open shots, several in very good positions, which are sure to go in, because the players have the talent and confidence to execute them. In the final minutes, we had to hold on to our defense and close out the rebound better, as in the last 15 minutes they were gaining advantages from one-on-one situations and offensive rebounds. In the last play, we could have perhaps used fouls earlier, without conceding free throws, as we had the bonus, but that's how the situation unfolded. We defended the last shot and it fell on our side.

Ready for a new challenge in the Euroleague, away from home, third game of the group, on a tough court like Miskolc. We will try to do our best. Once again, we would like to thank the fans who have traveled to La Seu for their support"
