Quotes Pedro Martinez

"I think we have a lot of pressure on the driver in the last quarter from the defensive intensity. They are well equipped, they have a lot of pressure against a perillosa crowd on the court and we have a change in the defensive intensity that has given them a lot of confidence thanks to this aggression."
