Ataman: ”We Remembered That We In a Semi-Final Series...”

After defeating Galatasaray Nef 91-77 in the second match of the ING Basketball Super League Play-off Semi-Final, Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman shared his views as follows:

"More than technical, we remembered that we played a semi-final series in the Play-off tonight, mentally. We played with tempo and more physical. You can’t win without a fight. Especially the backcourt players who are penetrating, the scorers. We dominate the game, we controlled the rebounds. In the end, we won and equalized the series. We'll look at the next game. We weren't there mentally in the first match. I hope the team that will play better on Tuesday wins and gains the advantage. It is a series worthy of the ING Basketball Super League."

Our successful player Vasilije Micic also explained his views after the game: "The series is now 1-1. We need to prepare for the next game, the third game will be very tough. We have a very good team against us, but today we played smarter, we wanted more. We didn't give up hard, we answered. I hope we can show that in the next match also."
