Ergin Ataman: “We will seriously take the necessary precautions…”

Defeating Muratbey Uşak 81-78 in the 23rd-week match of Tahincioğlu Basketball Super League game, Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman stated his thoughts at the post-game press conference:

“First of all, I congratulate Muratbey Uşak team. They show an amazing fight even though they are in the relegation zone. Actually, this match was their right. The chance was with us at the end of the match and with Simon’s many extra three-pointers won this match. Of course, I wasn’t expecting the team to react like this after Barcelona loss. We will seriously take the necessary precautions. I will give my report to the club. I would like to say that; yes we believe in the championship but as long as this character continues things won’t be the same at the end of the season. Everybody should know that. I want fighting players but unfortunately, we cannot see this. It was the same today as well. It was a terrible match for us I can say.”

Our player Brock Motum also stated his thoughts at the press conference as: “We won but there is nothing to be proud of. We have shown a bad performance as a team. I can say that we were bad from the beginning to the end. Simon grabbed us important points. Though we mustn’t leave the matches to the last minute like this. We must start tough and rip the match from the beginning. We couldn’t do that today. We must continue to work.”
