Ergin Ataman: We will lift the trophy again at Ülker Arena
Anadolu Efes Coach Ergin Ataman made important statements before the critical match. Expressing that they played 10 final matches, including the Final Four, in 22 days, Ataman said: “It is a fact that we are tired, but the champions never give up. I appreciate the struggle of the Fenerbahçe team, but I do not forget the insulting mocking slogans against me in the hall. We have reached the top of European and Turkish basketball in the last 4 years. We are the pride of Turkey, even though those who shout these slogans cannot digest it. We are the team that fell behind 2-0 in the final series in the past and became champion from there, always succeeding in impossibilities. We will be the champions and we will win the cup again with Ülker, just like last year. We’ll lift it in the Arena.”
