Anadolu Efes, who lost to AX Armani Exchange Milan with a score of 75-71 in Turkish Airlines Euroleague and has not yet won after their 4th-week match, made post-match evaluations at Anadolu Efes.
Head coach Ergin Ataman made a statement in Anadolu Efes, who faced AX Armani Exchange Milan on the road in the 4th week of Turkish Airlines Euroleague and was defeated 71-75. Ergin Ataman, in his statements, mentioned that they played a good game in defense, but stated that they were not successful in attacking outside shots.
Head coach Ergin Ataman’s statements are as follows:
“We started the game with a different strategy. We tried to push the system of AX Armani Exchange Milan, which has been in good shape with three long players and won their last three games. We were successful with this strategy at first. We started to miss free shots on offense and in the last 3-4 minutes we started our three shorts game. “When we came back, we had problems on defense and they ended the first half by six points. In the second half we fought to stay in the game, we came back to the game. I think we played a good game tonight on defense, but offensively, especially our three short players were not successful in the outside shots.”
“We had two hits in the 14 three-pointers we tried with Larkin, Micic and Beabouis. I said in the locker room that our attacks in the last quarter were unacceptable. Micic’s three-pointers from 8-9 yards are inexplicable and unacceptable. Also, Singleton had 27 minutes on the field. Staying and not even having a rebound is a reason for criticism for me.”
