Post-Game Quotes: Joventut 82-65 Trento



Carles Duran, Joventut Badalona
"I think the team started well in the first half. In the third quarter, the team played with a very bad mentality but in the last quarter, we finished well the game. It is a good victory, and we are thinking of the next game. We showed in both games that we were better than Trento, but because we worked and did things right. If you don't work and do what you have to do, you are not a better team. We showed that in the third quarter. We didn't come out with the energy that the game required and Trento went out to try do things well and they got closer. We are not the kind of team that doesn't respect our opponents and Trento in proving in the Italian League that it is a very competitive team. We proved today that if we don't do well, they could beat us. We played good basketball for 30 minutes and were better than Trento, like we were over there because we played with the energy that the opponent deserves."

"We had a really slow start and we struggled a lot playing against their aggressive defense. This hurt us a lot because we didn't have any kind of consistent offense. On the other hand, defensively, we were always late. In the second half, we went on the court with a different mental and physical approach and I think that in the third quarter, we had a reaction. We played a little bit better, had a good defense and had the chance to play on offense with more confidence. For us, we are in a tough moment because we are coming out of a tough week, playing without three of our foreigners, and having back just for this game right after coming out of the COVID protocols. I tried to get some positive things that we had in the second half. Anyway, there is no doubt that Joventut deserved the win because they played better and with more continuity. My only disappointment is that in the last 3 minutes, we let them score some easy buckets that made the final score with a big difference that we were able to cut during the previous 20 minutes."
Vladimir Brodziansky, Joventut Badalona
"We let them come back into the game. We started kind of bad in the second half and the third quarter was really bad for us. We just have to play at 100% for 40 minutes and I think we did a really good job in the fourth quarter. We got better and won the game, which is most important. The crowd was great. They really supported us. When they went on a little run, they were behind us, supporting us, it's great."
