Danny Franco, Hapoel: 'We were stubborn enough to pull it out'
Article
3 Mins read
Hapoel Vegan Friendly Tel Aviv head coach Danny Franco:
“I would really like to thank London Lions for hosting us here in such a nice way. We wish them luck in their next games. This one was tough. Anybody could have won. I’m happy of course that it went to us. My guys were stubborn. It was a frustrating game for us. We couldn’t find our rhythm - on both sides of the floor - for a lot of minutes. We knew when we were behind that we could play a lot better than we did. We just tried to stay in the game. With a lot of hustle - we grabbed 24 offensive rebounds - not because we are bigger or more athletic. We were just frustrated about the way we played. And we kept on fighting. We tried to dive and touch every ball, and that kept us alive. And eventually, that stubbornness and that determination to win came to our favor.
"Guys made big plays and we played as a team. Even if one guy shines, the team is letting him shine, playing and working to get everybody going and trying to find the hot player at the same time. I am proud of my guys for not putting our heads down. It’s a lot easier to learn from a game after you win it than after you lose it.
"We had a huge support from a lot of fans. 1,500 fans came from Israel all the way to London to the beautiful Wembley area and just helped us to keep our heads up and keep on fighting. Eventually, it paid off. I am really proud of my guys. That is a very important win for us in the EuroCup at an important time of the season."
London Lions head coach Ryan Schmidt:
"It’s a tough loss. I thought our guys played well, competed. At the end of the day, that’s a talented team. They’ve got guys who can put up big points. You saw that with Jordan McRae, who has been doing that everywhere he has gone. It’s a little tough when you have four guards who get into foul trouble. I thought the whistle was a little quick tonight to be blunt. It’s tough to get into a rhythm. You gotta play Sam [Dekker] 40 minutes, Jordan Taylor has to play above 35. I think their depth kind of wore us out in the end. It kind of hurt us at the offensive end and our ability to make shots. Early in the game, we were in a good flow and rhythm. But we know that every single night in this competition, it will be tough. Every team you go up against is really talented, including these guys. At the end of the day, hats off to them. They’re a really good team, they’re well-coached. They made plays down the stretch when they needed to."
Hapoel Vegan Friendly Tel Aviv forward Jordan McRae:
"It was a total team effort. We fought hard at the end of the game. We never gave up. All the guys on the floor and on the bench just played hard. All I want to do is win. If you ask the coach, the players about me, in practice, 3-on-3, 5-on-5, I’m always trying to win. That’s all I want to do.
"We have to do a better job of starting the game better. We can’t keep putting ourselves in holes. The whole team fought back. We played hard and we came out with the win."
