Chus Mateo: "We have to regroup and be ready for Friday"
"It was a point-to-point match between two teams at a very high level," said the coach.
Chus Mateo spoke after the first game of the Play-in Showdown between Real Madrid and Paris Basketball, which was played at the Movistar Arena. The coach had this to say: “It was a point-to-point match between two teams at a very high level. Now, we have to regroup and be ready for Friday when we’ll be trying to secure a playoff place.”
“They played a very complete game, both in attack and behind, and they managed to limit our strengths. We weren't able to stop their one-on-ones and we felt the absence for so long of a benchmark player for the team in Tavares, although Ibaka was very good.”

“They managed to beat a team like KK Crvena Zvezda who are playing very well and having a great season. We have to do things better than we did today to have a chance of getting into the playoffs.”
