The opponent had an established lineup. The team maintained its core structure. As for us, the team has almost been rebuilt from scratch. To achieve better understanding between the players, we need to play more games. We need a bit of time. Nevertheless, I think we performed well. Our players gave their best. There were moments when we were close to victory, but we couldn’t finish it off. I usually don’t comment on referees, but we witnessed different decisions in similar episodes.

The Swedish club was more accurate in their three-point shots. We were behind in rebounds compared to the opponent. In terms of game discipline, “Norrköping” left a better impression. It was clear that they had been playing together for a long time. Ender’s injury, after he started the game well, reduced our rotation options. Towards the end, there was fatigue among the team members. We need to look forward. We will continue to fight in the FIBA Europe Cup. Teams that, like us, stopped in the Champions League qualification rounds will also participate here, which speaks to the level of the tournament.

“Sabah” is a new team. The fact that we’ve made it this far is already a success. We have become part of the European Basketball family. Our goal will be to advance from the group. Whether we achieve that or not, time will tell. In any case, as we saw in the match against the Swedish club, you will see a team that fights until the last second in every game without giving up.
