POTOCNIK, GASPER
Union Olimpija Ljubljana
"We started the game in a fashion that we did not agree on. We talked about it for last three days, how to play against Trento, but we did not play like we talked about. We started too soft, [allowed] a lot of easy baskets, had difficulties in rebounding and defense. We shouldn't play like this in the next games. I am sure that our motivation was on a high level, but simply we were not ourselves in the first half. We played very bad defense. We were great in offense throughout whole game and this saved us today and we won because of it. In the second half we started well and got the lead, but then again we complicated our lives. We reacted poorly on pressing defense, lost a lot of balls, at the end even missed a couple of free throws, but today luck was on our side. In the end, victory is what matters, because it is important how you start the competition. I believe we will play better in the next games, if we want to think about being successful."
