Ataman: This is a marathon. We started bad with many problems, but we will come back soon

Anadolu Efes coach Ergin Ataman comments on his team’s victory against Zalgiris Kaunas.

“Of course it was very important for us that tonight with Simon and Micic coming back to the team, we had more players at the guard positions. This is very important for our basketball that we played in the last three years. We took 44 rebounds tonight, which is important for our running game. We shared the ball, we played great basketball, like a champion. We remembered that we are the champions, and we made 26 assists, another key for our offense. And we played with great energy and great confidence. This is a marathon. We started bad with many problems, many injuries. but we will come back soon.”.
