Olimpia Milano coach Ettore Messina and big man Kyle Hines talks after the road win over Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe knew, coming in, that this was going to be a tough game, against a physical team, well organized, well coached, especially missing two players. I\u2019m happy for the win. We just made some uncharacteristic mistakes, mostly turnovers. We are not used to have 18 turnovers, but that was a physical game, played by two good, solid defenses, who switched a lot. In the end we made a couple of big shots, they missed a couple, and we won. In the EuroLeague, on the road, every game is tough, every team has talent and the so-called surprising results are not surprising at all, because everything is possible. So I\u2019m very happy,\u201d Coach Ettore Messina said at the end.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe kind of struggled throughout the game, but we stuck with it, found a way to win. It\u2019s a good win on the road to start the EuroLeague season. I think they just had good defensive strategy. They switched a lot, we overreacted instead of playing the way we play. But we overcame it,\u201d Delaney said. \u201cThis is the EuroLeague \u2013 Kyle Hines said \u2013 There are no babies in the EuroLeague. Every team we play it will be physical competition. Especially because guys have been waiting for this a long time, they\u2019ve been waiting months and months to be able to come back. We expected it to be a physical game, especially here against this type of team. We got to continue to play this way. We are not a finished product, we know that this season is a long ride, it\u2019s a marathon. Our main mindset is just to continue to get better every day. That\u2019s our main goal. As long as we continue to do that we\u2019ll be fine at the end.\u201d<\/p>\n
