Coach Ergin Ataman expressed confidence in Mathias Lessort\u2019s return, saying the team is experienced enough to manage his condition. \u201cIt\u2019s risky, but he\u2019s trained hard. Playing 5-on-5 is already like a game,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
About Fenerbahce, Ataman noted their improvement since McCollum\u2019s arrival. \u201cThey\u2019re strong and well-coached, but we beat them twice. Hayes is among the best in Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the coaching battle with Jasikevicius and a possible Greek final, Ataman was blunt: \u201cI don\u2019t care who we face. We\u2019re here to win. For me, it\u2019s just another game.\u201d<\/p>\n
