Ergin Ataman: “I am pleased with today’s game…”

Defeating Bahçeşehir College team 86-73 in the 25th-week match of Tahincioğlu Basketball Super League game, Anadolu Efes head coach Ergin Ataman shared his thoughts at the post-game conference:

“Our fight for the leadership in the league continues. We didn’t want to risk and didn’t play with our two foreign point guard Larkin and Micic due to their little injuries. Doğuş is the point guard of the national team anyway. We laid most of the responsibility on him and he directed very well. I am pleased with today’s game, we’ve giving chance to all of our players. We are trying to prepare for the Barcelona Lassa match without injuries while trying to win the league matches. We are shaping the roster thinking all this. Beaubois played very well today but we didn’t want to risk him either and didn’t allow him to play in the last part of the match. We will concentrate and prepare for the Euroleague’s playoff match againt Barcelona Lassa now.”

Our player Sertaç Şanlı also shared his thoughts at the press conference: “We’ve played against one of the best teams of the league today. Bahçeşehir College has the potential to use any simple mistake to turn the table around. We didn’t allow them to succeed on that other than the first quarter. We’ve raised the defense gears after the first quarter and put the game on a specific rhythm. This is a very well win. We have a very good series of victories in the league and we would like to continue on with this. I congratulate Bahçeşehir College as well.”
