First of all, them, because they understood that they had to change the way they play, complete it, improve it, and adjust it. They had to grow in the defensive aspect and in generating for others. When they become 360-degree players, it gives me that possibility. But we also have great options in those positions like Deck and Okeke, even Procida.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Fourth game in six days<\/b><br \/>\u201cIt\u2019s better to have four or five days at home training and resting, like our opponent, than to have an overtime game, but the team\u2019s competitiveness is also fostered this way\u2014refusing to lose and clinging to the game. It\u2019s part of the DNA of this club.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Team performance without Tavares<\/b><br \/>\u201cI value it a lot because these have been three tough games, and we\u2019ve won all three. It\u2019s true that they were at home. What we are very clear about is that offensively we can find solutions, but defensively, what Tavares gives us cannot be provided by any other player in the FIBA world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><i>Disclaimer: Translation generated by artificial intelligence.
