Ibon Navarro: “I sign having failures like these”

MÁLAGA, February 17. (From the special envoy of EUROPA PRESS, Rodrigo Trascasa) –

The coach of Unicaja, Ibon Navarro, recognized the superiority of Lenovo Tenerife this Friday in a “match that is decided by details”, the goodbye of the host and champion from Malaga to a Copa del Rey that did not see the best version of his team.

“This is the Cup and it is a different tournament. We would have liked to be more like us, but we have to give credit to Lenovo Tenerife,” he said at a press conference, after losing in his quarterfinal debut against a Canary Islands that silenced Martin Carpena.

Navarro appreciated some of the keys of the match, but was proud of his team despite the defeat. “They have been better, they have played better, they have had a very good game. They have been finding players, since the perfection of Doornekamp. We have not had it. We have taken 10 points at the beginning of the third quarter that have lasted very little. We have made mistakes,” he said.

“A match that is decided by details, by players and they have been better. I am still just as proud of them. It is a tournament that you have to be good at, no matter what you have done in the previous five months. In any case, “We all would have signed the situations of this year and last year. I sign having failures like this,” he added.

On the other hand, the coach of a Unicaja that suffered the revenge of Lenovo Tenerife in the reissue of last year's final recognized that the second half was black and red. “It has been a matter of interpretation. They are very good and they show it. The last minutes of the third quarter we make shots that are ours,” he said.

“In the second half we didn't get good shots. There were two offensive rebounds from Cook, before that a lot of things happened, but it was not closing down two good defenses that would have given us some option to get back in because the distance wasn't that big. big”, he finished.
