MADRID, 13 One. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Real Madrid basketball coach, Pablo Laso, celebrated that his team is “improving continuity” and that his game is “growing”, aspects that he hopes to see this Friday in the return to the Euroleague with the visit of a Bitci Baskonia to the that he sees with “a lot of individual quality” despite his irregular season.
“We are in January now and continuity is improving. We have had many more solid minutes, with fewer ups and downs, defensively we are being very regular, and offensively we share the ball well. In general, the team is showing very solid during the season. The team game is growing and we aspire to maintain it after this break that all the teams have suffered, “Laso stressed in statements to the club’s official media.
The Vitorian acknowledged that they “want to go back” to play in the Euroleague after almost a month without doing so due to the postponements due to the coronavirus that is affecting all teams. “It has been a strange few weeks for all the teams, but we look forward to playing in front of the fans again,” he said.
The Madrid coach confirmed that his men are “fine” and that he does not have “major problems”. “We are recovering people and the last training sessions have been very good, with players taking shape, few injuries and recoveries from COVID-19. As for the work of the squad, I am happy and optimistic,” he added.
Regarding Baskonia, he asked for caution despite the irregularity of his rival and the two comfortable victories this year in the Endesa League and in the Euroleague at the Buesa Arena. “I’m not looking back at matches because each one is different. I still think that Baskonia is a team of a lot of individual quality, a lot of one-on-one game that is difficult to stop and very good shooters,” he said.
“Enoch can shoot three points, Alec Peters enters who has been injured, there is the one-on-one game of Baldwin III, Fontecchio, Giedraitis, Granger. And that offensive explosion sometimes makes them have very good games like against Barça. It is a team that continues to seek its line and we have to respect it a lot, “said Laso.
