Idman.biz reports that this was stated by Erhan Toker, the head coach of the "Absheron" basketball club, in his statement to the press service.
He commented on the first game against "Nakhchivan" in the play-off stage of the Azerbaijan Basketball League. The head coach stated that he was satisfied with the performance of his team in the match they lost with a score of 83:88: "I can't say that we played very badly. We made defensive mistakes from time to time. I can only say for the first half that we allowed the opponent to score a lot of points. My team was also able to score more points than usual, we scored 45 points in the first half. Usually the result is lower than that. Giving the opponent 50 points was one of the negative aspects. In the second half, we were able to play better on defense. We had equalized the match, but we made simple mistakes in critical moments. This led to the defeat."
The expert considers the victory in the next match inevitable: "We have to win the next game and we will prepare accordingly. Both teams are at the same level. In such games, some nuances affect the match. In the current situation, the main goal is to win the next match."
It should be noted that the second game between the teams will take place on April 22.
