"Shaki" was physically unprepared for the game against "Sabah" in the third round of the Azerbaijan Basketball League.
Idman.Biz reports that this was stated by head coach Bedri Meriç in a statement to the club's press service.
He said they started the match well:
"Actually, we started the match well. It was the same in the other 2 games. We can't continue it. Unfortunately, we are not physically ready yet. I am satisfied with the performance in the first half. But in the 3rd period, because we were tired, we fell far behind in the score, and the opponent got the rebounds. We need to see the mistakes and be more prepared. In the next round, in our first home game, we want to win our first victory and start everything from scratch."
B.Meriç also emphasized that he was satisfied with the Turkish basketball player:
"Dorukhan Kuzu could not play in the matches with "Absheron Lions" and "Neftchi" due to problems with documentation. He debuted today. I am satisfied with today's performance."
The expert hopes that everything will be fine:
"NTD is also a team without a victory like us. But this match has an advantage for us. We play better in Shaki in front of our fans. I hope that everything will be fine after we start training for the first time in our home arena this week."
It should be noted that the "Sabah" - "Shaki" match in Group A ended with an 85:66 victory for the Baku club.
