"After the defeat in the first game, our job became more difficult. Before that, we were able to pass the stages after 3 games. This, in turn, means consecutive games without rest."
İdman.biz reports that this was said by Erhan Toker, the head coach of the "Absheron" basketball team, after the game with "Neftchi".
He commented on the 72:81 defeat to "Neftchi" in the second match of the semi-final series of the Azerbaijan Basketball League: "If we had the opportunity today, I would have let some basketball players rest and play, but we didn't have such a chance. The opponent was more energetic than us. They had played fewer games than us. Just to compare, other teams had more experienced local players playing during the season. Our youth will also be valuable players of the future. I thank them and all my team members very much. My basketball players have never given up without a fight in any game we have lost. We did everything to win, including the matches with "Neftchi". This was also our philosophy during the season. To do our best regardless of the result."
It should be noted that "Absheron" lost both games of the series to "Neftchi".
