The "Absheron Lions" team wants to win in European tournaments.
Idman.Biz reports that this was stated by Erhan Toker, the head coach of the "Absheron Lions" basketball club, in a statement to the club's press service.
The experienced specialist shared his thoughts on the FIBA Europe Cup main stage game they lost to Neftchi:
"We couldn't play as well as we thought. Some players' performances were not at the desired level. Aubrey MacAlpyn was injured. He played, but didn't have the desired effect. Gediminas Orelik was also not effective. We didn't put on a good game in defense against the opponent we knew from the beginning. "Neftchi's shots were very good. It became difficult for us to reach them. After this, we will try to win our matches in Europe. We will not turn back from our path. We represent Azerbaijan and we have a great desire to win in such a tournament."
It should be noted that the "Absheron Lions" - "Neftchi" match ended with the latter's victory with a score of 104:86.
