The statement of Halil Atlı, the head coach of the "Ganja" club, which plays in the Azerbaijan Basketball League, has attracted attention.
Idman.Biz reports that the Turkish specialist spoke about the reasons for the defeat in a statement to the club's press service after the away game with "Absheron Lions".
"We prepared well after the break. I also think we had a successful training week. We couldn't fully implement some of the things we worked on in the field. The game was actually under our control. But in the first 5 minutes of the third period, we fell out of the fight. We suffered from losing the ball in fast attacks. Then we eliminated the 20-point difference, we made a comeback. It was difficult. Because reducing such a difference is not an easy thing. In the end, after a few simple mistakes, the game slipped out of our hands. I congratulate our opponent, they played well too," said Halil Atlı.
