"Preparation for the next games is going well. We had the opportunity to recover both physically and mentally. We must be fully prepared for the upcoming games. I can't blame anyone specifically. I think we have the potential to become a great team in this league. But at the same time, we are the youngest team in the championship. It makes things difficult in a league full of experienced players. Still, I believe we can change the situation." Sport24.az reports that NTD basketball player Kobi Montgomery said this in a statement to the club's press service.
He also shared his thoughts on the squad: "The new players who have joined the team have helped us a lot. But there are also difficulties along the way, because everyone has to adapt to new roles. If we all have a winning mentality, it will definitely benefit us."
The American basketball player said that the Azerbaijan championship is organized at a high level:
"I would say that basketball is played at a very high level in the Azerbaijan Basketball League. The league is very competitive. Since this is my first year in professional basketball, I didn't know exactly what to expect. But it is very positive for me to gain such experience."
Montgomery stated that his main difficulty is related to language:
"It's great to live in Azerbaijan. I'm more of a homebody, so I haven't been able to travel much to fully experience the country. But I haven't had any problems either. The only thing that is difficult for me is the language barrier."
It should be noted that NTD is currently last - sixth with 7 points in Group A of the Azerbaijan Basketball League.
