"This was our first season in the Champions League. Of course, we have a problem in terms of experience. This is natural."
Idman.Biz reports that these words were said by the head coach of the "Sabah" basketball club, Rimas Kurtinaitis, after the 82:106 defeat to the "Alba Berlin" club in Germany in the last round of the FIBA Champions League group stage.
The expert commented on the defeat as follows:
"We had very good games at home. But unfortunately, we could not show this performance in away games. We have difficulties with rotation in the squad. We fight well with seven people in the first three periods. But as in some previous games, this time we can't do what we want in the last period due to the lack of rotation options in the squad. At the same time, 3-4 players are replaced in Alba Berlin, but we don't have such an opportunity. Nevertheless, this tournament was a great experience for us."
It should be noted that "Sabah", who finished the group stage in the last - 4th place with 7 points, stopped fighting in the Champions League.
