We couldn't build the defense we wanted.
"Report" reports that this was stated by Bedri Meriç, the head coach of "Shaki".
The expert shared his views on the second game of the playoff stage of the Azerbaijan Basketball League, which they lost to "Ganja" on the road (71:94):
"I congratulate the opponent on the victory. They took good advantage of the advantage of playing at home. Our players were tired and our reserve team is also small. Our main basketball players also failed to show the performance we wanted. "Ganja" used 60-70 percent of 3-point shots. We have been having problems with 3-point shots lately. We will try to fix this in the last game".
It should be noted that the team that advances to the next round, which Shaki won in the first match (85:84), will be determined in the third meeting. The winner of the pair will face the strongest of the "Sabah" - "Sərhədçi" duel in the semi-finals.
