Manolo Hussein: "The third quarter has been eventful for our part"

I think it was a game that we have achieved what we intended, which was then mostly try not to fall in the rate of Joventut.

We thought if we had a chance to win, went a little out there and also because Joventut not going to do a bit offensively the figures to which they were accustomed.

A team of high notes and say that we knew that this game did not interest us.

Still, the game started with them putting a lot of problems, especially the pressure we did in the entire track and that caused the nine losses in the first part, I think 4 or 5 were precisely located there.

I think at the same time, that I was jeopardizing defensive aggressiveness gradually with the faults.

So it is true that cost us and cost us much scoring I like to play with the movement of the ball, especially in painting, but mostly we were getting free throws, because we were still quite vertical, quite aggressive to the basket.

I think that was a little helped, along with the defensive rebound control and our defense to have a slight advantage in the first half.

I think the third quarter we've played, has been eventful for us.

This is where it has based a bit the final difference, because it was a room where the team I think we've played at a high level, we pressed the ball, we pressed the lines, we rebounded, we have been really well in the bounce ... and that gave us many more opportunities to run and not always play against their defense, not always play five-on-five situation.

Apart from this, we recovered a little common sense and we did not always play short possessions, there were some players who were maybe a little anxiety to play too fast and now, I believe we were able to be clear what we wanted to play against their defense, which was moving the ball to find a good shooting position.

I believe that this third quarter has been really very good.

Perhaps in the end we stopped a little with the theme of the area when they have changed to zone one second we stopped there, particularly in the circulation of the ball.

I think they now have not had their day.

Really between our defense and were not really successful, we never worried too.

In addition, we were controlling the defensive rebound, Diego and Lamont have been immeasurable and I think this has been a little key, because at the end of what was theirs to play around with the time and I think we succeeded.

Therefore, it is a great victory, we must congratulate the team, we have to congratulate the players and is a victory that just puts us in a situation to continue suffering.

In other words, no more.

Sito Alonso: "With this attitude, it is difficult for the Murcia have a choice to lose more"

First of all, congratulations to Murcia, obviously not his marker, it is clear that it was for them, but because it has shown that with five days, has a much higher illusion, in this moment, which has DKV Joventut.

So, that first above anything tactical or technical level that has been happening throughout the game.

I especially congratulate all the players of them, but especially the Dean, because -5, a player who is used to get 25 or 30 points, has been able to keep our outside players metieran and even half-court pass with a excellent defensive work and that, because it shows a little and is the example we must follow if we choose to do more than to finish the league fifth, sixth, seventh ... or maybe no chance to get into playoffs.

Very disappointed with our work, especially because we rely on that we are a young team with a tremendous enthusiasm to do things and today has seen a totally blurred Joventut in this regard.

I'm off to assess the situation and 38% shooting from 2, 19% shooting from three, 64% on free throws ... But if my attention is a game we won by a landslide in terms of recovery - losses, but I think without that ambition and character that often characterizes us to win games on defense, because the truth is we can not do anything.

Murcia, in addition to his success, I think that has drawn in much better shape than we are, looking much better team game than us and for me, has been beaten Murcia today.

With this attitude, it is difficult to have an option to relegation.
