"I am grateful to my team for today's fight."
Idman.biz reports that this was stated by "Sheki" head coach Bedri Meriç in his statement to the club's press service.
He spoke about their defeat to "Sabah" in the semi-final stage of the Basketball League.
The experienced specialist stated that his team's strength was not enough to win: "I congratulate Sabah. The opponent has a squad built for European cups. In fact, we couldn't start the game well, we couldn't defend as planned. We performed a little weakly due to physical fatigue. But in the 2nd half, we tried to equalize the game a little. Hassani Gravett, who was selected as the MVP of group A, scored few points because we had taken measures on how to play against him. But even if you stop him, the other "guard" James Ides scored 24 points."
Meriç stated that he believes they will achieve a successful result in the return match: We can promise our fans that we will surprise in the match to be held in Sheki. Because we have only suffered 1 defeat on our field this season. We have won all the important matches. I am sure we will win again in Sheki."
It should be noted that "Sabah" won over "Sheki" with a score of 86:73.
