"I congratulate "Ganja" on the victory. They took good advantage of the advantage of playing at home."
Idman.biz reports that this was said by the head coach of "Shaki" Bedri Meriç.
The expert shared his thoughts on the second game of the play-off stage of the Azerbaijan Basketball League, which they lost to "Ganja" on the road (71:94):
"We couldn't build the defense we wanted today. Our players were tired, and our reserve team is also weak. Our main players also failed to perform as we wanted. In addition, "Ganja" used 60-70% of their 3-point shots. We have been having problems with 3-point shots lately. We will try to fix this in the last game. As a novel I read says, we climbed the ladder, if we have come this far, we can skip one more stage. We will do our best to take that one step."
It should be noted that the team that advances to the next round, where "Shaki" won the first match (85:84), will be determined in the third match. The winner of the pair will face the stronger of the "Sabah" - "Sarhadchi" duel in the semi-finals.
