A crucial week for the Roca Team

“We suffered against a catchy Baskonia team who played as we feared before this meeting, recognized Yakuba Ouattara at the end of the game. All matches are battles, and you have to fight hard to win. That’s what we were able to do tonight to erase the defeat suffered in Valencia, and get off to a good start. On a crucial week, you have to stay focused and get back to work right away. »
