Comment by the head coach of “Prometey” Ronen Ginzburg at the press conference after the win over “Venice” in the BKT EuroCup.

- I think, we played not very well in defense in the first half. We were losing by 12-13 points. However we have demonstrated our character, we came back to game. In the second half, we were better in defence, but still we had a lot of individual mistakes we should not have at this level.

However, I am happy that we won, happy for the team, for people in Ukraine. This is a big victory for us. I believe, we will be much better in the future.

Defense, first of all, was a key factor. When you play well in defense, it gives confidence to the players. We can see it on the example of Issuf Sanon, Ondrej Balvin and Illia Sydorov. Everything starts from defense, one day we will understand that.

Rob Gray has not played for 4-5 months. I know, he will catch up with this, he just need certain time. But I liked his performance in the second half. I think, it will take him one-two weeks. I am not sure he remembers all our players’ names at the moment. He needs to learn it, to learn our system but he has already demonstrated he is able to score points.
