PRE-GAME QUOTES
Georgios Bartzokas, BC Khimki head coach:
“Efes is an extremely talented team, that is obvious from their roster. Also, they have a very experienced coach on the bench. Until now, they have been playing excellent in the season, in all their preseason and official games, except the last one with Zalgiris. This game will be special because it is on a double week, which basically demands a quick adjustment from the previous result, the trip and exhausted process that you’ve had. We need to get back to a winning process and try really hard for this”.
Charles Jenkins, BC Khimki guard:
“Both teams had to travel this week, so there is no excuse about it. Efes is a really good team; a lot better than last year. They have a lot of individual talent, so for us it’s really important to focus on personal. Also, our defense will be very important because they have a lot of guys who can score”.
Jordan Mickey, BC Khimki forward:
“It’s pretty difficult to play back-to-back games but it’s a part of our job. Guys are taking care of their bodies. We’ll face a good team and have to be ready”.
