Chris Fleming: Lukoil punished us immediately, when we made bad decisions
19-12-2007 00:25
Artland Dragons head coach Chris Fleming:
"We wanted to slow down the tempo because Sofia plays a lot faster than we can play. We wanted to control the ball a longer time, but there were too many phases in which we did not manage to do that. Sofia punished us immediately, when we made bad decisions. The key to the game was when Pero Antic got his fourth foul, but we didn't take advantage of that. At the end we weren't able to defend Stoykov."
From other side the best player from Artland Dragons Terrance Thomas, who scored 25 points was way too arrogant to say:
"I think that we are better than Sofia and they didn't deserve to win. The coach prepared us good, but everbody made mistakes. We managed to slow down the tempo just sometimes and Sofia got too many open shots."
Interesting opinion of american forward as Lukoil Academic combined to beat their oponnent by 59 points and showed they are much better team than Artland.
