After the victory against Valencia Basket, Mario Hezonja highlights the importance of details in the playoffs and the key role of Sergio Scariolo in the white team.
Sergio Scariolo highlighted Real Madrid's ability to adapt after qualifying for the EuroLeague final, especially considering the absences of Walter Tavares and Alex Len. The Italian coach stated that the team had to "completely reinvent itself" to continue competing at the highest level against Valencia Basket. "The team has a clear identity, built week after week, and when important players are missing, we have to come up with something new and explore different ideas."
The Madrid coach avoided focusing on individual players and instead emphasized the collective effort. "It's not the time for individual names. The important thing is to find solutions to counter a great rival like Olympiacos," he stated. Scariolo also praised the attitude of his players, describing them as a "resilient, cohesive, and competitive group," capable of trusting the game plan despite being physically inferior. Furthermore, he expressed optimism regarding Usman Garuba's absence: "I believe we will respond."
