Quotes Lotos Gdynia vs. Dexia Namur

11.11.2004

Bobby Martens, Head Coach, Dexia Namur:
"First of all I would like to congratulate Lotos Gdynia for the victory. We came here and played without any fear because we had nothing to loose and we had everything to win. In the first quarter we played what we need to play against such a great team. I knew if we had problems in the first minutes we could have lost it by many points. So we won this quarter and this helped us a lot.

We are not yet strong enough to play an entire game like we played the first ten minutes, Our American players are just about two weeks with us and I am sure we will become stronger and stronger each game.

The most important reasons we lost the game were: the second quarter which we lost 27:14, an unstoppable Margo Dydek and our poor 2-point shooting effiecieny. Even with Margo Dydek playing such a good game we could fight for the victory if we only got much higher 2-point shot efficiency."

Krzysztof Koziorowicz, Head Coach, Lotos Gdynia:
"We won the game against a tough rival. This game confirms my opinion that there are no weak teams in the EuroLeague. We had many problems in finding good shooting positions especially early in the game beacause of Dexia's hard defence. Later it seemed like they were a little bit tired so we controlled the result to the end. My team is very young and we still need some time to play better."
