“The team atmosphere has been really good over the past week.”
As reported by Idman.Biz, NTD player A.J. Mackie spoke to the club’s press service ahead of the match against “Ganja.”
Discussing the team’s current condition and goals, he noted that morale is high:
“The team spirit has been great over the past week. Everyone understands what needs to be done to achieve good results and is working harder for victory. At the beginning of the season, we had both ups and downs, mainly because we couldn’t play with a full roster. Now we’re in full shape, and everyone is motivated to turn things around. We’re improving day by day and will try to perform better in the second round.”
Mackie also praised the level of the Azerbaijan Basketball League:
“The ABL’s level is very high, and there’s strong competition among the teams. Honestly, I expected this level, and the league has fully met my expectations.”
The American basketball player added that he is enjoying his life in Azerbaijan:
“My life in Azerbaijan is going very well. Baku is one of the most interesting and beautiful cities I’ve ever seen. The only difficulty is the language barrier, but people are very kind and hospitable.”
