"We were unlucky somewhere. However, we started the game very bad, because not many things were going well in attack."
Endar Poladkhanli, the captain of the "Sabah" basketball club of Azerbaijan, told Idman.us.
He evaluated the defeat (75:80) to "Mornar" of Montenegro in the first round of the European Cup. According to Poladkhanli, they were able to recover later in the match: "Only in the second half of the game, in the 4th period - in the last 10 minutes, we showed a true basketball should be played. I don't want to make excuses for the refereeing, but today was terrible - two of our players left the field, there were a lot of fouls. Our mistake in this situation is that we could not control our emotions and resorted to these provocations. Not to mention that the game has serious difficulties. But it was irritating to play against impolite players, and the referees turned a blind eye. This was the biggest difficulty."
It should be noted that "Sabah" will play the next match on October 25 in Baku against "Bahcesehir College" of Türkiye. The match will start at 19:00.
