PRE-GAME QUOTES

Georgios Bartzokas, BC Khimki head coach:

“Maccabi’s coming like us with a very bad result. I’m very curious to see how both teams will react after these losses. As I said, we need to compromise with the idea that losing is a part of this very tough competition. I’m really curious how both teams will play tomorrow. Maccabi is a team that has two very good ball handlers and creators. At the same time, they are a very strong offensive rebounding team; they play with a lot of energy; their rhythm is sometimes really fast. It’s gonna be a difficult game for them, but also for us. Every game is a different story, and immediately you need to adjust to any situation”.

Charles Jenkins, BC Khimki guard:

“Another tough EuroLeague game against a really good team. Maccabi’s coming of a loss similar to ours so they will be motivated to come here and play against us. We have to do the best we can to mass our intensity and do a lot of things better than yesterday, trying to win. They have really good guard plays in Norris Cole and Pierre Jackson, they are very quick getting up into the transition; Deshaun Thomas is a very good player as well. They have a really good roster and talent. Playing against Tyus and Parakhouski we have to protect our rebounding. We have to execute in the offense well trying to get some easy baskets”.
