Comment by the head coach of BC “Prometey” Ronen Ginzburg the day before the team debut in the EuroCup playoffs.

- Coach, you have lost four main players, but still won the final. You have fantastic 47 wins in the season! Are you ready for another one, 48th victory, on Tuesday?

- I wish. You know, this is a “do or die” game. Yes, we have a lot of hurt basic players players but, you know, I trust the guys. They have shown that in all games that even some players missed, they do their best and most of the time we win. We play against good teams, but if we come, we will fight. So it doesn’t matter how many players we miss.

- “Hamburg” lost to “Ulm” yesterday by a big score and they are in 14 place in the local Bundesliga. What can you say about “Hamburg” and about their defence, first of all?

- First of all, yesterday they played without two important players. And I believe, that against us, the will play. “Hamburg” is a team with a really good discipline, with very smart players. They know how to move the ball. Against everything. Even when they lost to “Grand Canaria” or “Hapoel Tel Aviv”, everyone was tired until the end of the game. Their strengths, of course, is their defence and also they are really good at offensive rebounds. We need to find a solution for this.

- “Hamburg” has the most turnovers in the EuroCup. How should “Prometey” play against them?

- For sure, if we played with all the players – with Agada, Kennedy, Stephens and Denys, we could put a lot of pressure. We are the best stealing team in the league. But right now,we are a little bit different than before. I hope, we can steal some balls, but we need to cause them to turnovers. I don’t know how much we can.
