“I see that the team is in a good mood, better than in the BCL Final Four.”

Before Unicaja’s last training session before its start in the Copa del Rey, Ibon Navarro visited the media, already with everything connected and a shortened countdown, to face this trap before Lenovo Tenerife. “I see the team in a good mood, as in any away game, with the addition that we are here… Well, I see them in a good mood, better than the last situation we had, similar to that what now. These are sensations. We must play and do everything well on the field. He did not want to disclose the reset; it is logical that it would become known in the afternoon. “I don’t know the solution yet. If they don’t know, I won’t say it.”

“I’ve already explained that favoritism is just another thing in the press. If you seriously think about it, the fact that the owner has not won for 22 years, and that no one except him repeats Madrid and Barcelona, it takes the pressure off us because it’s impossible, just like last year, so there’s not a lot of pressure on us. Ours are the same as in Badalona. To become a champion, you need to do what almost no one else does, we try to focus on the game and what we need to do, give it our attention. History says we don’t have many options because no one repeats and the home team doesn’t win. These are different competitions where it doesn’t really matter whether you go. 1st or 2nd place in ACB, that’s different. And everyone has options. It’s not about a repeat, but rather about the first game and what we need to do to beat an opponent who is playing very well at the best moment of the season,” supports the message of the last few days.

“This year the plan is changing when we have several A’s, last year we only had one (Kravish), it’s about basketball; other than that, I insist on being myself, which means having fun and not worrying about things not related to basketball. When we’re good, we’re having fun, we’re working, we’re passing the ball, I think we’re hard to beat. If we think about other things, we become more human. I’m not worried about blood pressure. What I’m clear about is that we are a state of mind: if we’re having fun, people are having fun with us. And today we have the opportunity to visit Malaga. I hope we can give people pleasure,” said the national team coach. Unicaja. “I worry about everything Lenovo Tenerife. It is a great merit that, based on the results of the first six days, they managed to take the same position as last year. He’s in the top three in assists, makes a lot of shots, passes the ball well, has a great ability to find an advantage after a pass, Gio, Marcelinho, Guy, Jaime, so I can continue… This is a great team with a lot of experience. “It will be an even game.”
