Marjan Ilievski, head coach of KB Sigal Prishtina: We have the psychological advantage

KB Sigal Prishtina is visiting BC Rilski Sportist with 2-point advantage from the first game in EUROHOLD Balkan League Final. Here is what the head coach of the team - Marjan Ilievski, had to say less than 24 hours before the game:

"We played three games this season with Rilski and we have positive score from all of them. First we won away and then we won twice at home. The difference in the first two matches was bigger while in the last game, which like each Final is much harder, won by 2. Still this gives us some psychological advantage - because to defeat a team three times and not to have loss against them, gives mental advantage. The pressure we had on our home court now has turned to Rilski on its home. We are ready to play this game and I hope that the players are ready for the things I would want from them and for the way to reach easier our goal.

In the first game we had bad three-point shooting percentage which was the first time we had this. We didn′t use the fact that Rilski was in bonus the last quarter and I′m once again going back to our bad play and the excellent by the visitors. Still though we were the winners and I believe that we are going to use the weak sides of the opponent. I don′t have nothing to change. I would just like if we have an advantage to keep it and not to repeat the mistakes from the first game."
