Asen Nikolov: I had a lot of remarks for the first half
BC Academic Bultex 99 is a step closer to the Final Four after beating Bashkimi at home. Here is what the head coach Asen Nikolov had to say after the game finished:
"We started playing more focused after the break and better in defense. We managed to steal some balls and to make fast breaks. Perhaps the fatigue got into Bashkimi′s players because they had a game on Sunday so we need to congratulate the team for fighting.
I′m happy mostly with the second half. I have a lot of remarks for the performance before that. The mistakes in those moments came due to the lack of concentration and motivation but we managed to correct the things at the break.
There are still a lot of games to be played. Our opponent are taking new players so the competition will be interesting."
Daishon Knight had 19 points against his former team and was the top scorer. Here is what he had to say:
"At the break we had a serious conversation in the locker room as our coach told us to be more aggressive. In the first part of the game we played like superstars. We had to be more aggressive and to make them work for their points. Sekulov came in and helped us with his hustle and desire and was one of the reasons for our advantage after the break. I′m happy with the second half which was great for us."
