Unger Steel Gunners Oberwart – BK IMMOunited Dukes 72:81 (44:42)
Horst Leitner (Unger Steel Gunners Oberwart head coach):
… On the game: “We are a young team, we are finally entering the phase where everyone was training for the first time yesterday and then there is a super fair action again and after 46 seconds Bieshaar comes out with knee problems again. That leaves its mark. “
… On the lack of Terrence Bieshaar: “It wasn’t difficult, it was dirty. This is the fair play team of the year. We have read many newspaper articles about how we are fair game. And that’s just dirty. “
… on the current situation and next steps: “In the end, this is our fourth injury caused by external influences. What should you do there? It becomes more difficult to find yourself as a team if you can never train or work as a team. (…) However: we will find ways to function as a team. It’s just a tough season, it’s a tough season for all the clubs. We are young and we have to fight to overcome it. “
Renato Poljak (Unger Steel Gunners Oberwart) before the game:
… when asked what will be different for the Gunners and him in 2021: “Nothing will be different in 2021. Our squad structure changed in December because we had a lot of injuries. We had to get closer, take on more responsibilities and that is what we did. And that’s why we win games. “
… On how his game improved as a result: “Because we had to play more compactly as a team. We couldn’t look for many different solutions, we had to target the weaknesses of our opponents and I was always part of them. “
Damir Zeleznik (BK IMMOunited Dukes head coach) before the game:
… On when Predrag Miletic will return: “Predrag did well. He recently underwent some tests and as it seems now, it will take a few more weeks before he can easily start training. “
… When asked if Miletic will be able to play again this season: “From my point of view, it doesn’t help us at all if he is forced to play now. It’s about your health and we want you to play with us for years to come. We will be very careful with him. “
Valentin Bauer (BK IMMOunited Dukes):
… On the game: “We started focused, that was very important. It’s always very difficult to play at Oberwart. It is a very physical team, they are very well trained, they have motivated, good, young players. So I haven’t won at Oberwart that often. I’m so happy today. (…) In the last games we continue to have problems with the defensive rebound. Today we recover with a relatively focused approach starting in the second quarter. “
… when asked if the Dukes have returned to everyday life after Corona’s break: “The Dukes have come when all the players are back and all the players are what they were before. I think this will take a long time. But today that was at least a step in the right direction. (…) Predrag (Miletic, note) cannot be replaced in the Austrian league. He is incredibly strong offensively and was also an incredible factor on defense in the last few months before Corona. All we can try is for everyone to try to get a little more out of it. “
… When asked what Valentin Bauer said about Valentin Bauer’s strong season: “Valentin Bauer has a team of very, very good and experienced players who have helped me tremendously in recent years. And I also have a coach who was a point guard himself and therefore knows very well how to show this type of player. (…) With Momo and Benni, I have had people in the last two years who have helped me a lot and have shown how this position really works. And that is priceless “.
Matthias Hager (Manager BK IMMOunited Dukes) before the game:
… On the recently completed registration of an American player: “This is a precautionary measure. We had to react. We’ll see how that plays out in the coming weeks. We are in touch and we are definitely prepared if necessary. “
… on when he should arrive in Austria: “It’s a bit difficult at the moment. Country entry requirements are not that simple. We’ll make sure he’s there next week and then we’ll see what we do. “
