Tuomas Iisalo: “We believe in ourselves”

This Saturday, after the 81-65 victory at Saint-Quentin, the coach of Paris Basketball reacted in the post-game conference:

“We never underestimate our opponents. We knew it would be difficult to play here, against a team that is strong at home. They won 16 of their 17 matches here last season in the PRO B division.

In any case, we can see that whatever the team, we always start from 0 at kick-off. What’s more, we saw a match between two competitive teams today”.

“We showed that we know how to win in other ways, that even without great luck on our shooting, we know how to win. That’s one of our strengths, our DNA. Even when Saint Quentin came back from three points down, I didn’t panic. It’s only the second game of the season. We believe in ourselves, and above all the guys believe in their team-mates. That’s fundamental”.
