Players of Mega Leks were defeated by the team of Tenerife with 73:98 and finished their first season in Europe in the history of the club, taking 7th place in Group D of the Champions League with 4 triumphs from 14 matches.

One of the most prominent in the ranks of Mega was Alpha Kaba with 13 points and 16 rebounds and the young center has finished Champions League as the second rebounder of the competition with 9.8 rebounds per game. At a press conference after the match, Kaba was brief:

– I do not have much to say after this match. We played very badly today, so we have lost with such a difference,

said Kaba.

Coach of Mega Leks Dejan Milojevic said that the Mega played their weakest game in the Champions League:

– Congratulations to the team of Tenerife on win. They have an outstanding season so far, they are second in the domestic championship and first in the group in the Champions League. We played very badly and I can say that this is our the weakest match in the FIBA ​​Champions League. The guests were better in all aspects of the game and that’s why they deserve such a convincing win. It will be very important that as soon forget this match, because we already on Saturday are expecting a very important game in the ABA league against MZT Skopje,

said coach of Mega.

One of the most prominent team in Tenerife was Marius Grigonis with 15 points, who was very happy after the game:

– This was a very important win for us, because with this victory we secured first place in our group. I am very happy about it, and now we turn to the tournament,

said Grigonis.

The coach of the Spanish team Hesus “Txus” Vidorreta said that his team did a great job in defense:

– We had problems in the first five minutes because of the great aggressiveness of Mega Leks in defense and their good jump. We lost a few balls at the start, but after we gained confidence and played much better. We’ve done a great job in defense and with a good game in attack and excellent percentage of shot, we controled events on the ground. This was a very important win for us, because the first part of the competition we finished in first place in the D group. This victory is very important for us and for the rest of the season where we are expecting more games. We should not forget that the Mega Leks before only 15 days on this same ground beat Strasbourg, and we get convincing victory here, which is another reason for satisfaction,

said Vidorreta
