Coaches' Reactions After Paris Basketball vs. Partizan Belgrade Match
Francesco Tabellini (Paris Basketball): Paris Basketball coach Francesco Tabellini analyzed the game in two distinct phases. He noted that the first half, despite some errors preventing his team from taking the lead, was not entirely negative. The second half, however, was deemed disappointing. Despite good energy, the team struggled to convert their shots, while their opponents were successful. This led to frustration and a loss of cohesion. Tabellini highlighted a breakdown in team identity, with players no longer playing for each other and conceding easy dunks, calling it "the perfect recipe for disaster." He also commented on Nadir's performance, who was excellent in the first half but, as his shots stopped falling, struggled to involve his teammates β an area he must improve to become a world-class point guard.
Joan Penarroya (Partizan Belgrade): Partizan Belgrade coach Joan Penarroya acknowledged the challenge of facing Paris so soon after a previous game, given their fast-paced style. He praised his team's ability to adapt and effectively control Paris's offensive transitions in the second half, which secured a crucial victory. Penarroya paid tribute to Nick Calathes, describing him as one of Euroleague's most important players over the past fifteen years, appreciating his experience, work ethic, and role as an exemplary teammate. He emphasized that Calathes' impact often transcends his statistics, despite an excellent performance that evening. Finally, the coach extended a warm thank you to Partizan supporters, whose passionate backing, even on the road, creates a home-like atmosphere and provides invaluable assistance, particularly in critical moments.
