Gerald discovered that “they wanted much more than we did.”

Coach of Hiopos Lleida, Coach Gerard Fiend lamented that his players “wanted more wins” after losing their sixth straight game against Fontaggio (103-86) on Sunday. The attitude of both teams was the deciding factor in the final result.

“There is desire in the team, there is no laziness, but there are moments when our rivals have more desire than us,” Feind said before assuming that Lleida’s team were in a “slightly negative loop”.

In this sense, Find also recognizes that the team is looking at the “smallest ring.” “When you have a negative power relationship and things don’t go well, you get confused and get stuck in a loop.”

The coach asserted that in the first half (54-44) his team was “always a second behind when we wanted to”, but that Girona played with “more than one point of energy”.

Fiend lamented that his rivals won 18-5 in offensive rebounds, 41-27 overall, and also made 18 field goals. “That’s almost an entire quarter,” he said.

According to the coach, in the second half Lleida increased their “defensive intensity” and showed “a little more will” and were able to close in on six points, but “minor details” prevented them from leveling the score, and in the end Girona “broke the game”.

Fiend also stressed the importance of “getting mentally strong” and “all continuing to work together” at this point in the season.
