In its 11th league match, our representative Fenerbahçe Tarfin will take the court in France, away to Paris Basketball.

Jasikevicius noted that the opponent's form is high. The head coach, reminding that Paris scores about 100 points per game, said they have also observed that the team has really found its rhythm in recent wins. According to him, they face a very difficult game.

Jasikevicius asked his team to match the opponent's intensity, to defend well in the first eight seconds of each possession, and not to allow three-point attempts. Stressing that the game will be played in a great atmosphere, he added that Paris is a team that plays at a high tempo, runs fast in transition, and shoots a lot of threes. He said they must be prepared for this on defense and do their part on offense.
