Efes are leading the series 2-1 and tomorrow they'll have their first match point to close the series and advance to the EuroLeague Final Four.

Armani Exchange's head coach Ettore Messina introduced the game, knowing how hard it'll be for his team to get a win on the road against Efes.

"We have our backs against the wall, we know that", coach Messina stated. "So we'll prepare this game as we always did during this series, knowing that Efes have great individual talent and tons of experience".

"To win we'll need to play an almost perfect game", coach Messina added. "In Game 3, we played hard and we took the lead with 5 minutes left. In Game 4, we'll try to recreate the same situation but this time we'll need to finish better".

Spanish point guard Sergio Rodriguez played very well in Game 3 despite not being at 100% of his condition due to an ankle injury. The veteran player knows how important Game 4 will be for his team.

"We played a good Game 3 with some off moments and at the end, their talent made the difference", Rodriguez explained. "Game 4 will be the most important game of our season, we'll need to be ready from the get going, showing a lot of attention and energy. We've been working for months to arrive at this moment and even with several absences and injured players, we'll be ready to give our best".
