(Beijing, 24 April) - Comments from Jung Duk Hwa (KOR), Alberto Zabala (CUB) and Isneidis Casanova Gonzalez (CUB) after Cuba beat Korea 78-66.
Jung Duk Hwa (KOR) - Coach
On losing the game:
"Our rebounds were not good. That's problem everyone knows. Our point guard No.6 (CHOI Youn Ah) was injured, so I let No.4 (KIM Yeong Ok) play. But she didn't team up with the others very well. We also had many turnovers."
Alberto Zabala (CUB) - Coach
On winning the game:
"We defended their three-pointers and rebounds well. We were very good at free throws, 22 out of 26."
On preparation for the up-coming qualification tournament:
"We are confident all the time. We have faith in the coming qualification round in Madrid in June. It is a big challenge. But it is not impossible. We are well prepared. We played Brazil in January. We played well in this tournament. And we are going to play some games in Europe in May. We are confident to come back in August."
Isneidis Casanova Gonzalez (CUB) - Guard
On winning the game:
"We did a lot of work in defense. Our three-pointers and rebounds were good. And we ran fast."
