TECHNICIAN’S COMPLIMENTS
The technician of Portland, Chauncey Billupsspared no praise for the shipowner’s performance: “That performance was a piece of art because of the way Damian kept the defense indecisive. When they tried to be aggressive, he ‘dug’ fouls. But when they were more cautious, he took advantage of the space to shoot. His passes came out easy after doubling the marking. It was, in short, a wonderful performance. Work of art”.
