Furthermore, the Celtic commander made a point of saying that he doesn’t see much of a difference between the two sports either, as both are about “creating advantages”, according to Joe. The coach even showed a video to his players in which Pep Guardiola talks to his team about the match that is about to start.
“When I watch football or basketball, it’s kind of the same sport. From a tactical point of view, it’s about creating advantages. How do you create two-on-one situations? How do you identify weaknesses in the defense and how do you take advantage of angles?“, added Joe Mazzulla in the conversation.
The interview also addressed other points such as the connection between attack and defense in basketball, which are generally seen as completely different moments in the game. For Joe, both are connected, which has been working, as there are 45 wins and only 12 losses so far in the league’s regular season.
