JP Batista is a key pillar on coach José Neto's team. In the victory over Botafogo, the center once again dominated the red-and-black paint, finishing with 17 points and 5 rebounds.
After the match, the number 13 highlighted that despite being a competition, the Copa Avianca is just preparation for the South American League.
"We still have a lot to improve. We can't estimate our maximum potential in this tournament, so we have to be cautious. The season is long, and our goal is the South American League. We can't come here with the ambition of winning every game and exhausting the entire squad. There are six games in seven days; we won't have such a high volume of games in the entire season, so we have to be smart. The coaching staff has done a very good job, and Neto asks us to focus on the time we're on the court, whether it's five, ten, or fifteen minutes," concluded JP.
