Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul guard: Ali Muhammed
"We expect a tough game. It's been a long season, so we want to come out and try to perform well early and try to win. This is a bigger stage [than our previous games against Efes]. The world is watching. We gotta do what we did last year to try to get to the final again. We're pretty experienced as a team. We have a lot of guys who have been playing together for some time and we've been in this position before, so we know what to expect. We know the situation and we know what the pressure feels like. We're a little calmer. We're a championship team. I remember my first Final Four in Berlin; I was anxious, but still ready to play."
Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul forward: Nicolo Melli
"Injuries are part of the game. All season long you are dealing with them. Unfortunately, we're not super-fit at the moment, we wanted to be in better shape, but it is what it is. We're going to try to play our best game possible, and of course, without Gigi and Joffrey we will change our plan a little bit, but we have enough quality players to overcome this situation... [Efes] will try to play their best game, but we'll see. We have played a lot against them, we won and lost, all six games were different, and tomorrow will be totally different again. It’s 40 minutes, you have to play from the first to the last."
Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul guard: Marko Guduric
"We know each other really well and I think the key on Friday will be our aggressiveness and energy, and of course, rebounding. We need rebounding to stop their transition because they are a great and talented team that is playing great this season. Those are some basic things we need to do to be able to hope for good things to happen in the semifinals."
