Even though a week has gone by, the taste of victory remains for Power Electronics Valencia, the freshly crowned Eurocup champion. One player who perhaps savors the achievement more than any other is big man Matt Nielsen, the Eurocup Finals MVP. The Australian native was the only Valencia player to have previously played in and lost a Eurocup final. He made sure that didn’t happen twice by anchoring his team in Vitoria. Nielsen was the second-best scorer in a high-scoring semifinal win over Panellinios Opap and then the top rebounder and leader of a record-setting defensive effort in the final. After taking a little bit of time to reflect, Nielsen spoke to Eurocupbasketball.com about the celebrations, the games at the Eurocup finals and the feeling of being a champion. "As far as I can remember, it was the best defensive game I have ever been part of," Nielsen told Eurocupbasketball.com of the title game against Alba Berlin. And he remains on cloud nine when talking about being a Eurocup champion. "There is nothing better that lifting a European trophy. The success of being a European champion is, for sure, the number one feeling. Whatever happens, will happen, but the cup is the important thing, definitely the best feeling."
