From keeping their cool in style in front of trash talkers, to being relieved after achieving narrow, yet important victories, here’s some of the top reactions of EuroLeague players on Twitter after the first Week of the new season.
CSKA Moscow entered the new season with some obvious wild intentions and last season’s MVP of… everything, was pleased with it.
Great first win on the road vs. Galatasaray to start this new @EuroLeague season 😉 #CSKA #RoadToIstanbul

From the same match: While Galatasaray didn’t match the reigning champs’ strength, Alex Tyus certainly enjoyed the hot atmosphere in “Abdi Ipekci”
Atmosphere was turned up to the max!!! @galatasaraysk @gsbasketmedya #istanbul #turkey https://t.co/HNpdlWwhLf

The result matters for Gigi Datome as Fenerbahce got into trouble vs a resilient Brose Baskets, but won the match in the last possession.
A win is a win! But still we have to stay together and keep on working a lot! It was good to come back to play at @ulkersportsarena ! pic.twitter.com/mQvIJQDWUP

Tyrese Rice answered more than smoothly to some trash talk he received after the victory of Barcelona vs Unics Kazan in Russia. How cool is this guy?
I agree. But we won. Lol. ?? https://t.co/26E1j3Gzau

In the fiery “Hala Pionir” Dairis Bertans and Darussafaka Dogus escaped with a previous road win against tough to beat Crvena Zvezda. Quite the fine way for the Latvian way to remember his Euroleague debut.
The first one is in the books! Glad we got that win in one of the toughest courts in europe!! #Euroleague

Justin Doellman and his Barcelona teammates struggled for 35 minutes vs Unics Kazan but in the end they emerged victorious.
Nothing is easy but we stayed together and prevailed. #RoadKill#TeamWin

After the win vs Brose Bamberg, nothing was more important for James Nunnally than rushing to the Ulker Arena seats in order to lift his daughter (dressed in Fenerbahce colors) in his arms.
