"Well, it's amazing. It's amazing to pass a legend like Navarro. I'm really happy but I am more happy about the win. I think the most important thing is that we put the 1-0 on this series, and now we have to focus on Thursday."
The Spanish guard is known for his "mandarina" shots, which he often makes. In the EuroLeague, Llull is averaging 1.5 three-pointers made every game.
