At the end of the last practice preceding the game against Umana Reyer Venezia, valid for Round 10 of Techfind Serie A1, these were the words of coach Pierre Vincent: “Reyer is a really tough team that since the Supercoppa semifinal has recovered two extra longs, Kuier and Shepard. This changes their rotations under the basket, but they have a very long bench and a very open management of the bench itself. All the players put pressure all over the court and throughout the game, with lots of movement. It will be a difficulty for us because we have girls who play more and managing this pace will be complex. We have found solutions to manage them that we will try to reuse, in the semifinals we succeeded but now we will have to figure out how to succeed again with the addition of Kuier and Shepard. In the Super Cup we had played a good game on defense, this time it will be more difficult for us, while we had not done very well on the offensive side. We definitely have to improve if we want to win the game, we have to understand what they do, how they do it and exploit our strengths. The biggest difficulty for us will be to control the pace of the game, their players are very fast and have a much longer bench.”
