Bologna, November 11 –
Coach Dusko Ivanovic’s words at the end of Virtus – Efes, tenth round of the Euroleague: “A tough game against an excellent team with great offensive talent. The presence on the court of an opponent like Larkin – dangerous in creating opportunities for himself and for others – was a factor tonight. Today was an exception because I usually say that we have to win games with defence, but today we won thanks to our attack. However, it must be said that it was thanks to our defensive dedication in the last quarter that we managed to consolidate the result.
80% today from two and 53% from three compared to the lacklustre performance against Reggio Emilia? Every day is different: sometimes it’s sunny, sometimes it rains, sometimes it’s cloudy, and sometimes a player can shoot 10 out of 10 or shoot badly. Every game is different, and the important thing is the result.
Was it the best game of the year thanks to the concentration of every single player on the court when they took to the court? It certainly was, although I think there have been other games that were just as good. Tonight, everyone contributed something to make the team better.
