Bologna, 15 May –
These are the words of Marco Belinelli in the post-game: “It was definitely a difficult game because we didn’t play good basketball, neither defensively nor offensively. Defensively we have to play a solid game, and in Game 3 away, we’ll face a team that has great forwards so we respect this team and stay with our feet on the ground because we won these two games at home. We’re a team capable of playing well on offense, and it was our goal to start in a good way in this Game 2 as well, doing it as a team looking good because it’s a team sport.”
These are the words of Jordan Mickey: “We know that we have only played and won the home games and now we have an important away game to close this series: now we just have to keep playing our game, continuing to capture rebounds and defending hard. The 100 points? We didn’t prepare anything special, we simply put on the court what we wanted to do, sharing the ball and playing as physically as possible.”
Awudu Abass also spoke after the game to the microphones of Radio Nettuno Bologna Uno: “It was a good test, playing two games in three days is never easy. We are a good group and we are compact, we help each other. Brindisi played an excellent match, they are a team that plays aggressively, especially in 1vs1: we will have to be good in the next match away from home, also because there will be a hot climate in Brindisi. The goal must be to play possession by possession, without thinking too much about what could be after Game 3: we want to play well, impose our basketball as we did in the first two games. Obviously it will be more difficult away, but I have confidence in my teammates.”
