The words of Assistant Coach Andrea Diana on the eve of the game: “We are 5 days from the end of the first half of the season and so every team is playing to reach their goals. We meet Brescia, which is a hungry team and wants to get points to qualify for the Italian Cup. They have included two very good players like Nikolic and Taylor who have already fit well into the team group as the win on a difficult court like Ljubljana showed. They have a deep roster, Della Valle is their first point but also Massinburg and Gabriel in the last few games have grown considerably not only in points scored but also in average three-point shooting. Brescia struggles a lot inside the area, they are third in offensive rebounds. We will have to give all our energy by putting aggressiveness from a defensive standpoint against a team that is good at passing the ball and often attacks for all 24 seconds. It will be necessary to stay focused and take the opportunity to steal a ball or capture a rebound.”
