The words of Assistant Coach Andrea Diana on the eve of the game with Sassari: “It will be very important to have a tough and physical approach against a team like Sassari that offensively is second in points scored, with 84 points per game. Plus they are first under two important statistical headings: assists, 19 per game, and three-point shooting percentage, which is at 40 percent. Starting with our defensive transition and pressure on their outsides will be important to try to lower these percentages. As always, rebounding will be a key, avoiding allowing Sassari second shooting opportunities while on the other side of the court, on offense, we will have to share the ball well without stopping it, finding balanced attacks with all players involved.”
