Trento –
Coach Banchi spoke in the press conference after the win over Trento: “We are satisfied with this double trip that brings us two important successes and allows us to look forward to the next cycle with confidence. Tonight we found technical resources and energy within a staff that has potential to find a precise direction: after an overpowering start we got a little lost, suffering Trento’s athleticism and liveliness. We conceded a lot in rebounding and on the counterattack, then in the second half we rebounded better. The rebounding figure is one of the things that left me less satisfied: we have Cacok who has to try to find a dimension within a situation and a league that are new to him. In a contest like this our center cannot finish with zero defensive rebounds: for the level to which we aspire to compete on this we have to improve. In the second half we worked better preventively: one of the significant data of the second quarter is related to fouls committed, we ended with only one team foul making the second before halftime, not a good sign. For rebounds, the responsibility is obviously on everyone but we must have the need to progress in rebounding: tonight the turnover led us to give up Dunston but still we must not lose consistency and physical presence.”
