Brindisi –
These are the words of Coach Banchi at the end of the game with Brindisi: “Congratulations to Brindisi for a well-deserved win that was the result of a very well approached game. We sensed from the very beginning that there was a different level of energy on the court, which we managed to reverse only at the end of the second period. Then also coming out of the locker room there was a third period where we conceded 30 points to Brindisi who dominated in the area and found with continuity and precision baskets from the arc that made our comeback very difficult. Yes, I had also analyzed in the presentation. These are competitions in which, if you are not careful how you play the game, there is on the one hand the possibility of playing without pressure, you play against the first in the standings no one expects a victory, it was conceivable. This is a team that however, with the return of Senglin has widespread talent on the perimeter and on a 50 percent three-point night then it becomes difficult. We know that this is a particular crowd setting that can give the right motivation and vibes, so the ingredients for the risk that there could be such a game were all there. I hoped in my heart that we had the sufficient experience, the adequate experience, especially in light of what happened in Cremona, to find the resources to play anyway. But that Brindisi would put on its best performance was quite evident. But this is a constant condition for us: that is, playing against a Euroleague team. I have been in this condition in the past, in the opposite condition, when you play with opponents like that there is all the will and desire to play the special game.”
