Venice –
At the end of the game, Coach Lardo spoke in press conference: “Before this game I said we would face the Italian Champions, almost all of their players are used to playing games like this, while we still need to gain experience, starting with this game, clearly we are sorry, but at the same time we must analyze what we did on the court. As long as we had energy, especially defensively, we played well, but in the second half we got a little jammed in offense against their mixed defense, losing energy in thinking how to attack and giving up in defense, but I repeat, we fought against very experienced players. Having said that we can definitely resume the series, taking into account a very important detail, we hope that the referee’s criteria remains the same as today because we did not adapt and we suffered a lot of their physicality and hands on, if this is to be the criteria of the playoffs we will adapt and we will have to have this competitive spirit. “
