This is coach Giampiero Ticchi’s analysis ahead of tomorrow’s match: “We have reached the playoff semifinals, where the games count and begin to have an important specific weight.
Tomorrow we will face Geas, a team in great shape able to beat Sassari in two games deserving this result: they are playing very well right now. Their roster is deep so we will have to challenge them in terms of rhythm, disrupting it, since they have many schemes and execute them in an excellent way. Advances and aggressiveness will be the key, while on offense we will have to take the opportunities we get because they will be aggressive, taking away our points of reference. We will have to be good at keeping our pace and take full advantage of their weaknesses without conceding ours to them.”
Kitija Laksa also analyzed Game-1 this way: “Tomorrow we will definitely have a tough game ahead of us, but it’s the play offs: it’s win or go home so we will have to play the game we have prepared and just think about doing our thing the right way because we just want the win.
The fans? They are the reason we are here: it’s great to play in front of so many people here at PalaDozza because it helps us give even more, creating a unique atmosphere and we want to repay them with so much affection.”
