Coach Banchi: “Maccabi comes to Bologna on the heels of two convincing successes. The victory in Lyon, just a few hours ago, once again presented them as a decidedly complex team to face, thanks to their speed, athleticism and technical talent. Lorenzo Brown, Wade Baldwin, Colson, along with Blatt, Cleveland and Webb, represent one of the most prolific external departments in the Euroleague, capable of imposing frenetic rhythms to the game and enhancing the incisiveness of Nebo and Rivero, centers who are guaranteeing a high performance made of aggressiveness and defensive intimidation, as well as a high incisiveness in two-way games and offensive rebounding. We will try to control the pace of the contest as best we can by resting on offensive execution and defensive consistency, which will allow us to limit their main sources of games, with the desire to give another memorable night to our indomitable fans.”
Cordinier: “We have a big game ahead of us, we need to look ahead. We come from another great match yesterday against Barcelona. We need to keep building on what we have learned and improve every day. Maccabi is a very athletic team, they play very well defensively, we will have to play the ball well and use our physicality.”
