Bologna –<\/p>\n

At the end of the game open microphones for Achille Polonara, MVP of the day with 10 points scored and a lot of presence under the boards (8 rebounds)<\/strong>: \u201cWe were loaded we wanted to finish the year well and we succeeded. And now we hope that 2025 will be rosier than 2024. I think Ivanovic has brought great positivity, we are all very happy with his arrival and I think he will give us a great m no with his experience For me it is an honor to play with Pajo, he is a great friend and a great player, besides being from Ancona like me. He is one of the rarest players in modern basketball and we are so happy to have him with us.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Another star of the match Rayjon Tucker who took off in the second half with three baskets including a dunk deserving of the Segafredo Arena’s standing-ovation<\/strong> \u201cI thank my teammates for encouraging me in the difficult moments, obviously it’s a different role from last year, but I want to make the fans happy. I am a winner and I try to do what it takes to make my team win. The dunk? They don’t call me ‘The Fly’ by accident, expect more of that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Matt Morgan, who was ready again this time with two threes to score, released the following to the microphones of Virtus Segafredo Podcast<\/a>:<\/strong> \u201cI didn’t know about the mathematical qualification to the F8 of the Italian Cup, good for us. We controlled the game for all 4′ minutes, we were good at managing it, playing as a team, we didn’t allow Scafati to gain confidence. As for the Italian Cup, we want to try to win it, hoping to get there in the best possible condition.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
