2020 ends with an important victoryAllianz Basketball Trieste that on the Allianz Dome parquet beats the De ‘Longhi Treviso for 84 to 79 in what is the recovery of the 8th day of Legabasket Serie A.
At the end of the race the comment of Marco Legovich:
“It was an intense match, as we expected, Treviso has shown great energy, we have been good at staying united even in difficult moments not only technically but also with the right mentality, we helped each other. Obviously there have been some empty passes that are part of a team’s growth path, because we are still in the first part of the season and with many close matches. There have been some positive notes in the choral game even though we have not found the three-pointer that was one of our keys. We tightened the shirts in defense, we helped each other by perhaps losing a bit of clarity in the Treviso area but we certainly bring home an important and decisive result for our growth path. Now test Sunday that there is another very important race.
Udanoh out for technical choice? Honestly, at this moment I think it is right to talk about who has played. Those who played gave the answers we expected and those who played today PLAYED. The 10 players who played had a great match.
I wish everyone a better 2021 than the past one, I wish the fans to return to the palace as soon as possible because without them it is not the same “.
A team choral test with 10 players and a rediscovered Italian axis with the important presence of two of the red and white veterans, Knight e Yes Ros present in the press room for post-match statements.
Daniele Cavaliero comments the performance of his team: “It was an excellent match, we managed to keep Treviso under 40 points in the first half, in the second half we managed to keep on defending, there were some flaws but we were good . Now nothing changes, it’s a growth process that has had a hitch that other teams have also had, I don’t want to find any excuses, this victory is definitely a step forward. Now we have to recharge our batteries and start working again as if this match had never been played because on Sunday we are back on the pitch and we must have the same hunger as today ”.
Of the same opinion too Matteo Da Ros: “We were good at stopping Treviso’s attack, which is one of the best in the league, good guards and the wards against a great Logan, one of the top of the league and second best scorer. We have done what we have prepared in the last few days, obviously there have been mistakes but basketball is a game of mistakes and whoever makes fewer mistakes wins, and today we probably made fewer than Treviso. Now nothing has changed, we were not few days ago and we are not phenomena today, we are working and we hope the fruit of patience will be a sweet fruit ”.
A comment also on the rotations on the field and on the incisiveness of the old guard, Knight: “The large rotations helped us because we play every three days and it is right that the second lines are ready. Here I am only old (laughs). The old guards know this city and this team better and we have learned to know and love it, in these moments we feel a little more responsible but today it was certainly a victory for the whole group. Today was a team victory because whoever entered gave everything. Everyone gave a little something and this is the right way to play! “
Also Yes Ros he reconnects to what his teammate said and adds: “I refer to what Dani said. The large rotations maybe sometimes don’t allow everyone to get into the game but today we were good and as I said in the first interview this year we have to put the group in front because there are no phenomena, there are only useful players. Today everyone was useful, some more, some less, some for a defense, some for a block or a rebound. Upson, who hadn’t played for several games, made an exceptional contribution and fresh forces came from the bench. Grazulis has always made the basket as well as in the second half Laquintana and Davide. This is a victory that comes from a work done by the group ”.
Finally, there is also space for end-of-year wishes, Daniele Cavaliero: “This 2020 was special, for us players not seeing our people when we enter the field is complicated but it is also true that this 2020 for us as men has allowed us to look inside and think, instead of looking outside. We hope this difficult experience can be a lesson. I hope that in 2021 we can continue to have the same compassion as this year for a friend, a companion, a person who may have difficulties. This match is definitely for our friend Toni who unfortunately lost everything, home and family restaurant in the earthquake in Croatia. We are close to him and we want it to be a 2021 full of many beautiful things. We are sure that we will make our future ”.
Matteo Da Ros concludes with a message to the red and white fans: “Cava was very explicit and profound, all our thoughts go to those who, like Toni, have lost something in recent days, but all of us in this 2020 have had to elaborate mental processes and live uncomfortable situations and I just miss people so much. Everyone misses it, it’s terrible and I, Cava, Juan, the captain, and all the others when we put on the jersey and enter the gym and when we go out on the pitch we want to bring all 7000 fans with us because we miss them! “.
