Hrvoje Peric vs Achille Polonara, 2015 championship semi-final
Venice and Reggio Emilia have already faced each other in an epic championship semi-final in the 2015 playoffs which ended in game 7, in a fiery Taliercio. It was the people of Reggio who gained the pass for the final which was then won by Sassari… again in 7 matches. Great protagonists embellished the series such as Julyan Stone, Phil Goss, Tomas Ress, Hrvoje Peric, Jeff Viggiano, Spencer Nelson and Benjamin Ortner on the Reyerina side, Rimantas Kaukėnas, Drake Diener, Andrea Cinciarini, Darjuš and Kšyštof Lavrinovič, Achille Pollonara on the Reggio side.
Marigold Spahi
We have prepared everything necessary to tackle this series. It will certainly be complicated because Reggio Emilia is a good team, but we are very clear about what we want to do in defense and attack. We are physically well and all the players are available.
They are talented, they cover all roles with two players and we will have to respond to their physicality and be aggressive. We want to play our basketball more than theirs. The pitch factor matters a lot and we feel Taliercio’s push a lot, he will help us a lot on Saturday and Monday. The previous playoff experience will certainly help us a lot, in these matches we need to do more.
