The great protagonist of the victory against Bosnia was undoubtedly Simone Fontecchio, author of 39 points (sixth best all-time performance for an Italian with the national team). “I am happy mainly for the victory because it was not at all obvious,” he said to the Sky microphones. “We did an excellent job and it was not easy: they are a physically very toasting team, they led us at the beginning and in the end, he wanted to make a basket. We know that Nurkic is a very important player for them: we did a fairly good job, he hasn’t played for nothing for 10 years in NBA, he is a Mr. player. He put us in difficulty, but also as a team we managed to help us, to double it. What we were doing, take a little more rebounds in defense that had hurt us in the first half and continue to pass the ball in attack. reset, rest and start preparing the game. “
