Will yet another dearly paid lesson become a new starting point? From the disappointment of Sassari last Saturday at will, against Reggio Emiliato once again patch up the many question marks raised after a dull performance, already seen too many times this season. Yet another weekend based on collections, the one that the Trieste Basketball intends to give himself: tomorrow at 6.15pm (Marziali, Miniati and that will referee Lanzarini that I return to Valmaura after the maxi-disqualification of the red and white parquet last April…) there is a Unahotels – hunting for points to replenish an asphyxiated ranking – to be beaten without “buts” and without “ifs”. And he knows it well Israel Gonzalez that the right approach will be needed, after the… disappointments of last weekend at Dinamo where the ghosts of the recent past have returned to show themselves.
“For us a key point is to start matches better. We cannot allow easy baskets and we must not lose offensive balls that generate counterattacks. These are aspects that affect the pace and we need to improve there.” Easy on paper, much more problematic when you think of Reggio recovering after the victory in the Europe Cup in Zagreb during the week. “They have a lot of quality. At the beginning they suffered from injuries, but now they have Cheatham back and in the last two games they have added Thor, who brings athleticism and lengthens the rotations. The team is deeper and even more competitive. I expect an approach made of intensity, physicality, determination and high concentration for the entire forty minutes. Against a physical team like Reggio, it is fundamental.”
