The Reggiana Basketball brought home two points and coach Dimitris Priftis (photo) is more relieved: “It’s an injection of confidence, important and morale-boosting, but a lot remains to be done – and he added – We played well from the start, managing to accumulate a nice lead, which we were good at managing and maintaining until the end. It was a match that brought with it a lot of tension, because we knew we had to win it. We are obviously happy with the result, now we have to build on this victory, playing even better”.
On the feeling of the group in the locker room he specifies: “We are going through a difficult phase of the championship, but the group is united, there is no one rowing in another direction. We must always play with this sense of responsibility, something that has been missing in other situations”. On singles he goes unbalanced and says: “The best player on the pitch this time in my opinion was the point guard Lorenzo UgliettiI love it more than others, but everyone gave their contribution.”
On the new entry JT Thor he adds: “He is settling in, he will need time, the basketball played in Europe is very different from what he was used to in the States.”
They are Stephen Brown: “He is certainly a player who has helped us and will help us in the next matches, with Caupain he forms a good duo and is good at fueling the perimeter game both in the defensive phase, both offensively and defensively, he knows how to create good situations for his teammates.”
The red and white winger is also in the press room Luca Severiniscorer of 8 points, who said: “Apart from the final result, it was an important victory, we tried to start well and play with intensity throughout the match. However, we lost a few too many balls.”
Looking at the next rounds, between the cup and the championship, they will be played every 4 days: “We will have to manage the situation well to find a continuity of result, we will no longer have the whole week to train”.
