There is still an away match on the path of La T Tecnica Gema, fresh from the first defeat after a series of five consecutive victories, which arrived last Sunday in Capo d’Orlando, in an evening of “many irons” (39% on 2-point shots and 23% from outside) and in any case almost achieved with a comeback that from -11 stopped at -1 in the final, confirming the compactness of a group that always knows how to react even in difficult moments.
On Sunday at 6pm at Pala Facchetti the rossoblu will visit Treviglio, a team they have already met twice in the season (the Super Cup semi-final in Ravenna in September) and the first leg, in both cases with Rubbini and his teammates winning, and which in the last round saw a positive streak of 4 rounds interrupted, after a very difficult November, losing clearly to Desio. “We have prepared carefully and scrupulously for another demanding journey against a top-level group – is the comment of Pallacanestro Montecatini coach, Marco Andreazza – On Sunday they will face two angry teams and veterans of two knockouts which have stopped their respective good moments, so the mental and motivation aspect will be fundamental in the approach to the match and in the reaction to the last match. During the week we mixed defensive and offensive work carefully, we are coming from a bad match in attack so I expect a high-quality basketball better, trying to take advantage of what Treviglio will be able to give us and the spaces that will be created. We will also need body, physique and athleticism on their ball handlers and their big men, remaining mentally strong in defense, against a team like that of my friend Villa which has a lot of talent with many men both outside and underneath.
The team will leave for Treviglio on Saturday afternoon after the morning training. Usual commentary on Lnp Pass for subscribers.
