Ecco the answer that we hoped to see. The one that in fact cannot solve in one fell swoop the many “sins of youth” of this team, but which gives that crumb of self-esteem that was needed like bread for the whole group. With These-1-1 the playing is already put behind us and the 1-0 in the series, tomorrow evening in Valmaura (two-ball at 8.00 pm) la Trieste Basketball can give himself the passage of the turn in BCL against the Hungarians of Szolnok. The “Round of 16” they are now only one victory away and it is undeniable that the clear affirmation of the Epiphany can be seen as a new starting point. But be careful not to give up on an opponent who, as seen in the first match, has many excellent arrows to put the Julians in difficulty.
“Yesterday’s match saw us as protagonists of one of the best defenses fielded so far” explains Israel Gonzalez, coach Giuliano. “We managed to maintain a high level for all 40 minutes thanks to the effort and good communication of the players. Controlling Somogyi, who leads his team’s attack and distributes an average of 10 assists per game, was fundamental: we managed to limit him to just 2 assists. The defensive solidity gave us confidence to play with less nervousness in the offensive phase. We shared the ball well, looking for the best solutions and building a team performance. Yesterday’s performance is a source of satisfactionalso considering the difficulty of playing at close range from the previous match and after a long journey.”
On the difficulty of we are 2Gonzalez is clear: “We cannot lower our guard because they have shown that they are dangerous and capable of putting anyone in difficulty. Tomorrow, in front of our audiencewe hope to reduce the impact of fatigue and keep your head and legs cool to face an intense match like the previous one. I expect a team focused, determined and ready to play together like yesterday.”
