The session is scheduled for tomorrow at the PalaCamagna in Tortona at 10am, after which departure for Trieste is scheduled. The series moves to the AlmaArena where game 3 will be played on Saturday at 20,30pm, game 4 will be played on Monday at the same time. The possible game 5 is scheduled for Thursday at 21pm at the PalaOltrepo in Voghera. Valerio Cucci will certainly not be in the group that will face Alma Trieste in game 3. Today at 19pm the player will undergo the first instrumental test after the injury in game 2 in the back area of the ankle.
The day after the beautiful victory in game 2 against Trieste, coach Demis Cavina analyzes the match in which he was unable to count on Davide Alviti for the second consecutive game, who was out due to a finger injury. «Certainly the choices dictated by injuries also changed the rotation during the match. The skill of the boys is that they were ready. As with Mantua, the opposing defense was focused on our strengths. Unlike race 1 we were ready, it was a good race and credit goes to the collective. Our thoughts go to Valerio Cucci, today we will know the extent of the injury." The coach reiterates the concept of "collective", an extra weapon of the Juventus Lions who won on the Voghera parquet by showing off a great defense. «We are a team that offensively has marked objectives and responsibilities, yesterday too the defense made the difference. Everyone defended strongly, we approached the match well against a tough team that plays with many solutions and has many players. We weren't able to worry them in game 1 because we were too imprecise in attack. Yesterday, managing to run more and finding some baskets in transition, we responded to the call. And it was not an obvious situation given the premises and the problems that arose during the match."
