Towards Bertram Derthona – Latina Basket. Coach Lorenza Pansa: “We are playing against one of the fittest teams in the championship”

Friday at Leoni for Bertram Derthona, expected tomorrow evening at 20.00 pm from the championship match against Latina. The Bianconeri will face one of the best opponents in the championship, who in the last month and a half have lost by inches on two very difficult pitches such as Biella and Scafati and who are coming off three consecutive successes, the last of which was achieved at home against the league leaders Casale Monferrato. 

Coach Lorenzo Pansa is aware of the importance of the match, fundamental for the sprint towards the play-offs: "We are playing against one of the best teams in the championship who are coming off three consecutive victories, all of great prestige, and are in full swing to winning the play-offs. They play extremely attacking basketball in attack and have a great ability to tacticalize matches defensively. We will have to be good at managing the pace of the match by producing a great defensive effort to limit their great offensive productivity."

The Juventus coach then wanted to focus on the Latina Basket roster: "Latina boasts an extremely compatible pair of Americans in the long lines, made up of the verticality and dynamism of Hairston and the great offensive talent of Raymond, to whom he combines a set of full-backs from players with points in their hands like Saccaggi and Pastore and others with great balance like Tavernelli and Ranuzzi. Regardless of the opponent in question, our first objective must be to focus on ourselves, seeking our offensive fluidity and our defensive compactness which distinguished us up until the home match against Legnano."
