Antonietti: «I have improved and I feel the coach's trust»
In the last match against Barcelona he carved out his space Luca Antonietti. The 21-year-old, 198 centimeters (94 kg), has made thirteen appearances this season. «Since the beginning of the year I think I have improved, I see that the coach is happy and includes me in the rotations with more confidence: this makes me very happy. When I arrived my goal was to earn the coach's trust, now I'm trying to improve my outside shooting and defense." After having played in the under 17 championship at Pms in Moncalieri, he then moved to Agropoli in Serie B (2013-2014) and last year he cut his teeth at Crocetta in Serie C. This year the youngster learns from players of value like Brocks with whom he is often paired in training. «From the beginning of the year in training it often happens that we have to mark him: he is tiring, but I feel improved - he smiles - in general I learn from everything, I watch Reati when he shoots and how his teammates defend. I'm trying to increase my physicality. Since I have fewer centimeters I try to gain weight." Antonietti lives in Tortona with Markus Nicola where he has settled in well. «We live behind the PalaCamagna and when we can we go to the building to shoot a bit. Tortona is quiet, I like going out and taking walks."
Coach Demis Cavina analyzes the match that Derthona plays on Sunday at 18pm at the PalaOltrepo in Voghera against Siena. «Siena is one of the most athletic teams in the group. Physicality distributed across the entire roster although that of the three foreigners obviously stands out. This athleticism combined with good defensive organization makes Siena a tough opponent to face that will put our offensive system to the test. We reviewed the first match to remember and remind ourselves that it will be a battle, but we feel ready to play another match aware that to undermine their defense we will have to increase the possessions played at speed, improving, compared to the last outings, the offensive transition while keeping defensive tension is high."
NOTE: Andrea Iannilli started racing again on Friday and will probably be on the bench even if his use is not certain. After the match in Barcelona, Marks stopped due to a problem with the big toe of his right foot which, however, should not endanger his presence on the pitch. Live Lnp Tv Pass.
