Coach Pansa presents the match against Latina

Championship eve for Bertram Derthona, playing in Latina in the second consecutive away match at the start of the championship. The Bianconeri's opponent is the team coached by coach Gramenzi, fresh from the home success against Trapani: it is a team She is gifted with talent and unscrupulousness – comments coach Pansa – as demonstrated by the 86.5 points he averaged in his first two outings while shooting 40% from three-point range. Tavernelli is the driving force of their game, alongside him are two classy players like Lawrence and Fabi, while under the basket they have atypical big men who run and widen the field. Young players come off the bench and give great freshness and athleticism to their rotations.

Bertram, for its part, wants revenge after the two defeats suffered in the first days of the tournament: in this regard this week ʺVery intense work was carried out both on the pitch and in terms of mental toughness. During the week I saw great desire, the same – continues coach Pansa – that we will have to have in the game tomorrow. We must not let ourselves be influenced by last Saturday's bad performance but start again from the good things we put on the field against Siena, strengthened by a week characterized by excellent work.

The trip to Latina presents several difficulties, also because ʺFrom a physical point of view it is difficult to sustain two consecutive away games. We must overcome this aspect with mental toughness: today we must not think about how many kilometers we have travelled, but about what to do to remove the 0 from our ranking.. Coach Pansa identifies among the factors that can direct the race ʺthe quality we will put into our offensive executions and the ability we will have to dirty their rhythmʺ.
