Coach Ramondino and Ndoja present the match against Biella
It's the eve of the championship for Bertram Derthona, who await the derby against Edilnol Biella, scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday, March 24, at 6:00 PM at the HYPE Forum. The Bianconeri are coming off a home win against Agrigento, which "showed us how long games are ," coach Ramondino began, " and how they go in fits and starts. It was important to remain composed during difficult moments, and for the future, it will be crucial to have a good approach and, at a competitive level, spread out the impact over the entire forty minutes ."
Looking ahead to Sunday's match against Bertram, the Juventus coach believes that "the best way to prepare and be at our best for the match is to focus on day-to-day life and live each day to the fullest in order to get the most out of what we have. Our mindset must allow us to limit our opponents' strengths and try to impose our own during the matches . "
Moving on to Biella's analysis, coach Ramondino believes the Piedmontese team has made some quality additions aimed at increasing their offensive threat. They've also changed their tactical setup, as after Vildera's departure, they now always play with a five-shooter lineup. Biella has physical size at every position and athletic players with excellent shooting skills: the two Americans are clearly an important point of reference, but the Italian group is a guarantee for the A2 championship.
Among the keys to Sunday's game, the Juventus coach identifies " making the right choices on offense, trying to play close to the basket to then create good three-point shots like we've been doing lately. On defense, however, we'll need to play a strong game on a team level, as with Sims at the five position, great difficulties arise in terms of pairing and balance . "
Klaudio Ndoja said: "In this final part of the season, it's important to maintain consistency in our training so we can be effective during the matches. In the derby against Biella, the emotional aspect will play a significant role; we know the atmosphere we'll find in their arena. Biella is a team that, especially at home, thrives on the support they receive from the fans: it's a team that has two high-level Americans for the category, as well as a consolidated group of players and a coach who has worked in that environment for several years and is able to provide technical consistency to the roster. During the match, it will be important to limit Sims and Harrell and their fast play ."
