The Bertram Derthona towards Legnano. Coach Lorenzo Pansa: "We face a team that is the result of very good programming"
Everything is ready at the Juventus home for the ninth day of the regular season, in which Bertram Derthona will face Knights Legnano tomorrow, Monday 27 November, at 20.30pm at PalaBorsani.
Coach Lorenzo Pansa focused on tomorrow's opponents: “We face a team that is the result of a very good programme, built on four confirmed players, including the two Americans, to which have been added a playmaker established in the category such as Zanelli and three very important elements from Serie B. They play extremely pleasant basketball in the open field and have a great pace of execution, which they combine with great defensive solidity thanks also to an important athletic level, such that they are the second best rearguard in the championship behind league leaders Casale Monferrato. We are aware that we will find an angry team after the defeat suffered in Trapani, but for ourselves it is an important match from an emotional point of view, starting again from the second half with Casale Monferrato".
The Juventus coach then wanted to describe their characteristics:
“They have an extremely productive set of wingers, who have great ability to create shots and trigger teammates from pick and roll situations. The two big men offer great rebounding presence and know how to run the court excellently, while the experience and quality of Federico Maiocco is the perfect glue for this roster."
Finally, Lorenzo Pansa describes the possible key attitude of the team:
“We must be able to have the same emotional impact in the immediate start of the match as in the second half of the match against Casale. We will have to be good at preventing them from easily triggering shooters and at defending in the best possible way all those open field situations at which they are objectively very good."
