Bertram Derthona towards Eurobasket Rome. Lorenzo Pansa: “We face a team that is experiencing a very positive moment. We will have to be good at taking three-point shots away from the big men."
Everything is ready at the Juventus home for the eighteenth day of the regular season, in which Bertram Derthona will face Eurobasket Roma tomorrow, Sunday 28 January, at 17pm at the PalaTiziano in Rome.
Coach Lorenzo Pansa wanted to focus on the opponents: “We face a team that is experiencing a very positive moment and, after the two consecutive victories against Napoli and Agrigento, played to the point against the top of the class. Furthermore, during the week he brought in another high-quality winger such as the former Derthona player Marco Venuto. In the last period Eurobasket has been able to build a strong identity for itself, modifying its structure and presenting for the return round a battery of extremely dangerous big men even from the three-point range, which opens the field to the incursions of players like Piazza and Deloach. We will have to be good at taking three-point shots away from the big men without losing solidity inside the area against their penetrations. ”
The Juventus coach then wanted to focus on the Eurobasket roster:
“Brkic, Sims, Pierich and Bonessio guarantee a double threat both inside the area and with three-point shots. Piazza and Deloach are extremely good at playing in open field and one-on-one situations within these spaces widened by the big men, while the inclusion of Venuto will add defensive toughness and balance in offensive choices."
Lorenzo Gergati also spoke to the microphones of derthonabasket.it: “It is a very difficult match, on a pitch of a team that wants to stay away from the playouts and is rebuilding its season. He will certainly want to score points at home, it will be difficult and we are preparing with attention and intensity. We will try to take a step forward and confirm the steps forward we have made in recent weeks."
