Coach Galli – Givova Scafati's corner
New championship appointment for Bertram Derthona, who will challenge the Givova Scafati in the match scheduled for Sunday 22nd at 19.00 pm at PalaEnergica Paolo Ferraris. Analyzing the team faced in December on the 11th day of the championship is, as usual, the assistant coach Massimo Galli:
“We begin the return round, after an excellent third place in the standings and qualification for the Italian Cup, meeting Scafati, a team that has undergone a lot of renewal since the beginning of the year, changing coaches and several players.
In the role of point guard, Givova can count on Julyan Stone, a player I know very well having trained him for two years in Venice. Stone is a very physical point guard, capable of skillfully triggering his teammates and an excellent defender. Next to him is a veteran of our championship, David Logan, a player of enormous talent and experience who can put any defense in difficulty.
In the role of 3/4 coach Caja can count on Stan Okoye, also already seen in Italy, who has changed the face of the team since he arrived in Campania. The two big men of the quintet are Pinkins, who can also play as a 5, (already seen in Italy in Casale Monferrato and Turin) and Trevor Thompson, in his first year on the peninsula, who is proving to be an excellent rebounder.
Rossato, one of the protagonists of the promotion, and Imbrò come off the bench and scored 14 and 12 points respectively in the first leg match. The replacement for the small forward is Mian, an expert player and good shooter. Finally, in the rotations of the big men, there are Butjankovs, solid and effective, and De Laurentiis, former player of the day."
