Bertram Derthona returns to the field immediately, playing on Wednesday 19 April at 20.30 pm at the PalaEnergica Paolo Ferraris against UNAHOTELS Reggio Emilia. Presenting the characteristics of the next opponents is the assistant coach Massimo Galli:
“After the defeat against Brescia we face Reggio Emilia at home, a very healthy team that has won five of the last six games and is led from the bench by Sakota, the veteran of the league's coaches, who needs no introduction.
Cinciarini acts as a point guard, who is the leader andhead of the snake of the team, which travels at 9.8 assists per outing. He alternates the role with Senglin, a veteran of the European championships who is making a great contribution. In the guard role, after Anim's injury, Michele Vitali is playing, an excellent three-point shooter (41.7%), who is finding consistency after the injury. Completing the external department are Olisevicius, who after a great season last year, is rising in tone in the latest outings. Behind him Strautins, a Latvian of Italian education, who is a great athlete.
Hopkins is playing as the '4', a great rebounder (7.4 on average) who can also score from outside and also act as the number '5'. His replacement is Reuvers, skilled in three-point shooting (39.6% on the season). The starting '5' in the last few games has been Diouf, a young man who is confirming himself at this level and who has an important role in coach Sakota's board. The latest arrival, Marcus Lee, has played 5 matches: he is an athlete, very solid and good at playing in the area”.
