Bertram, coach Ramondino: “We are not very reactive in defense, giving everything was not enough”

SERIE A – after the knockout of venice

TORTONA

Bertram Tortona, without Ariel Filloy, is defeated by PalaTaliercio at the end of a race that Umana Reyer Venezia has led for large stretches in terms of rhythm and score. In the last quarter, led by Macura’s baskets, the team coached by coach Marco Ramondino returned to contact without being able to complete the comeback.

«Congratulations to Venice for the victory. – says Ramondino – Our players gave everything they had, but it wasn’t enough to win. We weren’t particularly reactive in defense, especially at a certain moment in the game when we left too much space for Theodore and Watt; while in attack we suffered their aggression. The energies, more nervous than physical, found in the final match brought us back to only one possession, too bad for the foul away from the ball on Bramos that allowed them to go back to scoring. There are great merits of Venice in the victory, we go back to the gym to prepare for Saturday’s match. Ours is a team in which we share responsibilities, apart from the individual player today we did not have good rhythm and energy: it is no coincidence that when Macura got started we regained some strength ». Tortona will return to the field on Saturday (7 pm) at the PalaFerraris in Casale against Carpegna Pesaro. –
