pressroom
Five victories in a row: a unique winning streak in the two seasons played in Serie A by De ‘Longhi, who suffered a long rebound in the victory against Pesaro: 44-34 the count in favor of the Marche, who Treviso draws, compared to 21 rebounds harpooned by Mekowulu and associates. Pesaro remained in the game thanks to trips to the line, 38, converted into 33 points, while De ‘Longhi expressed an excellent 50% from the arc (13/26). With a ranking that is to be kept.
And coach Max is naturally happy with the result Lost in the press room: «Obviously, as far as we are concerned, we are very satisfied. We played a game where we managed to find our intensity right during the game itself. We played the first few minutes too lightly, conceding 24-25 points that we carried on for a long time. The real change, especially in terms of concentration, we did in the second half and of course this makes me very happy because it is a mature team thing, or one that is trying to become one. We made few mistakes, especially in defense, against a Pesaro who naturally tried to make the maximum effort to return. This game must give us awareness and the desire to continue on the path we have traced. These are two important points, two points that allow us to wish our fans a very happy Easter. From Monday we will start working on the Sassari match ».
Captain Matteo Imbrò he enjoys the victory: «We are happy, it was a sweaty, tight, difficult victory. In the first two quarters we conceded a lot and found ourselves with 51 points conceded. In the second half we tried to impose our defense, while in attack we tried to take more open shots and with less haste. This allowed us to take an advantage of 4/5 points, a small gap that gave us more peace of mind and confidence in our means ». The third quarter was the keystone of the match, especially as regards the achievements from beyond the three-point line: 0/6 for Carpegna Prosciutto, 5/6 for De ‘Longhi who scored with Imbrò , Russell, Lockett and twice with Michal Sokolowski.
The Pole himself praises his teammates: «It was a great team victory, after a nightmare start, especially in defense. We had the great merit of not stopping and continuing to believe that we could have won the game. And in the end, quite simply, we did it ». –
