Perl’s Hungarians are unbeaten: 11 consecutive victories Menetti: “We want a magical night to stay on top”

/ TREVISO

Cup night not to be missed, a real clash at the top in the Champions League: tonight at Palaverde the two leaders of group D face off and it will be an evening of strong emotions. These Hungarians are not at the top by chance, they are anything but inexperienced, so far they have won all of them (9 in the league and 2 in the Cup), they have been eating the Scudetto for 3 years and are at their third participation in a row in Europe. “The Hungarians are all nationals – points out Max Menetti – including Zoltan Perl (16 points and 6 assists per average, ed), who played in Treviso, a boy who left good memories but different from then, then the American Clark and the Croatian Barac. An opponent to be respected absolutely, he was able to win in Riga, the days in which Hungarian or Danish teams made people smile are over: when we won the Eurochallenge in Reggio who gave us the most problems was an unknown Finnish. In any case, we want another magical night, it would be important to do it again and of course with the help of our audience, we will try to take a fundamental step towards qualification by playing with enthusiasm and concentration. But watch out, because it is also true that those who start badly often come back and vice versa ».

You are a freshman on the field, however, it does not seem … “The Q Round certainly prepared us for the group, in Europe a basketball different from the Italian one is played, more physical, with adequate refereeing: for now we have made up for inexperience with the enthusiasm, they were two significant successes but, of course, only the next ones will count ».

But it will take a better approach than last Sunday. «Against Varese at the beginning there were objective difficulties: if we don’t manage to find the right rhythm and attack as we want, the defense will suffer. And so far we have won precisely with defensive solidity ».

As for captain Matteo Imbrò, who yesterday started training with his teammates, his return after the elbow injury could be tonight: “Yes, we’ll see how the game goes but in theory I could also give him a few minutes”.

About sixty Hungarian fans are expected, convinced that their team’s unbeaten run will be stretched. Which with Treviso is the one that scores the most in the third and fourth period (45 points). Del Falco, in addition to Perl, winger Marvin Clark (7.5 points and 5.5 rebounds) but above all other winger Szilard Benke (14 + 5.5) and strong winger Boris Barac (15 + 4.5) are to be feared. TvB with 91.5 points has the best attack of the whole BCL. And it is also the only formation in these first two games to exceed 50% from the field (52.7%, 40% from three points (40.8%) and 80% from free throws (89.3%). . And Nutribullet can become the third Italian team to win the first three Champions League matches, after Avellino in 2016/17 and Virtus Bologna in 2018/19. Apart from statistics and curiosities, everyone wants to see Treviso Basket again if not Athens. at least the one against Riga: the difficult moments will not miss even tonight but Sims and associates have already shown qualities suitable to overcome them.
