PAVIA

Riso Scotti prepares the trip to Mestre for game 1 of the playoff quarter-finals. The Pavesi will play the first two matches, on Sunday (two-ball at 18) and Tuesday 17 (20.30) away, before returning to Pavia to prepare for game 3 on Friday 20.

emotional impact

«The first game in the playoffs always has a special value – comments captain Marco Torgano, who also played the playoffs with Pavia last year – and a very important emotional impact. Those who play at home have the pressure of having to win at any cost, while we start with the idea of ​​being able to win at least one of the first two challenges immediately and race 1 is certainly the most important ».

Torgano, 29, pivot winger, arrives at these playoffs in better physical condition than last year and, net of injuries, also the rest of the team. «Last season we had a long and more demanding ride because we started from the bottom of the standings – says Torgano – then we got a bit in reserve, while now we are more lucid and have greater serenity. We want to do our best to extend the story of this season as much as possible ». Mestre is a dangerous team, with the long Bartolin and the three-point shot as a strong point. “Their long is one of the most dangerous offensive ends, the best center in group B – says the captain of Scotti – but I am convinced that we will play on equal terms, hoping to recover the injured”.

The novelty of this year are the “play off” t-shirts made by Riso Scotti (price 10 euros). They can be booked, indicating name, surname and size, directly on the company website and can be collected tomorrow morning (from 10 am to noon) or directly on Friday 20, during competition 3, at the station set up at the entrance to the PalaRavizza. On Saturday morning or Friday 20 it will also be possible to buy the shirts directly.

Meanwhile, if yesterday the sponsor Fabio Monastero, also in the name of Gianni Perruchon, wanted to thank the team for the playoffs achieved, today it’s up to Dario Scotti to receive players and staff and wish good luck.
