Sanve, have a feast “Crema is a top-level team. Let’s recover rhythm and head”

the character

In Serie B, unlike other basketball championships, we play. And tonight at 20.30 at the PalaSaccon in San Vendemiano the Belcorvo Rucker (18 points) takes on Crema (8). The team of coach Marco Mian, two days from the end of the first round, is fourth behind the Cividale roller of coach Pillastrini (12-1) and the JuVi Cremona-Mestre duo at 20.

Mian, despite the absence of Verri (12.6 points and 6 rebounds), is this an opportunity to forfeit two more good points?

«Instead there is nothing taken for granted, for two reasons: Crema has players of a level that is certainly higher than their ranking and, secondly, when you return to play after the Christmas break you never know what can happen. It will be necessary to recover, in addition to the match pace, also tension and concentration, without underestimating the opponent. The key to the game will be this: the mental fact. Before stopping we had won in Lumezzane, we hope to continue and to do so as well in Jesolo, a difficult trip, to close the first leg well ».

Is fourth place in line with your expectations?

“I would say yes. We did very well away, where we only lost in Mestre, on the contrary we left a few points too many at home, see Vicenza, and this is our worry. Honestly, our starting idea was to stay in the top two at the halfway point, we’ll see how these next two races go. Which are not simple: even winning in Jesolo, against a team that systematically changes in defense, will not be so easy. And it’s always a derby ».
