The freshman De ‘Longhi from the battleship Virtus «The back to back? With a smile on his lips “

Captain Imbrò indicates the direction to his teammates: “The last knockout was the worst in the league, we have to reset everything”

/ TREVISO

Last hours of preparation for De ‘Longhi before savoring for the first time in its history the unprecedented taste of the top flight playoffs. The three certain matches against Segafredo will be played within five days, the first two even in 24 hours: race one in Bologna at 7pm, garadue still there at 8.45pm (live Rai Sport), garage at Palaverde on Monday at 8.45pm again on Rai Sport , as well as all streamed on Eurosport Player. The team will leave for the Bologna capital today at 5 pm after training in Sant’Antonino. Matteo Imbrò has already known the top playoffs, from 2011 to 2015 he played in Bologna after becoming, at 19, the youngest captain of the black Vu, and for him the impact with the post season will inevitably be very particular. “I have wonderful memories of that period but since then at Virtus everything has changed – admits the captain of TvB – for sure it will be exciting for me to play there but then, as always happens, everything is forgotten on the pitch”.

An 18-day break is about to end.

«It is clear that we used it to recover from some ailments but also to improve attack and defense situations ».

You also have people who are experts in these games: besides you there are also Logan and Lockett. Will these be the key players?

«I am always of the opinion that the collective counts more than the individual, playing as a team leads you to win races. And the strength of this De ‘Longhi is the team. So we must always look for the free man in attack and, in defense, not to concede easy baskets ».

How are you physically?

«I would say that I have recovered well from the shoulder injury, I still have some minor discomfort but nothing serious. And also Sokolowski and Mekowulu have recovered quite well, so everything is fine ».

The last memory of the Segafredo Arena is not very comforting: -29.

«That was certainly one of our worst performances in the league against a tough opponent: now we have to reset everything, we know that the playoffs are different games than all the others. Therefore we will go to Bologna to play our basketball without any fear ».

How much will the absences of Tessitori and Weems affect?

“Surely they will shorten their rotations, but given their roster and the way they play, I think Segafredo has the possibility to make up for these absences, all the players will be willing to take a step back and make a greater contribution”.

Will taking the field two nights in a row affect you?

«In the youth teams it was almost the norm. At this level it is a novelty, a strange situation as it has been a bit all this season. And in case of defeat in the race one will allow you to make up for it immediately. Certainly Treviso Basket will face him with a smile on his face ». –
