On the eve of the match they spoke at a press conference coach Antimo Martino and point guard Riccardo Tavernelli.
The words of Martino and Tavernelli
“We face a team that has maintained an important nucleus with which it obtained promotion – declares Coach Antimo Martino – to which he adds experienced players of the caliber of Hooker, Banks and Filloy, who bring quality, experience and points. A team that two weeks ago played on par with Cantù, losing only in the last few possessions, demonstrating its value.”
One match at a time – “Which is why we are preparing with great attention, for a race in which we want to return to victory, paying great attention to our next opponents, as we promised ourselves at the beginning of the racing season think about one race at a timewithout making the mistake of making calculations or looking at the next matches, even though we are aware that we are on the verge of a tour de force with many matches in a few days.”
Preparation – “We trained well, we had to manage some post-Rimini ailments but with the aim of arriving in the right conditions for the match against Livorno. We did what we had to do”
“Cinciarini he is better, it will be important to count on his availability and I am convinced that he will be available.”
Harper – “He didn’t play well against Rimini but he is an important player for the category and I am convinced that over time his performance will be significant. I am very calm about Harper”
He echoes it Riccardo Tavernelli: “We come from two positive away matches in terms of play, attitude and mentality, even if we were unable to win in Rimini. We are excited to return to our home, where we are sure that the public will give us a big hand. We must continue to play aggressively and with the right attitude from the start, to start in the right way a period that will see us play five matches in just two weeks.”
The Shawn Dawson situation
During the press conference, the situation of the bone edema that is tormenting the first phase of Shawn Dawson’s experience in Forlì was clarified. The athlete has improved less than expected and probably, with the new protocol in place, it will take at least another month to see him 100% available again. For this reason the Company is evaluating a return to the market even if it will only be possible to operate on the community market. Inevitably a temporary situation.
