Coach Messina, thank you for taking the time to join us. Let’s dive straight into the action. Reyer Venezia pulled off a notable win against Olimpia Milano at Taliercio, with Tyler Ennis delivering a standout performance.What are your thoughts on Ennis’ impact, notably in exploiting your defensive setup?
Ettore Messina: Thanks for having me. Tyler Ennis had a phenomenal game, no doubt about it.He was a relentless force both offensively and defensively. His ability to convert 4 out of 6 three-point attempts was crucial, especially when we struggled to close out on him. Though, I’d argue that our defensive scheme wasn’t entirely to blame.Ennis is a versatile player, and sometimes, individual brilliance simply outshines team strategies.
Moderator: That’s a fair point.Ennis’ versatility was on full display, not just in scoring but also in his defensive contributions. He effectively neutralized Milan’s wingers, particularly in the final stages of the game. Do you think milan could have done more to contain him, or was this simply an unstoppable performance?
ettore Messina: [Chuckles] Let me be clear—no player is truly unstoppable. We could have adjusted our rotations faster and perhaps doubled him more aggressively. Having mentioned that, Ennis’ agility and speed made it challenging. he’s a player who can hurt you in multiple ways,as evidenced by his 5 assists and 4 rebounds. It’s a learning moment for us, and we’ll certainly look at the tape to see where we can improve.

Consistency will be their challenge, but if they can maintain this level of performance, they’ll be a force to reckon with. that said, the LBA is highly competitive, and every game is a battle. Milano will bounce back—we always do.
