It started with a flight from Malpensa on Saturday afternoon “the Brindisi operation”Of the Varese Basketball, thigh of having a complicated game in front of him but at the same time eager to return to turning after the double KO remedied between Pesaro and Milan. Different defeats but with a common denominator, the absence of Marcus Keenethe main source of unpredictability (as well as points scored) in Johan Roijakkers’ line-up.
The American shooter, thoughat the PalaPentassuglia there will be: thanks also to a light physical structure (compared to the average of the players), Keene recovered from the ankle injury, he trained with his teammates and will take the field even if not 100%, forcing the defense of the Happy Casa to sacrifice a man in his marking.
A condition that Roijakkers and his companions awaited, to try to free the other guns of the team that in the two recent releases have been too mixed. But be careful not to give too much responsibility to the Texan goblin: Brindisi cannot be defeated by trusting in individual feats but, as always, it will have to be “worked” by the whole team starting from the defensive half. Where, in our opinion, the Openjobmetis has lost a pinch of polish compared to the glittering previous tests.
Varese will try to exploit some training problems within the team of Vitucci, whose bench seems to wobble perhaps for the first time since his arrival in Salento. The “freshest” ex, Alessandro Gentile, she is struggling with a sprained ankle that is already bad from previous “distortions” and is given as in strong doubt (the barometer said “absent” but there is some possibility of seeing it). Vitucci will miss a key player like Wes Clark, a level point guard who suffered a distraction in a leg muscle on Thursday. The former coach of the “Unforgettable” will then entrust the directed by former Legnanese Zanelli (not in his best season, but always in possession of a big heart) paired with the Argentine Redivo.

Two particularly dangerous men. The first is the horse – indeed, thoroughbred – of return D’Angelo Harrison, excellent last year and therefore convinced in the summer to accept a rich contract in Ukraine from where he obviously left when the war broke out. The second is Nick Perkins solid pivot with a good hand even from medium distance, a puzzle for many equal roles that he will touch risolvere a Paulius Sorokas, one moreover already accustomed to almost impossible missions. Even “Paolino” like his teammates has disposed of the seasonal illnesses that had hit the team after the away match in Naples.
“We really want to go back to winning after the two defeats – Justin Reyes explains on the eve, player who is discovering the Italian league in recent weeks – I like your league, it is competitive. As for the match with Brindisi, in my opinion we are ready. We recover an important player like Marcus, we want to return to fielding the energy we are capable of ».
