The regular season is entering the homestretch and Olimpia is facing Gigova Scafati in its next-to-last home game. The importance of what is at stake is made transparent by the standings. Olimpia is one win – or one Reyer loss – from being certain of finishing among the top three spots, but at the same time it is still in the running for improving the position with a glimmer of hope still open to the first place, but only in case of closing with three straight wins. From this point of view, what other teams will do is also very important. Both Brescia – which leads the table and will be in Milan in seven days – and Bologna have a slight advantage as of now. Unfortunately, Olimpia will start this game still with an incomplete roster, as happened last week in Treviso. With no Maodo Lo, Devon Hall and Nikola Mirotic, Olimpia will be obligated to play with same foreign players, therefore three big men (Hines, Poythress and Voigtmann ) and three perimeter players (Napier, Shields and Valentine). “Scafati is a very physical team, with a lot of size at any position – assistant coach Mario Fioretti said -. The pick and rolls situations and the big men post-up game is what we will need to pay particular attention playing with aggressiveness throughout the game.”
