Coach Simone Pianigiani will return to Istanbul to face his former team, Fenerbahce on Thursday. Fenerbahce is leading the league and is playing an outstanding brand of basketball. “They can disrupt the opponents with theirs size and physicality, not only defensively but also offensively because they are very good at exploiting mismatches for their big men and also their perimeter guys, like Kalinic and Guduric. Their shooters are very effective shooting the three like they did in Athens last week, using sometimes even a huge line-up with Kalinic as a 2 and Melli as a 3. We need to give value to every and each possession, we will try to play at our tempo to avoid being disrupted by their size and aggresiveness on defense and resist as long as possible. At the end of this game our goal is to improve, and come out better because of it. Should we stay close until the end we will try to be ready to take advantage of the opportunity even if witohout Nedovic nobody is giving us any credit for this game”.
