Coach Simone Pianigiani spoke with the media after the win over Trento in the Supercup semifinal: “We played a solid game, we are totally new and we wanted to overcome Trento’s trap. They re good at creating problems. But we resisted, defensively, we rebounded the ball well, the bigs movement was essential to put our go-to guys in the right conditions to score. We dictated the tempo, we led for the length of the game and now I’m curious to find out what we can do tomorrow after thie kind of effort. I wanted to a defensive identity and it was there. Gudaitis did a great job moving, like the other bigs. Trento had to trail them and that spaced the floor well. There are a lot of details we need to improve but the effort was there. That’s key. Goudelock for example made some tough 2-point shots but I’m glad because of the way he sacrificed himself, grabbed five board. Bertans and Micov gave us a lot of balance while Theodore and Drew were of great substance. Like M’Baye who was used to handle the ball a lot more but now he has to adjust. And like all the guys he’s doing this well. At this time mentally every game is very tough for us. That’s why I’m very curious about the final”.
