The Red Star game was indeed an exception. The ability of the players who had been less used up to that point to be ready was decisive. Before Shavon Shields&#8217; injury, Olimpia had won five out of six games; then it won four out of seven but only with Red Star never had the feeling of being really competitive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this data to support its effort, Olimpia faces Tortona, this time with a two-day break between one game and the next. Tortona has reached the playoffs\u2019 semifinal over the last couple of seasons, last Sunday defeated Scafati and then lost in Istanbul against Galatasaray. They remodeled the roster with the signing of former Italian league MVP Colbey Ross and Amine Noua, and replaced the historic coach Marco Ramondino with the very experienced Walter De Raffaele. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the game storylines, there is the return as an opponent of Tommaso Baldasso, who won two championships in Milan. \u201cBaldasso and Colbey Ross have been the team\u2019s engine over the last few games \u2013 assistant coach Mario Fioretti pointed out \u2013 so we need to contain them, both in transition and when they will play against a set defense. We expect a lot of different type of defenses: we\u2019ll need to move the ball the right way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53277677329_94dc21e4de_k.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stefano Tonut during the previous game against Tortona<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Olimpia will play its sixth game of 2024 coming off the loss suffered against Red Star in which for the first time, since playing with a roster decimated by absences, the team was unable to be fully competitive.
