Virtus Bologna, Luca Banchi honors GeVi Napoli
The words of Luca Banchi after the victory against GeVi Napoli
Coach Luca Banchi spoke in a press conference after Virtus Bologna’s 88-75 away win against GeVi Napoli. “An important victory that comes after a cycle of very tough games, two consecutive away games – he emphasized -. We bring home as many victories and file this trip with satisfaction, with the knowledge that today we violated a court where few teams will be able to win this season, we did it with good authority, built on an important second period and with a second quintet able to keep up the level of intensityà and quality, without giving space to our opponents. We were not as accurate on the’inevitable comeback, especially from the emotional point of view, of Napoli to preserve a resilient lead, but nevertheless Napoli never è got to a single-digit disadvantage distance and this convinces me that we are on a good path but still with the margins to express a continuityà of play that would do more honor to the effort we produce, especially in the defensive halfà field.
“This è a team that has its own clear identity, we work on a pre-existing structure and on an emotional value that è related to the previous season, a season of finals but unfortunately of lost finals – added the coach of the bianconeri -. After the Supercup, Bologna has certainly accumulated a lot of desire and will; to want to prove that it wants to compete. Having on the team veterans and players of such experience certainly facilitates the coach’s task, because’they are by my side in trying to keep the level of tension high in a league that does not give us room to maneuver because’the level of contenders’is very high and in a’Euroleague where we are among the last to arrive and are trying to continue on a promising start to the season”.
“There’è so much to be done in terms of continuityà and performance, we can’t stay out of trouble, even tonight too many lost balls and avoidable and trivial mistakes that do not fully do justice to a team that is producing a great effort. I stand by the application and availability, but I am aware that there’s still a lot of room to try to bring this team to performance levels that can allow us to fuel our aspirations and ambitions. I have been doing this job for a long time even though I have been missing for a while’ from the Italian league, the calendar in the initial phase has a valence on the current rankings because’ è è it is inevitable that it can generate inequalities, there are teams that have a different level of preparation and cohesion. In the Italian league, the ranking should be looked at the end of the first round, deadline that determines the eight teams that will go to the Coppa Italia, which will be played on a neutral field with dry matches. From there, over a range of 15 games, one can see the trend of a team” concluded Banchi.

Davis Cup, not just Jannik Sinner: Lorenzo Musetti is ready
The bronze medal at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged her up
This is it. Italy è is ready to start on the road to another possible dream, which is to win the Davis Cup again. The first obstacle è represented by the hostile Argentina (absolutely not to be underestimated). The Azzurri are betting, of course, on world No. 1 Sinner but there’è great confidence also in Musetti who arrived in Malaga in great form.
The blue number 2 è has been the protagonist of a heavenly season. The bronze at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged him up. Now he è ready to be an absolute protagonist in the Davis Cup: “I arrive with a different maturity at all levels”, his clear words to Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I’m ready to take more responsibility and have a more central, more important part than 12 months ago. There will be a lot of excitement, a lot of adrenaline, and I have a lot of desire to experience the competition”, the commentary of Musetti himself, who arrived in Malaga in excellent physical condition, having had some time to rest after Paris-Bercy.
Clearly, with such a motivated Musetti, è much can be expected from Italy. Sinner è an absolute guarantee but, to make it all the way, the help of all the members of the blue team led by captain Volandri is needed. There’s a strong desire to accomplish another feat and return to celebrate, all together.

NBA, Milwaukee snaps up Giannis Antetokounmpo
Well Golden State, black crisis for Philadelphia
So many contests in the NBA night. With its back against the wall, Milwaukee finds the strength to fight back and take home a crucial victory in the match with Chicago (122-106 the final). Race dominated by Antetokounmpo who finished with an impressive 41 points on the scoreboard, including 25 in a surreal third period, with also eight assists and nine rebounds.
Thanks to this success, the Bucks record rises to six wins and nine losses. After losing the unbeaten streak to Boston, Cleveland returned to success: 128-100 over New Orleans. Excellent performance by Jerome (29 points). The record of the Cavs è the best in the NBA with 16 wins and only one loss (suffered, precisely, against the Celtics).
Most delicate moment for Philadelphia, which continues to sink. The 76ers also surrendered in Memphis (117-111 the final), collecting their 12th defeat of the season (only two wins). A strong showing by Embiid (35 points and 11 rebounds) wasn’t enough to bring a smile back to the interior of a team in total crisis.
As for the other games, OKC folds Portland (109-99) while Houston gets rid of Indiana (130-113) rather easily. New York wins the challenge with Phoenix (138-122) while Golden State prevails against Atlanta: 120-97 the final for the Warriors with 23 points by Curry. Nice success, finally, of the LA Clippers against Orlando (104-93).

GP Las Vegas, Carlos Sainz has hope for constructors’ title
Ferrari è currently second at -36 from McLaren
.
The Las Vegas GP takes the stage. A new opportunity, for Ferrari, to try to get even closer to McLaren, currently leader in the constructors’ standings with 593 points, 36 more than the Cavallino. The circuit would seem to favor the Rossa, although Sainz points out an important detail.
“Ferrari competitive? Looking at the track I would say sì, Ferrari should be competitive or at least should be able to fight but when we see that tire temperatures rise, then I would say no”, the clear words of Sainz reported by Marca.
The Cavallino driver knows that in order to take home the Constructors’ World Championship title, he needs “help” from McLaren: “I think we are close. But at the same time, we also need McLaren to make some mistakes, becauseé, if they don’t make any mistakes from here to the end, in case we have to win all the time and we and they come second in every race, I think McLaren will probably still be able to keep the title”.
Sainz, in addition to trying to win another GP before ending his adventure with the Cavallino, wants to try to help the team win the constructors world championship: “I would like to win the championship for Ferrari this year. And sì, I think it would be a great way to end the season”.
