Nenad Markovic saves only the result
.
Despite Dinamo Sassari’s narrow victory over Anwil Wloclawek in the Europe Cup, coach Nenad Markovic did not è appear satisfied in the press conference: “Defense from two faces, first half very bad, with many individual mistakes with them that could move the ball easily. Very very very good in the second but very bad from the offensive point of view. We have to combine the two halves. We have to find a balance, we can do much better on offense, we could have closed with a bigger gap, defense saved us”.
“We wasted 2-3 possessions even when we were at +8 – added the Sardinians’ coach -, we lost some balls because of fatigue I don’t know or superficiality; we allowed them to come back close more” times, now we are first but we should go to Poland not to defend 3 points but to win”.
“A team canò improve during the course of the season, be able to read situations, we saved ourselves, we won thanks to defense, thanks to the intensityà in our half of the field” continued the coach of the Banco.
“Tambone and Udom from the defensive point of view were very important, Renfro also è was super, Matteo was ready in case of need to play even with Napoli, I è liked, è was very valuable” concluded Markovic.

Cantù wins on comeback after horror start, Brienza also toasts in the end
Brienza Speaks
L’Acqua S.Bernardo Cantù wins in a comeback on the parquet of Verona and the coach of the Brianza team, Nicola Brienza, analyzes a very peculiar competition: “It was two games in one. In the first there’è was an excellent Verona, which played at a very high intensity and objectively put us in great difficulty. Add to that the fact that we probably thought we were on a premium vacation at Vinitaly, or something like that. But I still reiterate their great merits”.
” We were especially good at the end of the first half in recreating an acceptable gap, coming back down by 11. È that was crucial, because that and the break at the beginning of the third quarter created the conditions for us to think about turning it over. In the second half we turned up the engine considerably and to do everything that è in the first half we were not getting, starting with rebounds and loose balls”.
“In the first half we managed to get a bomb from Verona, with a shot from the halfà court that barely touches the iron and we are theì looking at each other, while Penna pulls back from the’corner completely free. Clearly, to think of winning in Verona with that kind of attitude was unthinkable and in fact we rightly went down by 20”.
“Però at the same time we found a great reaction: we did not want to lose and we did not accept to lose in this way. So I congratulate the boys for their second half, for their energy and for the’intensity” put on the field”.
