Ettore Messina comments on the great success with Reyer Venezia: «The team had a very serious match after a week that drained us of energy. Seriousness and mental strength deserve a round of applause. Very good Pippo Ricci, who we decided in a short time to have 3 play: he gave us presence and physicality both in attack and in defense ».
Remaining on small-winged Ricci: «Repeatable experiment? Yes, that’s the best news, it allows me to expand the rotation even further. If he continues like this, if he can give us a few 3 minutes at this level, it means that we will have a new offensive versatility too ».
Then a prick: “Another important thing is that we managed to win by a wide margin against a rival of the highest level, managing the minutes, so the physiologists will be happy”.
Few changes compared to the EuroLeague, and the team has produced all right: «Today we put the two starters on the field and it showed. We put Kyle Hines. With the continuity of Melli, Ricci and Datome. There is a little less difference today between the LBA team and the EuroLeague team. It is obvious that we will have some misses when the EuroLeague games are more, but the good news is that Troy Daniels will reunite with the team next week. Hall and Mitoglou grow every day ».
Positive head: «The team is growing and gives me confidence. We will have some difficult moments, but I see a human and technical squaring that I hope for ».
On Dinos Mitoglou: «It wasn’t easy for him to understand what we were asking him. He must be a two-dimensional player for us, but he is also finding those shots from the high post, from four to five meters, that allow us to find balance. And this can benefit both Hall and Shields, who find more chances to penetrate ».
