The coach’s words Ettore Messina from the press room at the Mediolanum Forum after Olimpia Milano’s loss against Trento in Game 1. “Trento deserved the win, regardless of whether it came on the last possession. We had beaten them three times this year, we started very well in the first quarter and from then on we played really bad defence. We didn’t help ourselves, we let rebounds go away, we suffered mentally at first. In attack, the 84 points must be enough to win despite an uneven performance in attack as well. We are down and we have to try to turn the series around.”
A choice not to play with a third far down. “Did Trento do what they wanted under the basket? With two players, otherwise they play with four small wings. I believe and I am sure, we are all sure, that we need a guard more that will attack and Hines is quite patient and satisfied with the first free throw.
The tension on the pitch between the players. “They know very well that we have seen and experienced these things throughout the year. We have to cut back, otherwise it will be difficult to win the series with Trento. We are not here to train well, but to win.”
