Press room at PalaLeonessa after game 1 playoff quarter-finals for the coach of Germani Brescia Alessandro Magro who commented on the victory over Estra Pistoia as follows: “A good start. We know that the series will be long and demanding, so it was essential to start on the right foot. In the first half we demonstrated a solid defense, limiting Pistoia’s opportunities. In the second time, with Pistoia changing strategy as they had done in the championship, we faced more agile quintets and the dynamics changed. Although we created good shooting opportunities, we were unable to capitalize on them. However, we remained united and played a good match overall. I’m optimistic for the future. I think the work with Akele on Willis gave good results. It was a disciplined game. When Moore wasn’t on the court, Della Rosa was decisive with important baskets , aware of the challenges that await us. We will have to evaluate various factors, and in race 2 we will be able to count on those who perhaps did not shine so much today. In the first half we distributed the game effectively. Now it’s up to coach Brienza to make his choices.”
