Aamir Simms he led Reyer Venezia’s victory in the last match of the regular season against Pesaro. “We took control of the match against Pesaro early, we wanted to do well to get to the playoffs with good momentum and not with two defeats. We arrive at the playoffs with growth. Lately some indecisions had led us to make missteps, there were some exaggerated reactions but the coach always supported us by telling us to be smarter and mentally tougher. Against Pesaro we played better, this is the type of team we want to be”, said the Orogranata big man.
Simms also took stock of the season. “We finish in fourth place which is not a terrible result, but I won’t deny that we wanted to be first. We have had some ups and downs, also affected by injuries and absences, especially in the first part of the year. But now let’s focus on the post season. I’m excited to play in the playoffs, it’s my third year as a pro but the first time I’ve played the post season because last year I didn’t do it in Paris. It will be an opportunity to try new situations and atmospheres.”
