L’Olimpia Milan prevailed at the T Quotidiano Arena in Trento by winning the third match of the series against Dolomiti Energia Trentino. The Milanese are now ahead 2-1, according to the coach Ettore Messina satisfied with the test despite the concern about the conditions Shabazz Napier after the blow to the face at the end.
Messina: “We played a game of great compactness and determination in which everyone in attack did important things. Maybe we remember more easily the two triples with which Voigtmann split the game, but Napier’s, Hines’ first half, Mirotic’s start when we were struggling, Melli in the second half, etc. were also fundamental. We passed the ball well against a very aggressive defense and as the minutes went by we passed the ball better and better. The start was a bit timid, also because for the third time we had to change set-up due to the problem suffered by Shields. So Hall started in the quintet, the others had to change roles a bit, the rotations were different and this caused us some difficulties. Now we have regained the advantage on the pitch, we will try to close the series in Trento, it won’t be easy, but if not we will still have another chance at home on Tuesday”, said Messina.
