From the PalaEnergica press room Paolo Ferraris of Casale Monferrato, Coach Jamion Christian and the GM Michael Archers they comment on the away victory against Bertram Derthona Basket.
“I’m thrilled with our team tonight, we won the rebounding battle against a very physical team and we held them to 24% from three: a great team effort against a very strong opponent.”
“We take a lot of pride in how we defend as a team, forcing others to beat us from the perimeter; They shot 55% from the arc tonight, which is exceptional for them, but we were able to defend the three point line well and grab rebounds even though we don’t have a single dominant rebounder. We are a team where everyone rebounds hard and where everyone defends hard together.”
”Our defensive coordinator, Francesco Taccetti, does an excellent job preparing us for every game; He has great experience in Serie A and this helps us a lot. Let’s not forget the attack: the way we play and go strong in offensive rebounds is what allows us to express ourselves at our best on defense too. The two sides of the pitch complement each other very well at the moment.”
“We try to stimulate excellence every day, to give each other the strength to be at our best. We are lucky to have the opportunity to dedicate ourselves to a game that we love and that makes us have fun, and we try to demonstrate it on the pitch. We love playing together and we are grateful to be able to share this experience with each other, we are aware that we are not playing for ourselves but for something bigger.”
