Pesaro studies countermeasures to stop Brindisi

Luca Pentucci speaks on the eve of VL Pesaro-New Basket Brindisi

Carpegna Prosciutto Basket Pesaro assistant coach Luca Pentucci presented the match valid for the seventh day of Serie A that will see the red-and-whites engaged on Sunday, November 20, at 6:30 p.m. on the parquet of PalaPentassuglia for the challenge against Happy Casa Brindisi.

“In the period reserved for the 2023 World Cup qualifying matches, we have been working without some players committed with their respective national teams,” Pentucci explained in the press conference. “Tomorrow we challenge a team that has always won at home so far; this is a formation that likes to run and play very high possessions. We will have to be good at limiting their pace without allowing Brindisi to rebound. Perkins provides an excellent inside game, well backed up by Burnell. Among the outsides there are two very talented players like Bowman and Reed who offer a nice haul in penetration but also in terms of creating for their teammates. Among the Italians we will be facing Mascolo and Midnight.”
