Lele Molin’s words

Dolomiti Energia Trentino throws its heart over the obstacle and finally allows itself a European night of joy and smiles: the 75-72 success achieved against Gran Canaria is worth a lot, not only because the bianconeri take their first EuroCup win of the season, but especially because they do it against a cup battleship, the group and Liga ACB leader. A great team defense is the constant of the bianconeri inside the 40′, in a game where many different protagonists take turns on offense: the 12 points each of Lockett and the returning Flaccadori, the 13 of Spagnolo at the end best scorer of his. Dolomiti Energia stays inside the game for 40′ and scores in the final. With chill, but with merit.

Satisfied Lele Molin: “Finally this first win in EuroCup came: we are very happy with this result and our performance, I congratulate my guys because today they played a very serious and consistent game. In the first half of the match we struggled a bit, conceding too many easy points to our opponents in transition: in the second half instead we further forced Gran Canaria’s offense to low percentages, especially limiting their three-point shooting which was one of the themes of the match. We, on the other hand, finished with a good 45% from the arc and kept the level of our team defense very high. Tonight we had focus: a solid defense then allows you to be more relaxed on offense, we had good ball circulation.”
