Reyer Venezia, Walter De Raffaele identifies Brindisi’s number one danger

De Raffaele’s words on the eve of the match with Brindisi

After the fine EuroCup victory in the Italian derby with Germani Brescia, Reyer Venezia is ready to return to the court in the lunch match on Sunday, December 4 against Happy Casa Brindisi, valid for the ninth day of Serie A.

The coach of the orogranata spoke this way ahead of the challenge: “I think the most important thing for the next game is to have the ability to contain the one-on-ones of Brindisi’s various players, who are, especially as far as the two American outside players, Reed and Bowman, and internally Perkins, the talents who have the ability to create an advantage for themselves to score. It’s not that Burnell or others are less incisive, but usually from the actions of these players advantages always arise, so I think the ability to be able to contain and limit them, of course taking into account the other players as well, is an important element, combined with controlling rebounds knowing that it’s another game away from home, on a court that is notoriously warm. For us I think it is important to continue defensively what we are showing in the last three games, so more solidity and more focus on certain aspects. And that could be one of the important elements of this game.”
