Molin: “Trieste, lying ranking.”

Lele Molin expects a reaction

Lele Molin expects a reaction. “In the space of a few days we have seen on the court perhaps the best and the worst Aquila Basket of the season, from my side there is the regret of not having succeeded in the cup challenge to confirm and follow up the victory and performance against Milan – said the coach of the Trentino team -. Our next challenge is called Trieste, a team that I believe is stronger than its ranking expresses at the moment: it is a lively team, that plays with energy, that can produce many points. Being a group with a short lived they still have to find their balance, especially after the addition of Ruzzier, one of the best Italian players in the point guard role. Especially at home they are by no means easy to limit: on the perimeter besides Ruzzier they have three foreigners of great scoring ability, talent and perimeter dangerousness. Davis, Gaines, and Bartley. We will have to limit their open court play and lower the pace of the game. Plus they are one of the best offensive rebounding teams in the league, we will try to do our best to curb their presence under the boards. We will take the court with the desire to erase a dull performance and continue our march in the league.”

In the 11 previous official matches in Serie A and national cups Trieste leads 6-5 the balance of direct clashes: the Bianconeri out of five attempts have never managed to conquer the Allianz Dome. They came very close twice last year, first in the Supercup and then in the regular season: on both occasions to settle the match in favor of the Giulians was Andrejs Grazulis, with a stoppage at the siren and the winning basket in the following challenge.
