Sergio Scariolo, the truth about the Raptors.
The words of Sergio Scariolo
Sergio Scariolo spoke at a lengthy press conference in which he took stock of the recently concluded season. “The game expressed was good with high peaks when the staff allowed it, similar when the staff was impaired the game was insufficient. From the point of view of the result, when you are the number team, get to play three finals, win one(the least important one), the results are good In Euroleague we paid the initial price but the middle part was good, staying in the playoffs group, but still because of absences we did not close well. been happy to be back in euroleague, I’m not surprised, but if you don’t have the 6-7 budget or national players structured from a certain physical point of view like Serbs, Lithuanians, optimize the resources in building the team and be able to count on as many healthy players as possible, for example partizan and zalgiris, who were able to reflect on the court the quality of the work done.
“A couple of regrets, the Italian cup final surprised me having played two high level games, in the final the first half was mediocre, I am very surprised for not being able to recover mentally even though we came back to within a shot of victory after minus twenty, probably the physical level of some players, especially the most important ones . In the regual season the game with Napoli, more than in Treviso where we played in difficult conditions against an opponent playing for salvation, very motivated, but in this case the game was conditioned by serious refereeing errors, but against Napoli it was our fault, if I have to choose a point of regret I choose Napoli.”
Toronto chapter: “Coming from the NBA, where this aspect does not exist, it was a nice reunion. It is true that I have another year on my contract, which is what counts. There was this prolonged interest from the Raptors that the club was aware of and I have to thank them for not hindering and handling it well. I would have asked to go if the interest had materialized. If other teams (European ones) speak out in your favor for your work, but until there is a conversation that having me contracted cannot happen, these rumors are more for you journalists than for me. A few months ago Dr. Zanetti my asked for availability to extend my stay, I said at the time that there are aspects to be clarified, but that availability is still there and if an extension comes I can also make a financial sacrifice on compensation. If there is not, my commitment will still be maximum next year, as I am a serious professional who gives everything until the last second and because it is right.”
