Olimpia Milano, Ettore Messina praises comeback: “It wasn’t easy”

After the initial fear, comes a clear victory.

Olimpia Milano winning again, and still undefeated at home in the league. The meneghini managed to prevail 79-68 over Reggio Emilia, thus putting the Naples knockout behind them. Even with the Emilians, they did not è però miss some problems, but Ettore Messina preferred to focus on the good signs that the team showed after a very problematic first quarter.

"Scoring 80 points after having made only 9 in the first quarter è certainly a very good signal – explained Messina -. We had started very contracted, the 10 lost balls show it. They showed up aggressive on defense and made good decisions on offense, while we got loose. Then all the numbers improved, from the data on lost balls to that on assists".

Messina è then also focused on individuals: "Everyone showed good things, like Kamagate and Pangos. For the comeback è it was decisive Tonut, who played with a lot of explosiveness and aggressiveness. There'è then Mirotic who is helping us in the small wing role, while we have the outfielders stopped due to injury. We continue to do better and we will certainly grow. Especially since today we were facing a Reggio Emilia that è started well in the league and certainly è healthy team. As a test it was not easy".
