The words of Shabazz Napier

Shabazz Napier told Gazzetta dello Sport his EA7 Emporio Armani Milano’s feelings ahead of the super challenge against Virtus Segafredo Bologna this afternoon at 6:15 pm: "Bologna è a strong and aggressive team. It has players of great quality. Belinelli è incredible. I have seen few shooters like him in my life. I put him on the same level as Kyle Korver and JJ Reddick. His catch and shoot è impressive, as are all his movements to dodge. And I like Pajola, total play, highly effective, always ready to sacrifice 100 percent for the team. Then all the others. They play really well. È a good challenge for us”.

How does Milan, on the other hand, play? “On paper we are a team with a lot of talent. But the field counts. L” we had good games and some not so good games. In some we did not produce enough effort to win as è happened in the Italian Cup final against Napoli. That serious defeat made everything uglier, erasing the good results of previous games”.

Napier is also confident about a’positive last part of the season for the’EA7 Emporio Armani: “Sì becauseé I am lucky to play next to high-level teammates. After so many ups and downs, important games await us (Vitoria and Venezia away after Virtus ed) in which we will have to show that we have more will to win than our opponents".
