Virtus Bologna, collapse with Pistoia: Luca Banchi can’t get over it

A vertical collapse, difficult to justify.

Virtus Bologna defeated at home by Pistoia, which recovered from a 19-point disadvantage and closed the accounts on 93-100 final. For the Vu Nere è decisive in particular a fourth period to forget, as shown by the incredible partial of 10-32. A game ending on which Luca Banchi tried to dwell, complimenting the opponents and failing to find a concrete justification for the collapse of his.

"Congratulations to Pistoia for their performance, in the last quarter they were good at hitting percentages that are difficult to repeat,‖ Banchi said in the press conference. -Their comeback surprised us, making us lose lucidity in offense. I don’t think ours was a physical decline but a psychological one, we rotated 12 players and we still couldn’t stem their scoring streak".

"In the first 30 minutes we scored with easeà then è everything changed. Whatever we tried to do è became difficult. They, on the other hand, were completely confident, closed the area and forced us to shoot only from outside. But a second half with 59 points conceded, 32 of which in the last partial, certifies that we never managed to contain them on the level of aggressiveness, incisiveness and accuracy,” Banchi added.
