Virtus Bologna knocked out, Luca Banchi knows why

The words of Luca Banchi

Coach Luca Banchi spoke at the end of game 3 of the LBA playoff semifinals, lost by his Virtus: “Game lived on a decidedly convincing approach, 20′ played with lucidityà and precision, perhaps not fully capitalizing on the advantage expressed, accomplice a few too many lost balls. Problem that then è recurred in the second half, where we lost confidence and had percentages that doomed us, trivially at free throws. If we look at the lost balls, this is a figure that deteriorated our game and gave Venice rhythm and confidence back. We then got to a point-to-point final where Venice è was moreù accurate than us".

"Still a comeback? The objective fact è that the quality è of our performance in the second half is not è anywhere near the first 20′. Today forò the game is also read on statistical data not yet seen until now: on a field like this, a team of our structure canò not afford 17 lost balls compared to 5 of our opponents. These are too important numbers, soì as in such a hard-fought game we needed to be moreù accurate in the lunette".

"In the first two games there’d been no such errors: today these two aspects were too heavy to keep our opponents at a distance. These are suchì important and delicate matches in which we have to minimize mistakes and today, especially in the second half, we conceded too many".
