Trento awaits Olimpia Milano with clear ideas
The eve words of Fabio Bongi and Anthony Lamb
Despite Wednesday's knockout in Germany against Ulm, there's optimism in the home of Dolomiti Energia Trentino, which, on the strength of five wins in as many league games, will face one of the second-ranked teams, Olimpia Milano, on Sunday at 6:15 p.m., just back from its success in the Italian derby in the Euroleague against Virtus Bologna.
"It's going to be a tough game, one of those that fires up all the fans,” assistant coach Fabio Bongi said at the presentation.
It's very challenging to prepare for games like this when you have so much talent on the other side. We have already played against very strong teams and we must try to replicate the positive performance we were capable of against Tel Aviv and Gran Canaria".
"They,” added Paolo Galbiati’s deputy, “can offer us many different types of quintets and we will have to be astute in always responding in the right way". Echoing him was HCL forward Anthony Lamb: "I can't wait for Sunday,” he said, “I have a great desire for revenge after the Ulm defeat and I know there will be a sold-out arena full of our fans ready to support us".
" We had a chance to see Milan these days and they are a team with great talent. More attention on me from the Milan defense? I will beò ready to read the defense and pass the ball to find the best shot possible" concluded the 1998 class basketball player.
