Reggio Emilia awaits Varese, Dimitris Priftis dotes the i’s and crosses the t’s

Sunday at PalaBigi there'è Reggio Emilia-Varese

Recovering from the knockout in the Champions League against Falco Szombathely (79-88), but also from five successes in a row in the league, Unahotels Reggio Emilia asks further road to the next opponent, Openjobmetis Varese, which after a complicated start has collected some important results, one of all the recent victory against Olimpia Milano (94-92).

The coach of Reggiani, Dimitris Priftis, spoke this way on the eve of the game scheduled for Sunday at 7 p.m.: "Facing Varese means preparing for a game different from the others, by virtue of their way of playing. I refer to the peculiaritiesà of their basketball: the high pace, the speedà of execution and the great propensity to shoot from outside".

"I think the grafts of Sykes, Tyus and Johnson have given them more experience,” added the Greek coach, “but they have not changed the substance of what è their approach to games. I think paradoxically, in order to best defend against their characteristics, our offense" will be crucial.

" We will have to play in a balanced way, with intelligent shot selection that does not open the rhythm of the game, but above all we should not give them lost balls 'alive' that is, from the dribble or passing lines, because weè we would favor exactly what they want to do. In summary, we must not let what è happened in the second half of the BCL challenge against the Hawk" happen.
