Pistoia goes to Trieste, Gasper Okorn clear on game plan

Gasper Okorn promises battle in Trieste

It comes from eight consecutive defeats, the last one very heavy, at home, against Olimpia Milano (82-115 the final result), but Estra Pistoia does not want to give up and, indeed, promises battle to its next opponent, Pallacanestro Trieste, which, on the other hand, è in full playoff zone. Gasper Okorn, coach of the Tuscans, explained what he expects from his opponents.

"They come from A2 but è one of the biggest surprises in the league and, internally, everyone knows what è their role is,” he said. There are players on the outsides who are pure forwards and points of reference such as Ross and Valentine who we will have to try to limit as much as possible, without forgetting Brown who can è start from the bench but è be able to break up the game, also changing the pace of the game".

"Usually è a team that tends to attack in the first 6-7 seconds of the action, especially in transition, and if we can slow that down and get them to the last seconds of possessions we can put them in more trouble" " then added Okorn, speaking in more detail about Sunday&s game plan.

"It’ s true that they are favored for this match but we will certainly not go there with the white flag already raised: we will try to stay as much as possible in the game in the first three quarters to play all for everything in the final" concluded the Estra coach, who will also be able to count on the new arrival, Derek Cook Jr, and the returning Maverick Rowan.
