Attilio Caja gets off the hook on Olimpia Milano and Virtus Bologna

Attilio Caja spoke to La Repubblica about the semifinal between Olimpia Milano and Virtus Bologna: “Biancorossi favorites? I agree, indeed more so. In view of the finish line, having perhaps already entered the home stretch. Game 2 remarked on the many problems with the mental and physical condition of many Virtus men, from Cordinier to Pajola, via Belinelli”.

“The key? Offense, no doubt. The points scored cry. Behind, Virtus has mostly had the problem of opposing longs rolling and getting open to hit from three. But the knot is the offense”.

“Milan has the quality of so many of its performers capable of scoring important baskets. Brooks is in the best moment of the season, Shields plays with the maturity to shoot little and score a lot, Leday did not stay under the 0/2 landslide in game 1”.

Commentary on Virtus: “Clyburn’s absence weighs heaviest. He is the first option on offensive plays from the two-ball, his low post creates for himself and for everyone. Nebo has been missing for months, now a metabolized absence”.
