Di Paolantonio finds culprit after loss to Brindisi: bad luck

Emanuele Di Paolantonio, the coach of Sella Cento, is definitely dejected after the sprint loss to Valtur Brindisi, and he doesn’t hide it. “I am very tired of losing games and this team is very tired of losing games,” he says, “. As you saw, we fought 40 minutes on every ball, deserving a different ending this time as well. Unfortunately, at this moment there is a component that cannot be weighted: it is that of luck and it is saying bad things to us.”

“If we had made all the free throws we got we would have won anyway,” he adds. “We missed shots to win even building them well: our opponents also made baskets in isolation and inverted carping. Right now it’s bad for us, but as you saw the team is alive and has the will and determination to get this salvation and continues to fight every day to try.”

“Davis? Definitely in the second half he was marked better, definitely we triggered him a little less, however he is our key player on offense. When we go to him he has to produce, he knows that and he is definitely not in his best moment. In fact, it is his worst moment in these two years with us: we will work to recover his performance because the team needs him,” Cento’s coach concludes.

In the next round both Brindisi, which is now at the top of the standings, and Cento will play in Veneto: the Pugliese in Mestre, the Emilians in Verona against a team revitalized by the Ramagli cure.
