Reyer starts off with a bang in EuroCup, Spahija explains key to success

The words of Neven Spahija after the victory with Aris Thessaloniki

Start with a bang for Reyer Venezia in the EuroCup. The Orogranata, in fact, overwhelmed Aris Thessaloniki with a clean 95-75 on their debut. "I have to congratulate my team because it&#39s a great win and a great start to the EuroCup,” stressed coach Neven Spahija. “Obviously we are working to build even more, so it&#39s enough as a first game. We played against a very good team that played hard and winning against them by 20 points is definitely noté easy noré obvious".

Qundi unveiled the key to success: "I must say that in the first half they shot very well and made even contested three-point shots. The second half only three. We, on the other hand, remained consistent. That è what counts. I want to congratulate my team because we played from the first minute until the end a good basketball with a lot of changes, a lot of rebounds, this time we made a few more three-point shots. But 17 offensive rebounds, 25 assists and seven players in double figures are important numbers, not the words I said in that timeout to change pace after their 5-0".

"There's pleasure in passing the ball to each other, I don&#39t see any selfishness, added the Reyer coach. They are players who want to play for each other and they behave well. Above all, we want to play strong on defense. Against Milan in my opinion we put in a very good defense but we missed all open shots".

"Kyle Wiltjer? He è recovered forò he only had one practice before this game. I thought it would be very hard to get him to play and I didn t want to put him on the field in that condition. Now after two or three days of training he is back in the rotation" concluded Spahija.
