Sunday there'è Virtus Bologna-Treviso

Reduced by the double Euroleague knockout against Bayern and Olimpia Milano, Virtus Bologna returns on Sunday to breathe the air of the championship, with the goal of maintaining the full score even after the fifth game: on his way there'è Treviso, which after the success in the first day with Venice has collected four defeats in a row, against Trapani, Reggio Emilia, Trento and Trieste.

Daniele Parente, assistant coach of Luca Banchi, does not però trust the day's opponents and urges the whole HCL environment not to take the commitment under consideration: "A physically and mentally demanding game awaits us, after the double round in the Euroleague – he said -. Treviso è a team that likes to attack in the first seconds of the action with all five players".

"It will be necessary to win all duels, one-on-ones, with and without the ball, and be ready to play against their quintets that open up the court,” added the 1978-born coach. On offense we will have to be very patient to find advantages through ball circulation".

In the league, Virtus Bologna has played four games, winning them all: at the opener in Trapani it won 89-88, then it beat Pistoia at home 84-68, Venezia at home of the same Reyer 76-68 and finally Cremona, again away, with the final score of 74-64. Together with Trento (which played one more game) è it's the only team still undefeated in Serie A.
