Andrej Jakimovski: "Naples is a growing team"

The Dolomiti Energia Trentino returns to the court at the BTS Arena for the seventh day of LBA Unipol, scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 7, at 5:30 p.m., when the Bianconeri take on Napoli Basketball.

Coach Cancellieri’s team arrives at the challenge after a high-intensity week: Tuesday’s EuroCup win against Lietkabelis (78-74), followed Thursday by the away game in Cremona, where Vanoli won 92-83. Napoli Basketball comes to the appointment after two consecutive defeats, which came against Tortona and Trapani, but before that it had scored important successes against Reggio Emilia and Treviso.

“On Sunday we are expecting another very physical game – emphasizes Andrej Jakimovski -: Napoli is a growing team, which in recent weeks has stayed in the game against top formations. They have players of great quality and experience, they like to play at a high pace, and we certainly want to prove that we are a strong team”.

“After yesterday’s game we know that we have to improve, especially in rebounding, where we suffered so much in the challenge against Cremona. We are sure that our public will give us an important boost: we know that we do not have much time to prepare for the game, but with the help of the HCL people we can win a very valuable victory” adds the Italian-trained Macedonian.
