Dusko Ivanovic saw his Virtus Bologna’s best game of the year

Coach Dusko Ivanovic spoke after Virtus Bologna-Efes Pilsen: “Tough game against a very good team, with great offensive talent”.

“The presence on the court of an opponent like Larkin, dangerous in creating chances for himself and creating them for others, was a factor tonight. Today was an exception because I usually say that we have to win games defensively, but today we won thanks to the offense. However, it must be said that it was thanks to defensive dedication in the last quarter that we were able to consolidate the result.

“80% today from two and 53% from three compared to the lackluster performance against Reggio Emilia? Every day is different from the other: sometimes it’s sunny, sometimes it’s rainy, sometimes it’s cloudy, and sometimes a player can shoot 10 out of 10 0 shoot poorly. Each game is its own and the important thing is the result.

“Best game of the year because of the concentration of each individual on the court as they entered the parquet? It certainly was, although I think there have been equally good games. Tonight everyone put something in to make the team better”.
