Those spent by Pallacanestro Trieste on the parquet of the Bonifika Arena were precious days for the growth of the championship group.
The Koper facility, in the days in which PalaTrieste is closed for parquet work, is a fundamental support for the work of a team that puts the tournament played in Jesolo behind them and the first part of the preparation to concentrate in the end. friends this preseason.
We will start in the afternoon, with a tap-off scheduled for 6 pm, against Cedevita Olimpia Ljubljana, an opponent with a European flavor that just returned, last week, from the tournament which was played against Panathinaikos, winner of the last Euroleague, Bayern Munich and Anadolu Efes.
Useful test against the new Slovenian cup and super cup champions, therefore, which we discussed with Francesco Taccetti, Jamion Christian’s assistant coach on the red and white bench from this year.
“The week after the Jesolo tournament – Taccetti said – was useful to us and certainly helped us to solve the load accumulated by the many games played in a few days. We had to fix some situations where we working to make it more effective in attack and defense and also the desire to add things to our repertoire to achieve the goals we set ourselves in this pre-season. It was a week where we spent many hours in the gym continuing to do a whole series of individual physical and technical work to help the players develop individually in situations where our game sees them as protagonists.
The match against Cedevita is certainly useful for giving a clearer reading even when a team that in the Jesolo tournament, first in the semi-final against Venice and then in the final against Reggio Emilia, played a two very different games.
“The match against Venezia – continued Taccetti – gave us comforting signals that we can compete if we are able to play with reasonable speed and aggression and at the same time if we are able to use physicality from a defensive point of view that point of view even against an opponent who usually has more centimeters and kilos than us. that day gave us signs of how important fitness is for us in the course of the season. Against Cedevita tonight, it was another difficult match from a physical and tactical point of view. A building opponent an important and long roster to be a protagonist in the next Eurocup, we will continue to work very focused on ourselves, pay attention to managing the rotations and give space to those who have minutes on their legs to save the those who have been charged from the point of recent days physically and need to breathe.” —
