PREVIEW VIRTUS SEGAFREDO BOLOGNA-BERTRAM DERTHONA TORTONA
Still in a standstill in the Euroleague after the defeat of the principality, playing well in the first 20′, destruction in the seconds, the Virtus he returned to the LBA to maintain his undefeated record. When he visits the parquet, friend, la Bertram Tortona who lost first place by losing at home against Trieste on Sunday. In the first 2 outings there were 2 comeback victories, with Cremona and Varese. For 2 years the Piedmontese also played in Europe, BCL, where they took advantage of 2 consecutive home games for 2 victories, the last one this week, a good blow against Baxi Manresa. The team that caused a lot of concern in the last playoff against Virtus (series won 3-2) includes many new faces, especially among the starting wingers. The Kuhse-Vital duo got off to a great start with over 30 points and 8 assists, supported by Candi and Balsasso, a shooter not to be underestimated, as well as newcomer Denegri, author of one good weather in Cremona. On the wing, Strautins’ prices are rising, while ex-favorite Kyle Weems is playing fewer but more quality minutes. In the center it was confirmed again that Milano Kamagate was loaned (3rd in value, 8.3 rebounds per game so far, tied for 4th with Zizic), who had a bigger start to the season compared to last year, to give he supports the component of Biligha, while in 4 the Lithuanian champion with Rytas in Vilnius, Gorham to play the role with Severini, who returned after a long injury. Among the great people is Zerini, who until now has been very marginal. Walter De Raffaele is still at the helm with a team that is accurate in shooting from 2, especially from 3, but with only 3 games behind them (and one drugged Varese not defending) to take with a pinch of salt. . In the LBA they did not shine, unlike in the BCL, as Virtus will undoubtedly have to perform themselves to maintain the first place. But in addition to what has not been said so far, in order to remove the concerns that come from the European front, it is necessary to recover the assurances of the players who have so far been angry and not used enough, even for moderate results such as no convince those who decide to give them more minutes. Pajola’s back problem should make his teammates lose responsibility.
