“Virtus Bologna is the surprise team of the EuroLeague this season, but it’s not by chance. They play very versatile on offense: Pick-and-roll, low-post game with Shengelia, one-on-one situations, excellent shooting with Belinelli – they have it all! And whenever things aren’t going well, they can rely on Shengelia. That makes Bologna extremely difficult to defend.
Defensively, they are also strong and apply a lot of pressure on the ball. Virtus is truly a great team. On Friday, we want to play again with a lot of effort and energy. Our defense must be aggressive, and our communication on the court needs to improve. Offensively, I want to see good ball movement, and we also want to utilize the pick-and-roll even better” stated Israel Gonzalez.
