Scariolo: "We have to move the ball well and contain their transitional play"
"Paris Basketball has a very high offensive potential and great speed," the coach explained on Realmadrid TV.
Sergio Scariolo spoke on Realmadrid TV about the Whites' game against Paris Basketball, corresponding to the 17th round of the Euroleague (Thursday, 8:45 pm CET). The coach analysed the opposition: "They are a very special team, very different from others. They are the team that scores the most, has the most pace, makes the most three-pointers and is the best at offensive rebounding. They have a very high offensive potential and great speed."
"The first challenge is going to be to contain their transitional play, especially with the acceleration of Hifi and Robinson, and to do it without getting too far away from the others, because they have a lot of shooters. Offensively, they defend very aggressively all over the court, with two-on-ones. We have to be able to move the ball well."
"It's a game where we have to be able to use the bounce intelligently and use the pass to find the open teammate and rely on a three-point shooting percentage that allows us to compete against these teams, who have a lot of shooting ability from 6.75."
