With Jefferson averaging 3,5 points, Pianigiani stated: “We have waited for him, now he must show what he can do. Indeed, now perhaps it is already too late. Theodore and Goudelock are very generous and they are trying to help the team. But when you are in a difficult time sometimes is better to stay simple. Today they have forced too much “.
After erasing a 17 points deficit Armani had a chance to win the game, or at least to force an overtime, but they failed and coach Simone Pianigiani is well aware of it: “Both teams deserved to win, it came down to one shot. It’s a very balanced and hard EuroLeague, we could be much closer to the top, but something is missing. We have to recuperate Darius Bertans who is now down and also Andrea Cinciarini and Davide Pascolo”, stated Pianigiani after the game.
The Italians now stand on a 4-11 record in the Turkish Airlines Euroleague and they are clearly not satisfied with it. “Many other big teams have issues. Anadolu Efes, Barcelona, Valencia which won the Spanish League. We have to find the way and react and transform” Pianigiani explained.
