Bertram Derthona Tortona returns home to host Dolomiti Energia Trentino in Round 26 of LBA Serie A Unipol, scheduled for Sunday, April 12th at 18:00, live on LBATV.
How do the two teams arrive?
The team coached by Mario Fioretti will try to redeem themselves after two consecutive away losses, first against Openjobmetis Varese and then against Nutribullet Treviso Basket.
Bertram Derthona Tortona is coming off a 91-86 loss at PalaVerde against Marcelo Nicola's team, despite Christian Vital's 16 points.
The first-round match against Trento
The match against Trento in the first round was the first seasonal setback for Bertram, who lost 89-75 at the BTS Arena.
Iacopo Squarcina's point
Iacopo Squarcina, Mario Fioretti's assistant, presents the challenge: 'What we need to do is improve defensively, especially at the individual level. Trento is very similar to Varese and Treviso in terms of the many unpredictabilities they create from 1-on-1 situations and possessions in the first seconds.'
'We will have to be very focused on that,' Squarcina adds. 'The important thing is that individual responsibility is accompanied by a team defense, with mutual help.'
