Captain Belinelli remained in the city: "My future? I'll evaluate at the end of the season". Ivanovic saves the first 20 minutes: "We lost ourselves in the second half"

ISTANBUL (Türkiye) A Virtus two-faced. Well, to tell the truth very good in the second quarter. Not very effective, also due to the greater defensive quality of theEphesos in the second half. "Congratulations to Banchi's team, they played better than us in the second half and deserved the victory – coach underlines Dusko Ivanovic –. We had a good first half, in which we defended well and did the same in attack. The difference was seen in the second half where we were not able to contain them in defense, while in attack we got lost and did not find clear options, with only Shengelia able to put their defense in difficulty". Those who for once followed the team from home are Marco Belinelli, to whom Ivanovic grants a turn of rest. Interviewed by Alessandro Cattelan in the Hot Ones format, available on Raiplay, the captain spoke about his past in the NBA, his present and what awaits him. "My future? Let's see how this season ends, there are still 4-5 months to go, then I'll have to start thinking about whether it's time to continue or not. There are many things to consider: I would like to finish with what I am, that is, as a player, and not with a slow decline. If I see that my body is sending me some signals, I will accept them and move on. For now there is no date and I'm not thinking about it yet". Filippo Mazzoni
