Playoffs: Ivanovic calls for concentration at Segafredo Arena for game 2

There is no time to even enjoy the victory in 1 race that the second challenge of the series is already looming, scheduled for tomorrow at 20.30pm at Segafredo Arena. Present and future the words of coach Dusko Ivanovic analyze the situation after the 1-0. "The first match of the playoff It's always very difficult – the Montenegrin coach begins – We played a good game gaining a decent lead, but then we weren't focused, committing too many turnovers and making too many mistakes in the final stages". A message from Ivanovic to his team, from whom he expects the maximum for all 40 minutes, without drops but with great consistency of performance. "When you have a big lead you can think, by making a mistake, that you've already closed the accounts, then instead a few too many turnovers, a few quick baskets from your opponents and the game reopens; basketball is like that. We can't allow ourselves these empty passages, we must always stay focused". Then the Juventus coach talks about the individuals, in particular Payola, the best on the field and Taylor on his debut. "Pajola's performance? He's not at one hundred percent yet. Taylor? He arrived only a few days ago, he has ambition and the desire to do well, he showed it straight away, but we have to gradually integrate him".

Among the protagonists on the field Momo Diouf, 8 points scored and a performance that was growing. "We started off at full speed even though we relaxed a bit towards the end – confirmed the Juventus forward – We played as a team, putting in the energy that wasn't always there this season, I'm happy with the result. Venice made a good run in the final stages, well done to them. For game 2 we expect a Reyer even more combative and aggressive, we will certainly need a little more continuity".
