Uunahotels challenges Dinamo Sassari: Priftis focuses on defense and team play

Second away game in a row and second consecutive midday for the Uunahotels who, after the blitz in Naples last Sunday, will return to the field tomorrow at midday Sassari for the eleventh day of Serie A.

So coach Dimitris Priftis presented the challenge: "I consider the Dynamo Sassari one of the most organized and disciplined teams, especially in the offensive half of the court, in the entire Serie A. It has a great ability to read situations and a very high level of execution. Furthermore, it is able to recognize the weak points of the opposing defenses and punish them. For this reason, there is no doubt that our chances of success start, as always, from our defensive mentality and the ability to play with both concentration and energy. However, I think that it will also be necessary to improve and raise our level of offensive effectiveness, passing the ball more and trying to play a basketball that is choral and consistent".
