For the Trentino people this is the last call to try to move up the rankings, thus abandoning the last place and removing the zero from the entry ‘Victories’. In the three days played so far, in fact, Coach Lele Molin’s team has only suffered defeats: two at home (against Badalona And Panavezys) and an external one (ad Andorra), in which the difference has always been above the double digit. The excellent returns of Jordan Caroline (14 points on average) and Cameron Reynolds (11.3 points) were not enough to be able to prevail over their opponents so far. In the championship, on the other hand, Flaccadori and his companions, the fifth place thanks to a record of 4-3 (success against Brescia in the advance on Saturday of the seventh day, 78-72). me too French of the Metropolitan of Bologna 92 they did not start the EuroCup journey in the best way, winning only a game (at home against i Polish of the Slask Wroclaw at the second day for 86-83) and losing the other two (both away, against the Turks of Turk Telekom Ankara and against the Russians of the Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar).
