Italy coach: ‘Fontecchio will be a beast in the NBA’
Italy head coach Gianmarco Pozzecco talked about the game of Simone Fontecchio, who missed two shots from the line at the end of regular time (85:93) in the EuroBasket 2022 quarter-final match against France.
“Once Banya Prelevich told me something. I was frustrated when I missed too many shots after a game. He asked me how many shots I had missed in my life before. I said I don’t know, maybe 5000. Yes? Prelevich said this is our life.
How you play and how you train matters. Fontecchio’s love for the game… He will be in the NBA in a month. And it will be a monster, you’ll see.
It’s happened to everyone. I suffer because he doesn’t deserve this. He’s a strong, tough guy. He will not sleep at night. But in a few days you’ll know what you’re doing. “Pozzecco was the MVP of EuroBasket.”
