Azimut Modena back to win with Earvin and Swan Ngapeth back into the roster, with Earvin named Mvp of the game with 14 points in the end, helping Radostin Stoytchev’s team to grab three road points in Bari at PalaFlorio over Bcc Castellana Grotte. “Together for the win” said Ngapeth in last week, together with the team and together with coach Radostin Stoytchev. As usual the franchman made the difference on the court, helped obviously by Bruno in playmaking, who dished some great sets to all his hammers. Italian national team Giulio Sabbi was the best scorer for Azimut Modena with 15 points. On the other hand a strong game by greek Georgios Tzioumakas, 23 points for him, but nothing else from coach Pino Lorizio’s team was able to step up and make the difference versus the powerhouse from Emilia Romagna.

Georgios Tzioumakas (BCC Castellana Grotte): “We tried on tonight, versus a team full of phenomenons. We put them in trouble in third set, when we could win the set. Despite the loss we are on the right way, in last month we worked hard, we want to continue this way, we know we can do good things, and we will”.
Radostin Stoytchev (Azimut Modena): “We were good in first two sets, in third we got down, and in trying to come back we missed alot of fundamentals, like the serve. We should be more focused, strong down the net, but in this moment the most important thing is the result. We are working the right way, we need just a little time to come back our levels”.
