“Like the first game against the Philippines, I think we approached the game in the right way,” said Italy guard Marco Belinelli, who scored a team-high 17 points. “Everybody was aggressive on offense and defense.”
Italy last played at the flagship event back in 2006, during the last World Cup held in Asia. One of the players who saw action for the Azzurri back then is San Antonio Spurs three-point specialist Marco Belinelli, who remembers his previous World Cup experience well. “Being back in the World Cup is a very big achievement,” he said. “It’s a great competition, and I was on that 2006 team. We had a young team then, but we’ve always seen this as a great and important competition.”
The now 33-year-old Belinelli is confident they have what it takes to make a big splash in the tournament. “I think we have a good team,” he declared. “We’re ready to play. For sure, there are teams that people say are better than us, but at the same time, we are just focused on being better everyday, in every practice and in every game.”
Meo Sacchetti cut out Giampaolo Ricci and Brian Sacchetti from Italy’s roster for the World Cup and the 12 remaining players to compete in China are the following: Amedeo Della Valle, Marco Belinelli, Alessandro Gentile, Paul Biligha, Luca Vitali, Danilo Gallinari, Daniel Hackett, Ariel Filloy, Jeff Brooks, Amedeo Tessitori, Awudu Abass, and Luigi Datome.
