Germani Brescia and Prometey Slobozhanske enter their Round 2 meeting at PalaLeonessa A2A after differing displays in the opening round, with Brescia losing on the road to Joventut Badalona and Prometey winning at home to 7Bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys. For both teams, there are some specific areas in which they must have success if they are to emerge with the win.
Keys to victory: Brescia vs. Prometey



Making threes can help Brescia
In Round 1, Brescia was able to keep pace with Joventut until the fourth quarter, when the hosts pulled away and sealed a 17-point triumph. Better outside shooting could aid Brescia this time as it hit just 6 of 28 attempts (21.4%) from behind the arc in its opener. Another key area in which Brescia should seek improvement is with its ball movement, having notched just 7 assists to Joventut's 23 in Round 1. Amedeo Della Valle had 4 of Brescia's assists himself, so sharing the ball around will be crucial when Prometey visits PalaLeonessa A2A.

Prometey must keep the turnovers to a minimum
Prometey shined brightly in its opening-round win over Lietkabelis, but there are two areas that it could focus on to improve its chances of a win against Brescia. First, a better night from three-point range could make life a little easier for everyone, having gone 5 of 25 (20.0%) from deep in Round 1. Then, although it did a good job of sharing the ball with 22 assists, the 14 turnovers it committed could prove to be a problem on the road, so taking better care of the ball will be key.
