Hi ¡
Well first of all, congratulations for Itally too, you and your staff did a good season(on my opinion this is like the final of the WC). We all know this kind of matchs that we usually play, both teams have the same chances to win and are always really close on the boxscore.
About the game i dindt have the luck to watch the live(I was doing a math test on the university) and only saw the last minute of the game. Anyway i waited to watch the full live at home to comment what you posted on our forum.
-Crazy game, with the turn overs changing the match constatly. About Quattrucci i dont really know his skills(I suppose you know Eyundiano skills since he was on the TL) even if Eyundiano improved on his OD(he really did) i suppose 3 skills here had a lot to say, JS, driving, passing.
Looking on the ratings i suppose the best at passing is Fiumara, so the only explanation i have is that since we were defending well on the inside, lot of posesions were over your SG and since i suppose(i dont know it) he is not great at passing he had to make lot of shot attempts. I also suppose Quattruci driving is not really high(and a high driving it increases a lot the % of the shoot attempts). Just look our players have drivings over 16-20 so they dont really need a good pass to score and Quatrucci needs it(i saw some shot attempts from quatrucci failed without receiving a pass from another italian player). So players like Lattanzi, Courel, Eyundiano that have really high JS-driving, really help them to have a good JS+driving to score easier than having a good JR.
(Lattanzis manager wrote me the other day he was sorry he missed the line-up on the srimmage(he has another spanish player on our NT, but i suppose Lattanzi is more important for Itally)
So thats my only explanation i can find to what happened with your SG(its hard to know since i dont know his skills, but i can imagine them or maybe im wrong ''with this little theory'') and the last thing, is that it seems that having a shot block attempt on a outside player it helps him to defend better(Eyundianos SB is at 7) and i saw him defend really well(having some SB skill it doesnt mean only he will make more SB, he will also defend better) but even that i dont really give a lot of use to SB...
Anyway good luck for the next season(We will need a BIG luck to win China next monday xD) and best regards to the italian community.
Marot.
