Two games in one, for the Under 19 Gold to the PalaVenturi. Dominant for over two thirds of the match, touching the +28 on the 46-18, it's still +25 a 3'00. Per poi staccare la corrente nell'attaccare la difesa a zona allungata del CVD, which was not new but something that had also been worked on. But the blackout was mental, allo 0-6 followed, on the +25, a 0-11 even more inexplicable, which effectively halved that +28 in +14 the third siren, 49-35, taking a break from 3-17 which leads us to lose the partial for 13-17, after having conducted it for 13-6...
It's not a technical question but a question of maintaining high concentration even when the game seems over. La riprova si è avuta nell'ultimo quarto, why the 12-21 which saw Francesco Francia risk compromising everything, by getting closer up to -4 at the end, It has no technical explanation, but only that of having stopped doing one's own things and having become confused. Behind the 61-56 the final result, then, two partials must be placed, the positive one of 49-24 and the negative one of 12-32.
Already mentioned about the blackout, vanno sottolineate le tante cose giuste fatte fin dall'inizio dai ragazzi di Andrea Mondini: aggressive all-court defense, continuità nell'andare a rimbalzo e gioco di squadra. Thus was born 7 a 0 initial (tap in by Gianluca Forino in the first action, free throw and counterattack by Giacomo Rocchi and outside basket by Mattia Galvan), became the +11 of the 15-4 on Gianlu's cutting basket and Nicolò Bettini's free throws, Jack and Nicolò Paro. Then Betto's new lunge with a dunk, free by Riccardo Turrini, 2+1 by Alessandro Benini and free final by Carlo Imbonati, 22-10.
E' ancora in difesa che aumentiamo il vantaggio nel secondo quarto, in attack we make good team plays that launch first Nicolò Pedini and then Turro on the counterattack, Nicolò Paro's triple scores the +18 of the 30-12, then the free ones of Nicolò Franceschini and Mattia, more counterattack and entry to the rim by Mattia himself bring us to altitude 36, but what weighs most are the 8 points only awarded to CVD, con il punteggio all'intervallo di +18 on the 36-18.
Nei primi 3' del terzo quarto continuiamo a fare noi il gioco: Pedo scores 6 points, Tower 2 free, Gianlu e Betto fanno un'azione da recupero e canestro. We get to +28 on the 46-18. Then, il blackout. From then on we will only score three free throws with Carlo, finding ourselves at the third siren a +14, 49-35. Iniziamo l'ultimo quarto con la tripla di Jack e il canestro di Betto, but we suffer an inexplicable 0-11. Nicolò Paro's triple gives us oxygen, Gianlu's recovery and counterattack brings us back to +11 a 2'39" (59-48). The CVD will report below once again, until the -4 a 1'20", but we close it with two free throws from Nicolò Franceschini.
