Edilnol, what a pity: the leaders Cantù passes to the last basket. For Biella the tenth knockout in a row

by admin

The slap in the face reaches 58 cents from the company: a Johnson basket that cancels Edilnol’s comeback and offers Cantù the two points that keep it at the top of the green group standings. The final 75-77 is the tenth punishment for a team that has never been as close as this time to the big target, indeed very big, one of the teams built to win over this A2. The merit? The character that a Forum that was first silent, with the curve in solidarity with the strike of the Lombard ultras and then almost as noisy as it once was, rewarded with open-air applause, as if the outcome had been different. What was missing? That shred of pure talent Cantù has always leaned on, with Sergio or Bucarelli’s triples frustrating comeback attempts throughout the match. And above all with a Johnson who, when he served, got rid of Pollone’s heroic defense to win it almost alone.
The breaking latest news tells of a two-sided game. In the surreally silent Forum, the guest quintet is immediately scary: Johnson (on the pitch with Allen, Nikolic, Da Ros and Bayehe) opens the dance with an open triple granted by a bad Rossoblù defensive rotation. Biella, at the start with Soviero, Hasbrouck, Pollone, Davis and Morgillo, to unlock he must wait for a Pollone number (the triple of 3-5) surrounded by a singular referee call: foul the attacker after the shot and the basket is still valid. Fatigue in attack is now a burden in Edilnol’s bags. It is also true in front of one of the best teams in the group that has its first blaze to climb 5-12 again with Johnson on whom Hasbrouck tries to sacrifice himself. It takes a dunk from Davis to return to -3 and convince Sodini in the first time out in the middle of the period. The pause for reflection is more useful to Cantù who finds the maximum advantage on 13-21 with the bomb of the former Stefanelli. The two teams finish the fourth in the zone: Bertetti punishes her with a rainbow in penetration, Sergio does more with the triple. The 17-26 rounded by Bianchi in the line photographs a game that the guests manage easily thanks to 60 percent shooting.
Edilnol struggling to find his baskets still needs more defense. He finds it and manages to shorten it, even if less than it could get given the effort: Soviero’s -5 comes from the line when the guests are already in bonus. A free throw from Morgillo is also worth 28-32. But Cantù, struggling to shoot, finds comfort when the time trial is stopped: she scores ten points in a row for the free players and keeps at bay the attempts to get closer to a Biella pushed also by the public who resume cheering after a Davis bomb. So the long interval still comes with a deep distance between the two contenders: 37-47 with only Davis in double figures and 12 turnovers.
The resumption of the game deludes the Acqua San Bernardo up to the maximum advantage (+14 on 40-54). But after a timeout by Zanchi there is not only defense to reward the Rossoblu’s efforts: first Bianchi enters the game with a bomb, then Hasbrouck imitates him as he starts a very personal show. His baskets, sometimes invented out of thin air, which lead up to 56-58. Biella also has the overtaking ball but a foul by Morgillo in attack says it is not yet time. So Cantù is saved once more, also made safer by a triple from Bucarelli for the new +6. But the former Stefanelli takes care of keeping Edilnol in the game: a foul that disputes, coach, four free for the rossoblù. One puts Bianchi, two Pollone and the sprint starts with a head to head: 61-64.
The beginning of the last period is made tiring because Zanchi lets some owners rest. But guests fail to escape beyond +5. Instead a 4-0 signed by Morgillo (after a ball stolen by Bianchi) and by Hasbrouck is worth -1. Still not enough: Cusin in the line, Sergio, after a bad attack from Biella and a triple off center by Pollone, and Da Ros bring the Lombards back to 65-73. Edilnol puts in three turnovers almost in a row and Johnson seals the break at +10. Over? The clock would suggest yes, with 2’20 ” to play. But there is a distant precedent with a sensational comeback and, given the due proportions, it almost seems to relive it. Two by Morgillo, three by Davis and with 70 seconds still available, the points to be recovered remain 5. Cantù loses the first ball on Cusin’s attacking foul and suffers Davis’s -3. He then gives Edilnol the second on a throw-in infraction. The first insult is Pollone’s triple of the draw canceled by an attacking foul by Morgillo. But after a mistake by Johnson, Bianchi receives from Davis when there are 5 seconds left: his triple is worth 75 all and an explosion of joy that the Forum has been missing for some time. A joy that was immediately strangled by Johnson’s masterpiece with the arrest and shot from five meters less than a second from the siren. Perfect him, good and once again not very happy Biella. On Sunday there is the challenge of always defeats against Orzinuovi. It will weigh a lot, but the team is there.
