A triple to the siren condemns Riso Scotti against the burning defeat of Sangiorgese

Match point to point, Pavia loses too many balls and leaves the victory to the hosts missing the link with Legnano

SAN GIORGIO SU LEGNANO (MI)

A triple to the siren of Grilli condemns Riso Scotti, defeated at PalaBertelli by an aggressive Sangiorgese, which forced the Pavesi to lose a tide of balls, as many as 16, given that in a point-to-point match it makes all the difference in the world, as well as with a single steal against the eight of the hosts. Despite this, only a frontal triple at the last second gave victory to the hosts, hungry for salvation points. The 21 free throws thrown by the hosts also weighed against the 8 of the Pavesi, despite the Sangiorgese players defending hands on themselves throughout the match. The Pavia defense held up well, except in the last quarter, when they conceded too much to the hosts. A burning defeat: Pavia, still fifth, missed the opportunity to hook Legnano in the standings and to detach Alba, both defeated.

The match

Donadoni and Alessandrini respond with triple, then Scotti makes a mistake and does not bite in defense and Sangiorgese flies 9-3, forcing coach Ducarello to stop the game due to the bad start of his boys, who lose 4 balls on the opposing pressure ( 3 ‘). Pavia pulls with 11% overall, Ducarello puts Quarters. Torgano gives the alarm from three when Donadoni gives him a hand and the defense in the even front area works, the game is reopened (10 – 8, 7 ‘). Pavia always shoots with bad percentages, so a couple of baskets are enough that the hosts extend (14 – 8, 9 ‘). The longs of Riso Scotti combine little inside the area and the hosts take advantage of it, even if thanks to the defense Pavia is in the game. The Sangiorgese also gets points from the bench: Grilli puts in 7 as soon as he enters (23-14, 13 ‘). Calzavara returns in confidence, attacks the basket and brings home four important points (23–18, 14 ‘). Donadoni seems the only one on the ball, but it is enough for Corral to break free after 0/4 and Calzavara to continue attacking decisively and Pavia is there (26–24, 18 ‘). A trip to the bezel each to stay in a possession of difference.

Sangiorgese imposes rhythm and energy, Scotti emerged in arc (2/10), clinging to the percussion of Donadoni and Calzavara and to the free riders of Sgobba. Riso Scotti suffers from the aggressiveness of Sangiorgese and does not find offensive fluidity (11/30 from the field and 7 losses). Alessandrini scores immediately, then an infinite series of errors on both sides, with the defenses as protagonists (32-27, 23 ‘). The usual three-point Donadoni is in charge of putting the match back into play. The tie is the result of a three-point action by Calzavara (33–33, 24 ‘). Two consecutive triples by a revived Corral and the captain launch Pavia in front for the first time with a partial 0-9 (33–39, 25 ‘). Toso replies with five points in a row (38–39, 27 ‘). Sgobba and Torgano’s third triple raise Pavia, but the hosts are good at capitalizing on two offensive rebounds to keep under three quarters of the game (44–46, 30 ‘). Sgobba and Rajacic’s first basket try to launch the escape, but 5 points from Bargnesi stop it (49-50, 32 ‘). Torgano warmed his hand, but Bargnesi and Voltolini gave him the overtaking, before Ducarello called time out (53 – 52, 34 ‘). Final point by point, the hosts make no mistake (65–59, 38 ‘). Corral wakes up and brings Pavia back down (65–64). Quartieri puts the triple at 6 “from the siren and impacts on 69 even, but the Pavesi lose Grilli, who responds with the bomb of victory. –
