Three quarters in control, then the inexplicable collapse with 10 horror movie minutes. And so Treviglio flies to the final with Pistoia
UDINE. The Apu Old Wild West sees the Super Cup final and then gets thrown away, gets lost, we don’t know what, leaving Treviglio with the possible glory. That embarked for the Apu in the last 10 ‘of the semifinal in Lignano. Unexpected, we hope to say goodbye.
There is a before and after the triple of Renzi’s overtaking two minutes from the end of the third quarter. The first is an Old Wild West that drives, does not dominate, but controls a match with Treviglio thanks to the usual defense and very long rotations, which however do not include Nobile, not included in the race list and sent back to change by the referees after a slip worthy of the minors and not a high-level A2 Series.
Then the triple of Crimes, frontal, which certifies, after a month of preparation and always won matches, the first real moment of difficulty for the APU. Why Treviglio, followed by three, three noisy fans, with Potts, the young Bogliardi, Fernandez. Lupusor and the son of coach Bryan Sacchetti from that triple start another game, made up of ignorant bombs, determination, defense, the desire to amaze by taking away from the most popular rivals the great certainties that they had had for over two quarters.
At the first difficulty, however, the Apu went to the ropes. Easy baskets from Treviglio, bloodthirsty pick and roll that the Apu did not know how to counter, even counter-attacks caught after the rivals went at two per hour for minutes and minutes. Avalanches of turnovers, avalanches. Almost all nineteen in the final. What happened in Udine one step away from an announced final?
An embarkation, that’s what it is, at the end of September can happen, even more so if you still miss Lacey, the one that was supposed to be the team’s beacon. The fact is that in the last quarter the Boniciolli band concentrated all the worst of its repertoire, leaving Treviglio, victorious 84-73, with a galvanized Potts in the final, the chance to win his first trophy.
He will play at 6 pm against Pistoia. Three hours before the Serie B Super Cup will try to bring the Gesteco Cividale to Friuli. Micalich who wins a trophy, Pedestrian who stays dry. Knowing a little about the president will turn the boxes enormously. But, dear “pres”, it is better to lose the Supecoppa than the championship. Let’s put it this way.
