CASALECCHIO DI RENO (BO)

In the Befana sock, Bertram Tortona found her third away victory of the season, beating the Unahotels Reggio Emilia of the Pavia-based coach Attilio Caja in the recovery of the 13th day, at the Unipol Arena in Casalecchio di Reno. A fundamental success to try to enter the top eight at the end of the first leg, therefore qualify for the final eight of the Italian Cup, scheduled in Pesaro from 16 to 20 February next. The previous external success of the Lions arrived on the Marches field on 17 October.

In Reggio, a first quarter in flames, with the two teams arriving from several days off and not shooting at their best from distance: 36% for the Bianconeri, 30% for the Emilians. The defense in the Tortona area harnesses the Unahotels attack; while in attack the performance of Jp Macura is determined, who signs the first 5 points of his team. Incredible his triple at the start of the second quarter, when from the corner, with one foot out of the field, he slips the retina. As soon as the Bertram passes to man, the Unahotels attack stops and the Lions place a 9-1 run. Time out forced for Caja, who finds a super Cinciarini and the minus 1 (28-29). If the “Cincia” turns, Reggio also turns, which remains there, replying bomb after bomb in Tortona. The game goes by on the rails of equilibrium, with continuous changes of leadership.

last decisive quarter

Thus we arrive at the last quarter with Reggio Emilia ahead by only one length. Bertram makes a good impact on the last period of the game, still touching the plus 8, then Reggiana does not properly exploit the technical foul in Macura, but always remains there. Chris Wright takes the chair looking for iron, finds a playground play, keeping the Piedmontese team ahead. Sanders with a bomb, the fifth of his evening, seems to close the contest, but Hopkins brings Reggio back to – 6. Caja, with her experience, really tries them all and the game remains open until the final siren because Olevicius’s bomb brings back the red and white from Emilia at minus 4 (84-88) 13 seconds from the siren. Ramondino calls time to take advantage of the throw-in in the frontcourt at the resumption of play. Tavernelli is fouled and scores a free. On the other hand, Olevicius tries again, but this time he finds the iron. The game ends here and Tortona wins his second consecutive victory. On Sunday, with a duo ball at 17.30, for the last of the first round, the Lions will play at the Mediolanum Forum in Assago against Armani Milano. –
