Nothing to do for the Pf on the field of the Sicilian forts There are 5 games missing, to save at least the tenth place
RAGUSA
Pf Broni falls on the Passalacqua Ragusa field, in the recovery of the 19th day. The team of coach Alessandro Fontana holds up in the first part of the match, but the Sicilians stretch after the long break (thanks also to a 58% in the three-point shot), with the guests who invoice only 36 points per half hour, too few to worry one square team like Passalacqua. Now, when there are still 5 games left to play, the specter of play outs seems increasingly inevitable. The Pf will above all have to try to defend the tenth place, to have the advantage of the home factor in the play-offs.
The departure is deceiving
The Oltrepadana formation begins quite well, containing with an orderly defense the raids under the basket of the iblee, who are forced to seek conclusions from a long distance. Precisely from the arc of 6 meters and 75 the Passalacqua hurts the green-and-whites, finding four bombs (two each for Romeo and Marshall), which break the balance of the opening bars of the match. Pf is still present, trying to be seen in attack, relying in particular on the physicality under the basket of Reimer (10 points for her at the long break) and of Rulli who finds some important solutions. In short, Broni remains there for long stretches, putting a few specks of dust in the gears of the hosts, but at the end of the second quarter he pays, first a lost ball by Ianezic that favors the counterattack of Kuier, whose support at the basket is very simple, then on the siren a true champion play by Nicole Romeo, the Italian-Australian from Ragusa finds a shot from almost ten meters that rests softly in the retina, giving +12 to the Sicilians (40-28). The positive note at Broni is the return to the field of Elena Castello, stopped in the last three outings due to some physical problems. In the second half, with the passing of the minutes, the Passalacqua, thanks to the plays of its players of absolute technical-tactical value, extends the advantage, which becomes unbridgeable for the girls of coach Fontana. Ragusa spreads in the final, finding conclusions from any position on the pitch. As they say in basketball, the basket becomes a “bathtub” for the iblee. The last three minutes are for statistics only. Before the duo, the president of Ragusa, Davide Passalacqua, paid homage to the overseas point guard Agnese Soli, who for five seasons had worn the tank top of the Sicilian Eagles. Broni is back on the pitch on Saturday, at the Segafredo Arena in Bologna, against the hosts of Virtus Segafredo (ball two at 18) for the 23rd day.
