Attack and control. The one with Vanoli was a direct confrontation in all respects: after Sassari’s success against the Galbiati boys and Wednesday’s blitz in Varese, the biancoblù made the trio with a fluctuating performance once again in defense, but with a great personality and an avalanche of censors: after 14-13 of the 5 ‘, they took the lead of the race and held it until the end, forcing Cremona to make the pendulum between -6 and -15, but rejecting every time the comeback attempts of Spanish & c.
Before the escape. Dinamo plays very well in attack right from the start, even if they don’t find great percentages. On the other hand, the biancoblù have a little less clear ideas. Cavina immediately sends in Battle and from 9-4 he goes back with a 7-0 break propitiated by Bendzius. Cremona reacts by finding two triples with Spanish and Cournooh, Cavina retools the quintet again by inserting Logan and the response is immediate, with Clemmons and Logan himself bombarding from beyond the arc and signing on 17-21 at 2’30 “from the end of the period. .
The first push. The Banco still concedes a few easy points, but on the other side we go to the basket which is a pleasure: Battle sculpts the 28 (at 21) with which the Sassari reach the first siren. The +10 is around the corner and arrives immediately, with Gentile’s triple (21-31), Dinamo misses the +13 triple twice but holds the match firmly in hand, with Vanoli starting to sauté from beyond the arch. Mekowulu finally signs up for the match with the dunk of 21-33, Cournooh closes Banco’s 10-0 break and even if the unsportsmanlike booed at Burnell does not score even a point, the Cremonese come back insisting with the shot from outside : Tinkle and Spagnolo reopen the game at 32-37 and stay alive thanks to a sidereal field goal by Poeta (35-40). Dinamo lost laps and at 39-42 Cavina asked for a timeout, 2’04 ”from the break. Bendzius still pulls the chestnuts out of the fire with a bomb and the biancoblù engine in the meantime is rekindled, with a couple of excellent defenses, while the Bendzius-Burnell couple who signs the 39-49 mid-race.
Full control. Cavina restarts with Battle small forward and Burnell four in place of Bendzius. The maximum advantage biancoblù (43-56) lasts a moment: Cremona hits with Pecchia and Miller and is back there, 51-56. Treier sees himself for a moment, Dinamo have a flamboyant Battle, already at 18 points after 24 ‘, and Clemmons, who still hits from a distance for the mid-term 53-63. Cremona makes the pendulum, hits -6 twice and is immediately chased away by Logan and Clemmons (58-69). Banco holds the match firmly in hand and extends again with Mekowulu and Gentile, touching +15 (60-75 at 1’40 “). Cremona revives with a 3-point game of Spanish before the third siren (65-75), and it is still the baby owned by Real Madrid to play the charge with another 6 consecutive points, for 71-77.
Time for the tough. There are still more than 8 ‘and, as often happens, Bendzius arrives at the time of the hardships, who puts in a super triple. Even the biancoblù defense starts working again, with three recoveries in a row that are pure oxygen, also because the shooting percentages get dirty. After the new +13 (71-84) there are a couple of free mistakes, Vanoli starts to believe it again and 2’47 ”is at -6, 84-90. Here’s the other champion, here’s Logan with the triple of the match. Dinamo sees the finish line, Cremona raises the white flag while Chessa closes the accounts with the 87-98 bomb. See you again in Bologna: Brindisi, again you?
