Many mistakes, Scotti generous but ends up ko Corral is not enough to overcome San Miniato

Pavia misses a lot in shooting and concedes something too much in defense to the Tuscans. The best scorer pivot with 17 points

san miniato

Riso Scotti struggles and puts its heart into it, but gives up in the battle of Race 5 in San Miniato. Too many turnovers from Pavia, who did not show the same determination and intensity on Sunday. The Tuscan team thus enters the final for the A2 with Cremona. Pavia has a lot to complain about in a match that started subdued, where too many turnovers triggered the counterattack, enthusiasm and intensity of the Pisans, who in defense raised their hands more than their opponents, while the referees allowed a bit of everything. The tactic of giving the ball under the long shots was so wrecked, because the colored area became a trap that rewarded the hosts to the detriment of the most technicians from Pavia. In rebound the Pavesi held up but they were very imprecise in shooting. Applause, however, in Pavia, who came to play game 5 against a San Miniato that had won the regular season.

Donadoni in quintet

Donadoni starts in the quintet in the hot PalAgricole, loses a ball, shoots force and San Miniato takes the lead: he will hold the lead until the siren. Pavia thwarts the good job with trivial turnovers (17-10.4 ‘). Mastrangelo da tre and Ducarello stops everything. Pavia comes out of time out with two free shots from Calzavara, then Quartieri gets stopped, but San Miniato does not capitalize (19-12.8 ‘). It starts with a basket and a foul, San Miniato escapes (23-16, 11 ‘). Another face and immediately a basket for Donadoni’s “Crazy Horse”, but for three it’s not an evening for anyone. Any mistake in attack turns into an opponent’s basket. The young people of San Miniato are exalted, run, attack, score in every way against a Pavia defense with zero intensity and put a first mortgage on the final (29-20.13 ‘). The Scotti also tries the even front area. But she can’t stop the Tuscans who reach the maximum advantage (34-24.16 ‘). The shots are also well built but do not go in and the defense lacks aggression. Then Donadoni grows up and drags his companions (37-32.20 ‘).

Mastrangelo creates the shot from the dribble to stretch at the beginning of the third quarter. The area is pierced by the corner of Benites. Many mistakes, but San Miniato holds up in a challenge that now gives space to the nerves and an arbitration that lets go too much (43-37.25 ‘). Donadoni’s triple brings Pavia closer (43-40.26 ‘). Benites too alone puts a vital triple to keep San Miniato ahead (46-42.28 ‘). Two lost by Pavia and 5-0 partial that close the match (50-42.29 ‘). The technician taken by Ducarello on the umpteenth foul suffered under the basket by the Pavesi not whistled puts a tombstone (54-42.30 ‘). Pavia tries to raise his head, Donadoni redeems himself but Lorenzetti and Mastrangelo close the game, while Pavua also makes a mistake from the line. –
