Era a bit ‘that a player from Treviso was not among the best in the Italian national team. Akele’s 18 against the Netherlands are naturally his career high in blue, which came to fill a gap that lasted over 12 years: and here clearly we need to return to Benetton Basket. In fact, the last player of a team from Treviso to have made the big game for the national team was Andrea Renzi, who on June 16 2009 in the friendly match won against Croatia 82-76 scored 21. Going back in time we then find Marco Mordente, who the June 27, 2005 he gave 21 to Spain, then Matteo Soragna, on September 13, 2008 in Finland-Italy 62-69 he was the author of 18 points. Then Massimo Bulleri, 24 points in Bosnia Herzegovina-Italy on 7 September 2003; Denis Marconato with 17 points sparkled in the All Stars-Italy match on November 26, 1999; for the “pando”, Davide Bonora, 15 in Latvia-Italy 75-85, 25 June 1997. Stefano Rusconi made 22 on 17 November 1992 in the 102-79 defeat in Croatia. Naturally, the green-and-white bomber par excellence, Massimo Iacopini, could not be missing: “Rambo” on November 20, 1987 spliced 25 in the basket of Daytona University, beaten by 87-78. —
