ALBINO (BG)
Ponzano uncorks the prosecco in Bergamo and celebrates the third consecutive salvation in A2: in the playout Albino also defeated at home, Schiavon even more authoritative than in race one. And finally the sufferings at least for this year are over.
At the first match ball, a test of maturity was expected from the green-and-whites and here it is: an impeccable defense, especially on Tyszkiewicz, who took the chair in the last quarter, which forced the Bergamo players to 2 points in the first 7 minutes, where that is the decisive break was made. Then some physiological suffering especially in the first half, without ever losing control of the situation. Suffice it to say that the last disadvantage was at 21-23 of the 14 ‘, then Ponzano definitively took the measures, he put the arrow and began to go seriously in the third quarter, which also started with a 0-5. At 31-31 in the 33rd minute Schiavon placed a lethal 10-0 (Miccoli from three) in 4 ‘which made the opponents fall to death. Advantage always in double figures that gradually expanded (57-41 at 37 ‘) to reach the top right in the final. Coach Zanco as in the race one has placed 4 in double figures, yet another fabulous double double by Costanza Miccoli (but signaling for Alessia Egwoh, best performance of the season), with Francesca Leonardi back to her levels.
However, it was a troubled season, even too much, tormented by injuries, Covid and the Iannucci case, the first focused on the collaboration with Reyer, which given the good results will continue, perhaps on other bases. Even if the company will make its own assessments for the future, in order to avoid repeating all the suffering suffered this year. –
