San Miniato conquers PalaBasletta also in race 2, on Friday the last chance for Elachem to reopen the discussion
VIGEVANO
Now it is really difficult for Vigevano to keep the series open. Difficult. But not impossible. Elachem also last night in race 2, as happened on Saturday, was able to reassemble San Miniato. However, he won both and on Friday at home he can close the discussion by flying to the semifinals. Vigevano has not been able to find the right countermeasures to an unpredictable team, with players able to play both as a team and in one-on-one, as well as to commit even Marchiani mistakes, of which Elachem often failed to take advantage. If in the first two quarters Vigevano seemed to have found the solution to defuse the opponents, in the final he again left room for the Tuscans, falling into their net.
Vigevano dragged by a frenzied Filippo Rossi in the first 5 ‘manages to keep up with the guests, thanks also to Tassone’s baskets. For San Miniato Lorenzetti takes the chair who alone holds the match in a draw. The Tuscans try to escape in the second period but Vigevano finds the same basket in Bevilacqua from 3 (17-17). In defense the yellow and blue suffer one on one and Neri takes advantage of it trying to draw the groove.
Tassone mends the tear
Vigevano relies in attack on the usual Tassone to mend the tear, which allows the ducals to go to rest at 35-37. Upon returning, Piazza chooses a low quintet, to take advantage of the shots from the perimeter, but what makes the difference is the entry of Giorgi, able to give consistency under the basket, together with the magic of Tassone, who unleashes perhaps his best fourth from the start. season. If there were the public he would be standing to applaud the Piedmontese player, who puts order in defense, scores from the perimeter, takes impossible shots from below and supported by the physicality of Giorgi, by the determination of Rossi and by the passages of Borsato and Mazzucchelli, accompanies Vigevano to conquer the equal (47-47 thanks to a triple from Passerini who entered recently) and also to put his head forward a little. San Miniato certainly does not let the hosts escape and we arrive at the last fourth point to point. The guests start off on the right foot in the last quarter and immediately draw a 0-8 break that brings the result to 55-63, frustrating the efforts of the entire third period of Vigevano. San Miniato also has to deal with an unforeseen event, namely the injury that at 32 ‘puts an end to Caversazio’s game with a negative foul count (three players with three fouls and one against four). However, to come out for five fouls is Rossi for Vigevano in the 35th minute when the result is 56-67. The ducals in the last minutes try them all, but the inertia does not change. –
