Treviso Basket returns to victory after 7 knockouts in a row: Trento beaten 78-73

The Nutribullet takes a very important step towards salvation by overcoming the Dolomiti Energia thanks to the couple Bortolani-Jones

TREVISO. “Bonuses finished, out of the co …”, read the banner of the south curve. And their team pulled them out at the most opportune moment, that is the most difficult, when it was evident that it was clearly in difficulty, caught back by indomitable opponents. So many games had been lost like this, recovered in the last quarter, but this time it ended upside down and who knows if the path in the tunnel is finally over.

This time in theory could be the switch, the turning point: Trento paired in the standings but 0-2 with TvB, broken negative streak and on Sunday the equally fundamental test in Cremona. This time, therefore, it is not over as with the Fortitudo, the Eagle was plucked by a Nutribullet that benefited from the best Jones of the season: certain hierarchies now appear clear, the new center that will arrive, and it will not be Derek Cooke, will take minutes to Sims, again appeared despondent but also unconvinced of what he does ..

Jones’s reverse dunk and Chillo’s lay-up set the 11-2 at 3 ‘with a 9-0 and 5/6 from the field. And the bomb from Bortolani responds to the 5-0 from Trentino. It is obvious that it takes very little to be put back together: 14-13 at 7 ‘. Trento too easily finds spaces under the Treviso basket, Menetti brings in 10 in 8 minutes, Vettori included, which goes to Flaccadori. The averages of TvB are lowered, Bradford signs the overtaking before Dimsa at the edge of the first siren brings back the +1.

Treviso comes back with the small ball (Russell-Imbrò-Dimsa), expects more pressure on their exteriors and greater ball circulation: Russell is possessed and does not seem to have returned from a dug-out, whoever really goes to a cylinder, at least in attack, remains Sims. And if the shot from outside does not enter, it is painful. Ultimately you travel arm in arm or almost. Bortolani, however, is splendid from every tile (3/3 from three) and Imbrò, the other in double figures, already has 7 assists at the long break; here, if you could take a few more defensive rebounds, however, a Trentino home specialty, you could also think of a more substantial extension than the however positive 42-34 of the 18 ‘. A nice counterattack concluded by Chillo and four mistakes by Reynolds make the double-digit advantage touch at the beginning of the second half: 54-43 with two-handed by Jones.

Of course, poor Soko is not whistled by one of the boastful contacts he undergoes, moreover on the mis match Russell-Flaccadori certainly one has to pay duty. The same goes for a couple of failed “penalties” under measure: 56-53, it’s the 28th minute. In short, all to be redone. Trento too, apart from Flaccadori, has poor averages but often remedies with second and even third shots: Sima is terribly slow in his legs and reflexes, his presence on the field now only serves to make Jones catch his breath, with whom Nutribullet is without other more incisive.

But he alone is not enough, if Soko and Dimsa do not contribute. And so Reynolds impacts at 67. Trent is upset but he doesn’t know that his end begins here. TvB in its worst moment takes color, recovers balls, returns to play at speed and arrives a great (and decisive) 9-0 packaged by Dimsa, then Imbrò, Jones and Bortolani (after two attack rebounds…). At 39 ‘it is +7, on +5 and on the desperate pressing of Lele Molin Bortolani sinks with two hands, 32 ”is missing, now it’s really done. These are the two most important points of the season, who knows if the rock now begins to turn in the other direction as well.
