Udine’s dream is over: the Apu shows its worst face, Walters and Lacey in a ghost version.  Verona is more of a team and celebrates promotion

There are even 7 minutes and 50 seconds left when the light goes out with a triple, yet another, by Casarin. But the blackout began much earlier in Verona, where APU greets the dream of returning to Serie A with a disconcerting performance that brought to light all the flaws of a team that was built around a group of experienced and beautiful Italians. hopes that it should have been enhanced by the qualities of the US duo.

The truth is that to win the playoffs it is better to have a team capable of defending and exalting themselves with rotations. Everyone is important, no one is indispensable. This is why the Gialloblù promotion, after 20 years, is deserved.

Race four started under the banner of news only in terms of starting five choices, with three “small” (Cappelletti, Giuri and Lacey) and two “long” (Pellegrino and Walters), perhaps in an attempt not to blow the shooting guard of Alabama who in the first Veronese performance had pumped too much ball, ending up with 32 minutes of use and his tongue out.

There is something immutable, however, the so-called approach, an impalpable term, but tremendously – alas – bianconero: 7-0 for Tezenis after two minutes, 18-10 after the Old Wild West response (7-7 with Giuri). And even when the actors change, inertia (speaking of intangible terms) is all in the hands of Verona.

The black and white encephalogram is literally flat, not even the short interval between the first and the second quarter manages to revive Boniciolli’s team who takes a triple in a moment at the siren (26-14) and starts again by having a ball stolen from the field opened by Candussi, which will be long (210 centimeters), will be sprawling, but which travels on the break like an old 500 in front and despite the cruising speed the Apu defense returns in slow motion.

Time out, but on the return, after a timid wake-up signal from Walters, a conclusion arrives from beyond the arc of Candussi himself who widens the gap further (29-16) after two minutes of the fourth.

Meanwhile Walters is at two (fouls), the consolation is that on the other side also the long from Romans has the same problem. Coach Ramagli goes into rotation and finds a basket and free from Casarin and another triple from Udom (35-18), all smooth as oil, one might say, given that Caroti continues the Verona show for three.

The problem is simple: even the Apu has to do with “Oil”, the one with a capital O. In the tragedy – for heaven’s sake, sporty – in black and white, we have rarely seen a comic performance like that of Brandon Walters.

He has an NBA body, too bad he doesn’t know how to use it continuously: few rebounds for someone who has fast feet, too many mistakes from below for someone who should put it in the basket like a Bryant Dunston once in two. Crushing.

Nothing to do: sometimes he doesn’t even take the 6-inch iron. Boniciolli finally removes him from the fray (right choice 1), takes a technical foul for an epochal protest for a foul not whistled against Esposito (understandably right choice 2) and sends Ebeling onto the field, being repaid immediately with a triple. The point is that the gap is huge now he is traveling on the fan.

The right choice 3 is obvious: the coach hopes Trevor Lacey will recover from the “Stanlio” version of the first 20 minutes: 5 points, 1 out of 2 from two, 0 out of 1 from three, 3 out of 4 from the line. Usually the Americans in the second League make the difference, especially if you have a team that has few points in their hands, as APU has shown to be with an important part of its Italian package already before the interval: two between Mussini, Giuri and Antonutti who shared a total of 20 minutes of work.

If you take into account how many people the three upstairs have, something is wrong. So Lacey closes the bow by mistake and the Apu sneaks into the locker room with its long nose (47-29). The attack doesn’t work, but this time the defense doesn’t work either. Let’s put it in writing: if the others score 8 out of 20 in the triples (in two quarters) it is better that something changes, or the game is already lost.

Boniciolli knows this. He tries it by inserting a quintet diametrically opposite from the initial one, without “big men”. He relies on Esposito, Ebeling and Antonutti with two guards: Lacey and Cappelletti. The experiment did not last long because Esposito paid duty on the systematic exchange in one-on-one with Candussi. Walters comes back after two minutes, hoping that he’s not in the worst version (it would have been difficult).

It is worth trying as coach Davis, his coach at Middle Tennessee State, who for two years at university lived under the illusion of having discovered a dominant prospect, would have told you. The flashes are there: he suffers an unsportsmanlike foul from Candussi, scores from the low post dancing like Carla Fracci, but within two actions the Apu forgets that the mission established in the interval was to prevent three-pointers: Caroti and Grant , 6 points for a demoralizing 59-39.

And the rain dance from the bow continues with Casarin (64-42). It is not a summer storm: the son of art continues even in the last quarter, at the dawn of the last quarter. Two more triples (72-49), then many minutes of garbage time up to 83-57. For Udine it is the sunset of the dream. –
