Tortona (Autosped Castelnuovo Scrivia 76 – Schiavon Ponzano Basket 67) – Another victory for the Autosped Castelnuovo Scrivia that yesterday afternoon, at the PalaCamagna in Tortona, had the better of Schiavon Ponzano Basket at the end of a difficult match.
The chronicle.
The Tortonesi start with Madonna, Bonvecchio, Colli, D’Angelo and Podrug, to whom Zanco contrasts Giordano, Zitkova, Iannucci, Miccoli and Eghwo; definitely not memorable early stages, characterized by shooting errors and blunders, on both sides of the field. Bcc at +4 (6-2) after 5? but the Treviso women are always in the wake, taking advantage of the plays in the painting by Iannucci, able to find points and fouls. The castelnovesi who with the nails manage to snatch a small advantage at 10? (15-13), despite some trivial shooting errors, while Ponzano has to complain about too many turnovers (9) in the first set. Second fraction which opens with an internal 5-0 all branded Podrug for the +7 (20-13) of the Bcc; the Schiavon however does not lose the thread and always remains in the wake (21-24 to 15?); fourth that is immediately characterized by the prevalence of attacks on the respective defenses and to take advantage of it are the Venetians who, for the first time (apart from the 2-0 at the start), put their nose in front (28-27 to 18? ) then going to rest on +4 (38-34) thanks also to a prayer from Giordano accepted by the retina just at the end. Inevitable the groomed, in the locker room, by coach Zara, not very satisfied, to put it mildly, especially with the defensive performance of their players; the lecture seems to have the desired effects immediately because at the resumption of play the Autosped scores a 6-0 which allows the home team to overtake (40-38). Guests who, however, are good at never losing contact thus keeping the match in great balance for most of the time (51-49 at 26?); in the last minutes, however, the castelnovesi manage to place a small, but important, break, entering the 10? decisive with an auspicious +8 (59-51). Bcc that touches, on a couple of occasions, also the +10 (61-51 and 63-53) but the formation of Zanco shows that it still has no intention of raising the white flag, halving the gap in an amen (63-58 at 33?) also thanks to an adventurous 8-meter Zitkova bomb. Another tear is needed on the part of the giraffes who, pushed by Madonna’s triples, return again to the double figures (71-61 to 37?), This time putting a serious risk on victory. Is it still the former Empoli to put an end to the dispute with the penetrating basket of 75-65 at 90? from the term; it is the blow of the definitive knockout for a Ponzano which, despite the defeat, still performed well, making life very hard for giraffes. Autosped that despite a not very brilliant test was good in coming to the head of an opponent who was able to find the right opposites to put the giraffes in difficulty, for once not so dominant in the three seconds area; to make the difference was the change of pace, defensively speaking, that the castelnovesi were able to put on the parquet after the interval, managing to grant the Treviso women little more than the minimum wage. Being able to make a full booty even when the evening does not seem to be the best is certainly a good sign for the girls of Zara who always have to deal with the absence of Gatti, a heavy absence not only for the intrinsic value of the player but also because the lack of the long canturina forces Podrug to use a surplus which, at 41, would instead need more limited minutes, as was wisely done before Micia’s injury. In the meantime, however, there remains the legitimate satisfaction of having achieved, with merit, another, not at all obvious, success.
