An at times irrepressible RSR easily wins against Rennova Teramo with a score of 68-44, at the end of a race managed right from the start and also controlled in the management of resources, given the simultaneous defections of Ghersetti, Chiumenti and Traini. Among the undisputed protagonists Federico Loschi who with 27 points scored and a 6/8 from long distance, closes with a rating of 23. Dieng and captain Ndoja also did well, the latter returning to the level of last season. On Sunday we return to the field to face the delicate away match at Imola.
THE CHRONICLE
A minute of defenses and wrong shots, then here is the first triple of the day for the RSR by captain Ndoja, who immediately afterwards in the Tchintcharauli area for the 5-0. Teramo is not there, it reorganizes and Di Donato this time finds the space to plant a bomb that allows the Abruzzese to make up for it (5-3). Cucco imitates him the next action and Teramo remains hooked to Rieti (7-6), then Stanic loses the ball in attack, Cucco guesses another triple (7-9), as Happy who burns the retina and makes +1 (10 -9). A very open game and, despite the best two defenses in Group C, it is a challenge to those who guess the most long-range shots: Loschi lights up (13-9), Di Donato doesn’t fit in and finds another nice basket undisturbed (13- 12), but first Ndoja and then again the “gunslinger” with the 11 on his back, inexorably stretch (19-12) with 100% of the three-point realization. Shady penetrates and guesses the ring for the 21-12, coach Finelli would also like the additional foul and free, but in response he gets a technician, which Teramo does not exploit properly, making both the free throw and the throw-in wrong.
The second quarter opens with Piccin’s hand which brings the advantage of the RSR in double figures (23-12), followed shortly after by Dieng who, undisturbed, finds the basket (25-12). The former Tezenis is uncontainable, repeating himself with a fade-away of applause for 27-16. Intensity in defense, accuracy in shooting, is certainly another RSR compared to the last few outings and 5’30 ”from the long rest, even the foul situation at home amarantoceleste is good. The free throws of Contento (2/2) and the umpteenth triple from Loschi make the RSR make a void that double Teramo 3’54 ”from the siren (32-16). But Loschi is literally unstoppable, from the arc he is devastating and in his fourth triple, he still makes a basket (37-18) keeping 100% of the realization, to which he adds a penetration that is worth his “first” 16 points of the game ( 39-21). On the siren, still Loschi from three, a foul by Bottioni and from the bezel the music does not change. Ends 42-21.
The second half opens with a partial 4-0 for Teramo, broken by the penetration of force by Contento who supports the basket, as well as Ndoja shortly after for the 46-25. The captain is on the day and guesses another super long shot, as well as a step-back worth 51-25. The RSR is in full control of the match, Loschi continues to hammer from long distance (5/6), the gap becomes wider and wider (54-27) and Teramo can only cling to the tenacity of Antonelli who, although weakened by three fouls , finds the baskets of -24 (54-30). Before the siren, only Antonelli’s free for the 54-32 with which we go to the last fraction.
The intensity of the RSR’s game decreases, but Teramo’s shooting percentages are not such as to cause great damage and in two minutes of play there are only 3 guest points and none local (54-35). Third foul by Piazza, but the coach arrives at coach Salvemini and Loschi makes a mistake from the foul line, keeping “zero” the result of the last quarter amaranth-celestial. Bottioni gives Teramo a 5-0 run from below, but the RSR’s advantage is still wide (+17).
To break the spell we think Ndoja well served under the basket by Contento (56-37). Bottioni’s 1/2 from the line is canceled by Tchintcharauli’s dunk which brings the advantage back to +20, immediately widened by Piazza’s first three points which burns the retina from the arch (61-38). In the final the RSR controls and rounds the score with Federico Loschi who closes with 27 personal points: it ends 68-44 for Finelli’s men.
