Cantù-Chiusi, the race

Good start from Cantù who immediately manages to move forward 5 to 0 thanks to Bucarelli’s triple and the first goal of the match scored by Stefanelli; However, Chiusi’s response was immediate, with a triple on target made by Wilson, formerly of the match. It is still Wilson, really unleashed at the start, to drag the visiting team: 9-14 at 7 ‘. In the final quarter, the Sienese try the extension with Ancellotti and two consecutive triples by Pollone, which allow the Umana to touch the momentary +8. Another flash of Wilson, shortly after, gives the lake the deserved double-digit advantage. The first ten minutes end 24 to 16 for the red and white. A whole different Cantù after the short break. The Brianza team becomes the protagonist of a mini-partial of 7 to 0 which, in a minute and a half, cancels almost all the guest advantage. 23-24. From the bench a razzente Bryant leads the biancoblù to +1; the latter is decisive both in the offensive and in the defensive phase. Not only Bryant, also Stefanelli and Bayehe fight like lions, leading Acqua S.Bernardo to a powerful 15-2 break in their favor. Chiusi does not give up and, thanks to his two Americans, manages to hit the counter. Lunge in the Medford area and a triple from Wilson, this is how the San Giobbe comes back one point; 34-35 just over 2 ‘from the interval. At 20 ‘the advantage remains in the hands of Chiusi, who returns to the locker room ahead 39 to 34. At the long break Cantù’s best in the points scored is Bryant, 9; while Umana enjoys two double-digit players, Pollone with 11 and Wilson with 10.
At the start of the second half it is always Medford who leads the direction and the guest attack, his own the basket of the new +8 lake. To take Cantù by the hand Bucarelli, author of the -2 leaning against the board. Chiusi takes the area but the Brianza manage to find the equalizer; 42 to 42 in the middle of the third fraction. From here on, the two teams respond blow by blow with a series of triples: Da Ros and Stefanelli on one side, Medford and Pollone on the other. A continuous question and answer that rewards the red and white, also ahead at the end of the third period. 56-58 at 30 ‘. In the fourth period, everything happens and the unusual triple of Bayehe is the emblem. Cantù thus puts his head forward with ferocity and determination, taking possession full of advantage thanks also to the 2/3 from the line by Severini. Also in this case, however, the guest response is immediate with Wilson’s triple for 63 all. At this point it is Bucarelli and Cusin, with experience, who drag Cantù forward by two possessions. The guests try to shorten the distance but S.Bernardo is very good in defense with the decisive plays by Severini and Da Ros. Even Bayehe, rebounding, raises a defensive wall that puts Chiusi to the bar. Ninety-nine seconds from the end, Umana loses Pollone for five fouls; in the meantime, a “treble” by Severini leads Cantù to a double-digit advantage. At 40 ‘ends 76 to 68; Severini amazing with +21 of plus / minus (pallacanestrocantu.com).
