At the Agsm forum is a yellow and blue party. Tezenis Verona beats Apu Udine 83 to 57 in race 4 and flies in the A1 series.
The dream has come true. Tezenis Verona promoted to Serie A1. Applause, a big party at the Agsm forum. Tezenis Verona crushes Apu Old Wild West Udine 83 to 57 in game 4 of the A2 series playoff final, and thus realizes a dream that has lasted 20 years. In an Agsm forum crowded in every corner and part, the Gialloblù dominate the match from start to finish, outclassing the battleship Udine forced to raise the white flag in front of the strength and supremacy of the Gialloblù. It is the right crowning glory for this truly extraordinary group, for a fantastic season to say the least.
As in race 3 Verona played a great gamenothing to say. Great game behind and intelligent front, with a good discipline the Gialloblù managed to do the things they wanted. THE Ramagli’s guys were stable behind, efficient at rebounding and didn’t lose trivial balls. They have been good at using their hands on the passing lines to try to dirty their most congenial channels of play. Tezenis was good at directing the games towards her rhythms; Udine has experience and pride, but Verona has sold its skin dearly and fulfilled the dream of promotion.
Ready to go, Rosselli misses the dunk but arrives Anderson which puts in the first points of the match. Spanghero to score with a nice penetrationthen he also puts one inside triple. Cappelletti goes for two, then suffers a foul and makes the free throw, Walters leans on the board and scores from two: Udine shortens. The guests score two more points, then think about it Anderson putting 4 in a row; Spanghero for three, then Anderson for two and so Verona stretches. Pellegrino scores 1 on 2 from the line, Candussi wins a rebound and bags. Verona thus closes the first quarter ahead of ten. The second quarter opens with the crushed by Candussi; Udine puts in two points, but Verona responds with the triple by Candussi. Walter makes 1 out of 2 from the free, Casarin goes from two then suffers a foul and also scores the free; 1 on 2 from the line for Italian and Udom responds with a triple. Verona flies. Esposito from the line is 2 out of 2, Rosselli 1 out of 2, but Caroti places the triple. The Gialloblù touch the maximum advantage: +20. Ebeling tries to close the distance with a three-pointer, but Caroti keeps his distance with a triple. Cappelletti is fouled in the area and puts 1 on 2 from free, more precise Spanghero which is 2 out of 2; Udine clings to Lacey and Cappelletti’s free, but Rosselli responds with 2 for 2 from the line. The first half ends here, Verona ahead by 18 points.
Upon returning from half-time, the third quarter opens with Ebeling’s two free throws; Rosselli responds and scores 2 on 2 from the line, Anderson from the area brings Verona back to +20. Cappelletti does not miss the free throws, Ebeling still shortens. Johnson scores 1 in 2 from free throws, Walters misses the first free but places the second. Shortly after the same fate for Lacey, then with a shot from 2 he brings Udine back to minus 13. One out of two by Pini from the line, then Caroti and Grant placed two triples; Verona again at +20. You swear it’s not wrong from 3, Grant in a dunk, Casarin scores from 3. Pellegrino goes from 2, as does Cappelletti. There are still ten minutes to go, Verona ahead by 18 points. The last quarter opens it Casarin with a shot from 3 points, and shortly after he makes 1 out of 2 from the free. New advantage for Verona: +23. Casarin places another triplebut Lacey always replies from three points; Udom makes no mistake from the area, and shortly after also places the free. Lacey makes 1 on 2 from free, Candussi from 2 brings Verona to +27. Lacey and Cappelletti try to take Udine by the hand, but Candussi turns off every attempt. Antonutti does not miss the free, Udom responds with a dunk. Rosselli scores 2 on 2 from the line; the race ends here, Verona rises to the A1 series.
