It ends with the victory of the Jadran Monticolo&Photos the first leg “derby” in the championship of Serie C Gold men’s basketball: at the PalaCus, in a setting with a good audience, there was a hard-fought match where the university students of Pozzecco they fought until the end, but they had to give in in the face of the experience of the visiting team.
L’IS Copy shows up to engagement with Tonut battered and without Vrbaskiwhile on the other hand Oberdan’s team can count on a collective endowed with physicality and experience: the beginning is balanced, however, given that the university’s triple hits several times a Jadran who goes under 12 – 4. Demarchi and Ius are unleashed, but on the other side it starts immediately Borut Ban (in the end 27 for him), which keeps the visiting team well in the game. As the minutes go by, a few too many mistakes in the Cus home make the technical staff nervous, who try to shoot the game with the changes: it seems that the IS Copy is a little “shy” compared to a Jadran who plays openly . Milisavljevic and Ban continue to hammer the defense of Cus, while on the other side the offensive percentages do not reward the hosts, who after +1 on 10 ‘find themselves having to chase, on 33 – 40, at mid-match.
Upon returning from the locker rooms, one 0 – 5 of the guests seems to have already put the word “end” on the match, but Cus certainly has no intention of letting go so easily: the couple Antonio – Demarchi (19 points each) propitious for the return of the IS Copy in the score and the game always remains balanced, even if on the other side the Jadran finds precious points to Malalan and Pregarc. At the end of the third period we are on +6 Jadran, then in the last quarter there is still a fight against the sword: the Cus returns to minus two for several times, with the initiatives of Ius and Daijaun Antonio who seem to be able to win, but from on the other hand a crazy triple by Batich after an offensive rebound cuts the legs of the hosts, who in the final try the systematic foul but are kept at a safe distance by an infallible Ban.
