Pallacanestro Trieste wins the game of their life against Verona, which goes down to Serie A2, but it might not even be enough to save themselves. The results from the other fields are not good at all, one in particular and that is Treviso’s coup against Virtus Bologna with the Bolognese ahead by four points with 18″ to go with Belinelli missing the equalizer 2″ from the end. Varese won and therefore was saved. Reggio Emilia lost in Sassari and is now following two points down, if it were to lose the last one at home against Trento, it would be a celebration for Trieste. It would be even if Verona beat Naples. So if Trieste were to lose in Brindisi, it will have to hope in one of two cases to save itself. But this season has accustomed us that hoping for the misfortunes of others is absolutely not a good business.
Take a look at the ranking to understand more. Milan, Bologna 44; Tortona 36; Sassari 34; Venice 32; Trent 30; Brescia, Brindisi 28; Pesaro 26; Treviso 24; Varese 23; Trieste, Scafati, Naples 22; Reggio Emilia 20; Verona 18. So the next round as regards salvation: Venice-Treviso; Reggio Emilia-Trento; Brindisi-Trieste; Scafati-Brescia. This crazy championship has accustomed us to so many surprises, so it’s difficult to make predictions for the last 40 minutes.
Trieste-Tezenis Verona basketball, in front of over 6,000 wild red and white fans, was a game with many faces. In the first half the hosts dominated with a defense at the limit of perfection and a good attack. At 39-17 the +22 was hoped to make people sleep peacefully. And instead no. In the third quarter coach Ramagli changed tactics by focusing on long shots and it was tough for Trieste. From 41-24 mid-game to 57-55 at the end of the third quarter. Then 60-60 but in the final Legovich’s boys managed to get back ahead by a few points, bringing it through not without suffering. In the first quarter a triple by Anderson and one by Lever and Bossi in Trieste. The second quarter was also stingy with bombs: Campogrande and Davis. In the third quarter, from beyond the arc, the guests went wild with Davis three times and with Cappelleti almost on the siren with the frost descending on the Dome. For Trieste, only Bossi had got it right. Yes, Bossy. He was the great architect of this success with 4/5 in the same shots for a total of 16 points slipped in as many minutes played and 4/4 with free throws, an excellent performance with two heavy shots in a last quarter where Anderson also had did the same, the second after a bloody missed pass from Bartley which made it 76-73. But in the following action the same Bartley shot from beyond the arc: 79-73. Cappelleti from three for 81-77 with less than 56” to go. Bartley is wrong at minus 30″, the Scala are also wrong at minus 18″ and do it on Bartley who does not miss from the line: 83-77 at minus 14″. Tezenis butts in attack and the building explodes with joy. It’s won.
If Bossi was the great protagonist in a team that plays with three and a half foreigners (Stumbris), a special mention also goes to Campogrande, on his twenty-seventh birthday he scores 15 points with 4/7 from three, bagging in important moments of the match . And now he’s headed to Brindisi, in a tournament that never ceases to give surprises, who knows if Trieste doesn’t need to wait for the results of the others to open the sparkling wine.
