Basketball Serie A1 – Dolomiti Energia Trento beats Bertram Derthona – Alessandria Today

Trento – The Trento series reopens and, net of the excellent performance, wins 79-76 and can even the score again at home. Immense heart, that of Dolomiti Energia Trentino, which regulates the Lions and thus celebrates the first success of the season. On the evening of the Blm Group Arena, Flaccadori shines first of all, author of 15 points in the second half (19 total) and Matteo Spagnolo, the young blue playmaker is decisive in the moment in which L’Aquila struggles most to find the way to the basket, closing however with 16 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. The usual Christon (14 points with 4 assists) and Harper (15 points) are not enough for Derthona, also thanks to the inaccuracy with the stopwatch stopped at (17/24) and various offensive blackouts, including the first 7′ of the third quarter. In this period of time, the Bertram Yacht in fact went from +11 (28-39) in the middle of the race, to parity, without putting any points on the scoresheet even with the clock stopped and committing an incredible series of turnovers. Honorable mention for Forray, the captain is in fact possessed at the beginning of the second half, dragging all his teammates with very heavy triples and thus reopening the challenge, before leaving the parquet for five personal fouls. A challenge with many faces, the one witnessed by a Blm Group Arena in any case packed is very busy to support the attempt to recover the Dolomiti Energia. The 1st half is in fact a feast of errors, on both sides, interspersed only by a few exploits of pure individual talent. The phenomenal Spaniard has already been mentioned, Daumn’s and Severini’s deadly triples (3/5) in the pick and pop must be noted, and is capable of confirming himself as a fundamental pawn within the Derthona offensive chessboard. For the rest, the nightmare start of the two teams with heavy shooting should certainly be mentioned: after eight minutes from the tap-off, the overall 0/14 (0/8 of Trento) is not a negative record but we are close. Upon returning from the changing rooms, only Dolomiti Energia changes gears. 11-0 break in which captain Forray is maximo leader and Flaccadori takes on the role of his trusted squire. The basketball tournament sees only the host L’Aquila excel, also because Derthona counts turnovers in succession, as many as 7 in the first seven minutes of the second half, struggling to tighten the defensive shirts. He will restore parity (39-39) in the 27th minute, another match begins. Christon and Harper try to replicate the decisive baskets made in the previous acts of the series. However, it’s up to the couple Flaccadori – Spaniard to sign the match. There triple finals by Macura make the last round uncertain, but the hand of the hosts, including that of Lockett, does not tremble from the line and thus the party can break out within the walls of the Blm Group Arena. It ends 79-76.
