Basketball, the salvation of Reggio is decided

The future of Reggio Emilia basketball will be decided tonight on the Palabigi parquet, where Aquila Trento arrives at 6pm, already sure of the play-offs, but also on three other courts. To stay in A1 Unahotels absolutely needs a victory, but also the simultaneous defeat of one between Scafati, Trieste and Naples. If the latter, who will take the field in Verona against the already relegated Tezenis, theoretically has the easier commitment, Trieste and Scafati (who, however, will have the advantage of playing at home) will face respectively Brindisi and Brescia, which is still looking for a place in the play-offs. All the matches will start at the same time at 6 pm, so all eyes will be focused not only on the Palabigi parquet, but also on smartphones.

Decisive round also for Virtus Bologna, which is contending with Milan for first place and the consequent advantage in the play-offs for the Scudetto: you play against Varese at home, Olimpia hosts Sassari. In case of equal points arrival, the direct confrontation favors the red and whites.

“We’ve come to the reckoning: from our point of view, the best we can do is obviously win the game and then wait for the results from the other fields – said coach Dragan Sakota on the eve – We play against an excellent team, which is qualified for the playoffs, but for us the stakes are too great: we have to take the field with more energy, more desire and more motivation than Trento to win a success that can lead us to safety. We are in an emergency situation, given the absences, but we mustn’t make the mistake of arriving at the key moment of the match dull and without energy: there will be moments of difficulty, but I am sure that with the help of our fans we will find the strength to overcome them”.
