Basketball, playoffs B | Elachem Vigevano-Libertas Livorno 86-70

The Freedom goes out defeat from game 3 against They were in force (86-70 the final) and now she is called to a real feat on Sunday 4 June if she wants to keep the series alive and play her game in front of her own audience. In some ways it seemed like reviewing the first challenge between the two teams. The Pavia players are relentless from three points (15/32 at the end) unlike the amaranths who shoot from long range with a percentage of 30%. If we add to this the bad day of some elements like Fratto (not even a field goal) this explains the reason for the final result. The third quarter was decisive, in the negative for Fantoni and his companions, when Saccaggi had the -4 ball in his hands but missed the shot and within a few seconds Vigevano with Laudoni moved up to +9 effectively closing the match. In two days Andreazza’s boys will have to show the grit they showed in race 2 if they don’t want to end the season.

The start of the match is on the edge of balance: the two teams prefer to hit from three points, a challenge that sees Vigevano win thanks above all to D’Alessandro (12-9 after 4′). However, Libertas doesn’t fit and pushed by a sniper version of Bargnesi raises her head and 3 minutes later turns the situation upside down to 13-21. The landlords seem dazed and the amaranths continue to hammer until they reach 18-26 with which the first fraction ends. Afterwards, however, Vigevano decides it’s time to get his nails out and in six minutes he takes the lead incredibly thanks to a run of 15-4 (33-32 in the 16th minute). Until the long half-time then the two teams are equal and a play by Mercante in the final gives Vigevano the 43-40.

Upon returning to the field there is only one team and that is Vigevano who only scores 27 points in the third quarter, leaving only crumbs to their opponents. Broglia, D’Alessandro and above all Laudoni seem possessed and Libertas is unable to take the right countermeasures (58-50 in the 27th minute). As the minutes go by, the gap between the two teams only increases so we get to the last time at 70-54 for the hosts. The remaining ten minutes are pure academia: Piazza’s quintet is mainly concerned with keeping a safe distance from their opponents who no longer have the strength to react and are already thinking about game 4. Vigevano deservedly wins 86-70 and on Sunday, in the 4, can close the series.
