Good test for Acqua S.Bernardo Cantù who won 73-85 in the scrimmage with Piacenza after an intense match, with the two teams not sparing each other battling until the final siren. For a satisfied coach Sacchetti, positive indications arrive from his team, which took to the field without Burns and Berdini, who were kept on precautionary rest, less than two weeks before the start of the championship. Assigeco Piacenza made a strong start with an initial 6-0, but Cantù broke the deadlock with Nikolic’s first basket. The first minutes are very close, with neither team able to extend the lead. For Cantù, noteworthy is the seasonal debut of Tarallo, who recovered after the injury. At the end of the quarter, after a timeout by coach Salieri, Assigeco managed to close the first quarter ahead 22-19.
As the minutes passed, Acqua S.Bernardo took the measure of Piacenza’s defensive aggressiveness and consistently found the basket, with Nikolic and the two Americans among the most inspired. But coach Sacchetti’s team also improves its level in the other half of the field and creates a partial that allows them to go into the long halftime ahead 33-37. The second half begins along the lines of the second quarter, with Cantù who, despite the foreseeable drop in intensity of the match, is more inspired than the hosts and manages to hit the target with almost all the players used on the parquet and extends to 48-63 at the end of the third fourth. The script did not change in the last quarter with the blue and whites managing the accumulated advantage, keeping Piacenza at a distance who never gave up until the siren, putting in a notable defensive application throughout the match. The final siren confirms the victory for Acqua S.Bernardo 85 to 73.
