Niccolo’ Lurini
In the match that was not yet an inside or outside match, but which should have represented redemption, with the relative conquest of two points as heavy and necessary as the air we breathe, Civitus Vicenza, in front of the friendly public, sensationally “punches” the first half running into a very bloody defeat, with the Bisceglie Lions, direct competitors for salvation, who thanked them, sent five men in double figures and collected the precious external success which allowed them to abandon the last place in the table precisely at the expense of an enigmatic disappointing Vicenza. That’s right.
Two-faced red and white
Alessandro Riva
The first twenty minutes were certainly bad. Players gripped by tension from the beginning of the contest with inaccuracies in shooting, the usual trivial turnovers in attack and a weak defense which allowed the Apulians to gain even fifteen points of advantage (23 to 38) up to 30 to 43, with during which the two quintets returned to their respective changing rooms for the ritual long break. From the first minutes of the second half, however, the desired reaction of coach Cilio’s boys took shape, finally alive and concrete and no longer apathetic as in the unwatchable first half and point after point also with the contribution of a driving Bugatti, yes the catch materialized with the Apulians, in clear difficulty, at 51 all, one minute before the sound of the third siren.
Vicenza Basketball
But as has already happened in the season and on more than one occasion during other comebacks, the Berica team did not find the energy in their tank to run away. Indeed, Bisceglie, sensing the scent of the feat, after having caught his breath, in the last period found two very heavy triples with his little ones, Saladini and Chessari, returning to create an important gap. Antonietti’s shot from the arc gave Vicenza new life, who had a heavy shot at their disposal with Terenzi at the last second to hit the overtime, but the Pesaro winger’s shot went off the rim, condemning the Berici to the stop.
To eat your hands.
The 40-30 score in the second half wasn’t enough. Thus Vicenza must mark time and return to being a land of conquest. The situation is complicated but we absolutely must not give up, especially since on Saturday we return to the field at 6.30 pm with Virtus Padova again in Vicenza for yet another direct clash. Conquering it now has truly become something of vital importance and is not just a figure of speech.
