Twelve months after the ride that last year brought Forlì one step away from promotion to the top flight, the red and white team is today trying to repeat the same feat. Hopefully with a different outcome than the 0-3 suffered at the hands of Vanoli Cremona in the playoff final. Despite a different formula regarding the second phase, Basketball 2015 is so far retracing exactly the path of the previous season. Reaching prestigious and far from obvious goals.
Unieuro, thanks to the 50 points achieved so far against 25 victories in 30 matches (18 out of 22 in the first phase), is already certain of being the sole ‘master’ of the 2023/24 Red group. The overtaking came at the beginning of February, at the end of the first phase of the championship, closed at the top by Forlì with 36 points, +2 on Fortitudo Bologna. A ‘doubled’ supremacy which confirms the great potential of Cinciarini and his companions.
In the 2022/23 championship the roadmap was the same. First place with 40 points, the result of 20 wins and 4 stops, in the Red group, without considering the matches with Ferrara (later excluded). Placement then reiterated also in the Yellow group of the second phase, closed by Forlì ahead of all the other big names in the category with 16 points in the bag. Attention: each team kept the victories achieved in direct clashes. The red and whites actually won five victories in six matches, falling only to the ‘usual’ Vanoli Cremona in the first leg match played at the Palafiera.
In total, therefore, Unieuro achieved a total of 25 victories in 30 matches played before the playoffs. It’s the exact same current roadmap, but with two games still to go: further confirmation of the goodness of the path taken by the red and whites so far, if ever it were needed. if Forlì also beat Cantù (tomorrow) and Latina (Sunday 21 April) it would rise to 27 victories out of 32 matches. And it would even improve the 83.3% of victories achieved. In all other cases it would remain very slightly below. Curiosity: counting the two matches against Ferrara (which in the annals never existed) the first two phases of the 2022/23 season would have ended with 26 wins out of 32. A figure that Forlì could equal even with a defeat. It must be said, in any case, what numbers in hand we are talking about the most successful championship in the history of Forlì basketball, between A1 and A2: the ‘new’ Unieuro faces a very high comparison.
Twelve months ago the sealing wax on first place was put in the penultimate race of the clock phase (easy victory over Treviglio), therefore taking 40 minutes longer than today. Today’s roadmap is also slightly more positive: the red and whites are coming off three consecutive victories. Only Turin, exactly one month ago, managed to stop the run of a Unieuro team which, overall, has achieved eleven successes in the last twelve outings (13 out of 14 counting the Italian Cup). In the 2022/23 season, however, Forlì, after eight victories in a row, encountered two knockouts one after the other between the last day of the Red group (72-70 at home to Fortitudo) and the first of the Yellow group (60 -64 with Vanoli). Then came five consecutive hurrays before the playoffs: the red and whites can match them by continuing to win in this final stretch.
