TRAPANI The taboo of away games against the big teams still stands. This time, moreover, the field to win was that of the championship killer, Trapani. Pallacanestro Trieste therefore completes its negative streak – you didn’t beat a first-tier team away, losing in Bologna, Verona, Forlì, Turin, Cantù, Udine and indeed Trapani – and it’s not exactly the best viaticum towards the play-offs . This time there is the alibi of the three absences, given that in addition to Vildera, neither Brooks nor Filloy see the parquet.
The absence of Eli Brooks is a bolt from the blue because, once again in contempt of those who may have an interest in the team, as a pre-tactic it is announced an hour before the start of the match that the combo-guard has suffered a grievance muscle to the right buttock over the course of the week and is therefore kept at rest. Vildera is missing and as we know, Filloy isn’t playing either and remains with his warm-up overshirt on the bench, with no communication on the matter. Given that all this “diabolical” pre-tactics is clearly proving to be of no use, have you ever seen society understand that these are not the operations of sympathy and transparency that are needed? Trapani’s defeat is the thirteenth of the season…
Trieste presents a new quintet with Ruzzier, Reyes, Deangeli, Ferrero and Candussi, Trapani immediately offers Amar Alibegovic in the starting five. With on one side an improvised quintet and on the other a team already sure of being seeded in the play-offs and whose only concern is inserting the two new arrivals, the result is a quarter full of errors. Leo Menalo makes his debut in the 4th minute at 6-5. The first quarter ends at 13-11 for the Sicilians, the red and whites keep to 5/18 from the field (1 of 9 from three), their rivals 5/17. Ciapanò time. The only note of merit goes to the fans who came from Trieste, an unshakable passion that travels for miles.
Trieste’s 6-0 partial at the start of the second quarter with Reyes the absolute protagonist with two triples (13-17). Trapani’s response was devastating: 11-0, with Stefano Gentile acting as the inspiration (24-17 in the 13th minute). Ruzzier interrupts the breakaway with two bombs (25-23 at 15′), Candussi hits the ball with a half-hook, the pace of the match remains fast but in this part the percentages have significantly increased. Ruzzier’s, for example, were almost perfect: third triple and tied at 31 in the 17th minute. Trapani tries to extend the lead again, Candussi takes it back (the only one in double figures in the first twenty minutes), a bomb from Mian sends everyone to rest at 40-35 for the Sicilians.
Can we hope? Yes, recess time. The return from the changing rooms was a shock: for five minutes Trieste managed only three points from the line while on the other side Trapani tried to demonstrate why it remains the number 1 favorite for promotion. Partial score of 13-3 for 53-38 which effectively closes the match, punishing Christian’s defensive changes which are always penalizing.
The red and whites disintegrate, the Sharks continue to bite. Alibegovic also wakes up and the Sicilians gain a margin of twenty points (59-39). Campogrande doesn’t put it from three and isn’t doing himself a great favor given that with Vildera’s return a senior will have to stay out and he himself is the suspect. The third quarter ends at 64-46.
Trieste’s reaction at the start of the last quarter with a 7-0 break. Five minutes from the siren 68-57. When the red and whites eliminate part of the delay, Notae’s sentence arrives at 6.75. Trieste remains fifth, despite Verona losing in Latina by failing to make the decisive free throws in the last seconds.
Everyone would like to avoid the risk of a play-off pairing with the bogeyman Sharks.
