Trieste Dominates Game 1 to Secure A2 Playoff Quarter-Finals Cover

AND Trieste to deserve the cover for game 1 of the A2 playoff quarter-finals.

Christian’s red and whites prevail in Turin 76-83 and they immediately reverse the field factor. Thanks not so much to a sci-fi shooting first quarter, but to the defensive tenacity in the last 15 minutes which forced lopsided shots and many turnovers from Friulian Franco Ciani’s team.

Leading by 10 points, in the second period Ruzzier and his teammates brought Turin back, led by wingers Thomas and De Vico.

Still trailing in the third period, the red and whites found two late triples from Filloy, one of which hit the scoreboard after an unfortunate assist from the former Cusin.

In the final quarter, Trieste plays with a calmness almost never seen in the season, also finding itself at ease with a referee’s meter that he lets run wild. Always ahead by around 6 points, he has the decisive baskets from Ruzzier, Reyes and Filloy. However, 27 points went to Eli Brooks, best on the pitch.

APU Udine

Apu Old Wild West Udine also wins, who beat the young Juvi Cremona 95-65 at Carnera, holding them to just 4 points in the final quarter. Yet in the first quarter Bechi’s guests took advantage of the rust in the legs and especially in the hands of Vertemati’s, going 10 up.

Slowly, with Daros and Gaspardo, Apu (still without Clark) comes back close, overtakes at the end of the second period and plays around in the third. The accelerated final with the defense in the fourth period: plus 30, 21 points for Gaspardo who scored a beautiful dunk at the end. Cotton did well for the Lombards.

Walter Gorrini

A phase of the unfortunate trial in Cividale in Lombardy

Instead, it lost in Desio Cividale against the highly rated Cantù: the ten consecutive victories do not allow for a surprise effect, with the Brianza team concentrated from the start and immediately taking a clear advantage, taking advantage of the excellent three-point percentages.

Pillastrini’s team (with half the team with hair dyed platinum blonde) still doesn’t give up, even when they find themselves 20 points down. And he comes back to -8 in the decisive quarter, with ball in hand, but it’s not enough. Excellent Berti and Lamb on Redivo’s less superheroic day than usual. 91-76 the final, with Hickey protagonist for Cantù.

Game 2 will be played on Tuesday 7 Mayagain in Udine, Desio and Turin: if the road seems downhill for the two teams from the two capitals, Cividale must try to seek victory so as not to find themselves with their backs against the wall on Friday in game 3.
