A defeat that hurts especially for the occasion of a challenge with Trieste without Banks and Fernandez, a success grabbed in the final minutes by the Trieste players for 75-80. The absence of a pure shooter, the specialist capable of hitting from long range was missing for Vanoli as much as it took for Allianz to win. It must be said, the evening at the three-point shooting was better for the guests, but not by much (28.6 against 33.3%), yet it was the two bombs signed by Mian and Davis that closed it.
In Trieste also the merit of being able to manage well the poor realization from the outside with a clinic in the painting performed by Delia, at times irrepressible by the duo McNeace and Dime. The Argentine has signed 13 points with 6 rebounds, right at the point of rebounds the comparison between the two rosters was clear: 27-42, the photograph of the match is all there, with the Trieste defenders strongly putting hands on, dirtying the shots and then they catch 32 defensive rebounds.
Vanoli, for its part, has suffered a lot from the maturity gap, going haywire on some referee calls, struggling against an effective defense, but also dirty under the basket able to dance on the contact limits granted by the regulation.
For Legovich, on his debut with a positive Ciani in quarantine, Corey Davis’ best performance: 23 points with a 6/10 from two, a 2/6 from three and 22 points. Then the game of the former Mian who signed 15 points based on good defensive readings and 3/7 from the arc.
For the biancoblù the excellent performance of Harris with 22 points and 50% from two and three was not enough. The team lacked something in the final possessions, “little maturity” defined it by Galbiati in the post-match, unfortunately, in addition to this, there was no phosphorus in the direction in the last three actions which, in fact, closed the race bringing Vanoli from a +2 to -5 final.
