The Ble Juvecaserta Academy accuses the second consecutive defeat against a Pallacanestro Angri, which extends its winning streak to eight. Coach D’Addio’s bianconeri paid for the precarious physical condition of more than one athlete as well as a roster that became short due to the series of injuries that hit the team during the long break. The Salerno players, for their part, have taken advantage of the grafts operated in this second phase of the season and have been able to capitalize on the physical dominance of Markovic and the agility of Daunys, who have achieved exactly half of the points of their team.
The start of the guests was a 4-0 scored by Markovic, but the hosts responded well by impacting with Bagdonavicius and Kuvekalovic. After the 6-8 result of two baskets by Izzo and the usual Markovic, the local bianconeri produced a 9-0 that directed the fourth towards their colors thanks to the triples of Mastroianni, Markus and the extra free after Bagdonavicius’s basket. The reaction of the guests was not particularly effective and Ble reached her maximum advantage at 19-10. A shot from distance by Iannicelli and De Martino’s “prayer” at the end of the quarter allowed the guests to close the first fraction with only 3 points to recover. The start of the second quarter was particularly negative for the hosts who ran out of the foul bonus in little more than a turn of the hands, and suffered the return of the guests who got the lead on 22-23 taking advantage of the many trips to the bezel (11 in the second quarter alone) and the absence on the parquet of Markus, forced on the bench together with Kuvekalovic due to problems with fouls. So much has allowed the Salerno to go to the long interval with an advantage of 6 points (27-33).
The decisive break took place, however, at the beginning of the third quarter when the guests found great continuity in attack, scoring a partial of 21-10 that allowed them to reach the maximum advantage over +17 (37-54). Bagdonavicius and Cioppa tried to mend the tear (43-54), but the Daunys-Markovic duo took all the attacking weight to maintain the gap that was 14 points on 30 ‘(45-59). At the start of the last period Iannicelli brought his team back to the maximum advantage (45-62), but Ble put in a completely different aggression.
Bagdonavicius and Kuvekalovic signed a 7-0 run, which was followed, after a triple by Chirico, by another Caserta break that allowed the hosts to reopen the game and get to a possession, not even full, at a disadvantage ( 69-71), but a basket by Daunys and the subsequent triple by Markovic then decidedly directed the game towards the guests.
