Very high altitude clash coming for RivieraBanca Basket Rimini that after the winning blitz in Jesi is preparing to welcome friends of the PalaFlaminio (Finally back to 60% of the capacity) the battleship Roseto leaders in the sixth matchday of the second round, two ball in the program Sunday 27 February at 18:00for what promises to be an absolute playoff climate match.
The Abruzzese command the group C with 36 points, the result of a roadmap that shows 18 wins and 2 defeats (LUISS Roma and Imola) and the best attack so far in the championship with 82.1 average points scored per game. Fresh from three consecutive victories, Roseto atgone he imposed himself at the PalaMaggetti for 80-72 in a game that saw the red and white, without Tassinari and Mladenov, always stay in the game until the end.
Firmly guided on the bench by the very young (born in 1994), as well as a native of Roseto, Coach Danilo Quaglia, the Abruzzese are slightly different than those faced on 7/11. In the control room we always find the playmaker born in 1993 Edward of Emidioflanked by the equal role class 2000 Alfonso Zampogna that with the passing of the season he has earned a first-rate place among the rosetane rotations and at the moment he is, albeit by very little, the best shooter by three-point percentage (48.9%) in front of the red and white Andrea Tassinari (47.9%) of the championship.
Some doubts in the external department on the conditions of the guard born in 1994 Andrea Pastore, absent in the last two outings due to injury, but who should return for the match against the red and white. She is practically sure, however, theabsence of the same role born in 1981 Antonio Ruggiero, to whom we wish for the upcoming operation and a speedy recovery. He is replaced by the Serbian guard / winger born in 2003 Nikola Mraovica big boy who can play both ‘3’ and ‘4’ after a good performance against Cesena.
The novelty, however, is called Nicola Mei: guard born in 1985, player who replaced Mirco Turel, comes from Serie A2 where in Chiusi shirt last year he won promotion, already an opponent of Rimini. In the nine games played so far in the Roseto jersey, he has pocketed 5.6 points in almost 23 minutes on average.
Very high quality under the basket where we find an evergreen like the 1980 class center Valerio Amoroso, who averages 14.7 points per game with 46% from three points and despite the absence in the last game due to a neck problem should be regularly on the field; complete the long package a real ‘crack’ for Serie B like the Italian / Serbian winger born in 1999 Aleksa Nikolicbest scorer of the entire group C with 17.3 points on average (41 with 15/18 shooting in the last exit against Cesena) who also captures 6.4 rebounds per game.
The winger born in 1993 comes off the bench Alberto Serafinialso absent against Cesena, due to a wrist problem, but except for last minute surprises he will be in the match, and the middle class 2001 Riccardo Bassialready crossed in the Cremona jersey last year in the playoff quarter-finals.
