The hopes of the Infodrive Capo d’Orlando are extinguished only on the final siren, which touches the victory against Treviglio, at the end of a hard-fought match, which ended at 65-66. King‘s shot, which could have delivered the two points to the home team, is spat out by the iron, giving the Lombard victory.
King’s 22 points and Mack’s 16 points are not enough, but the paladins will be able to make up for it as early as Wednesday evening at 20:30, when Cantù will arrive at PalaFantozzi, a team trained by coach Marco Sodini, fresh from the victory on the Trapani field for 103- 67.
The chronicle of the race:
In a balanced start, it is Mack’s triple that opens the dance, but the guests try to escape, with Sollazzo and Venuto, up to +9 (5-14). After 6 minutes it is the time of the esorstable and the first Biancoazzura knit point by Andrea Traini. With a couple of excellent initiatives by King, the Infodrive returns until -4 (12-16), but Treviglio shows solidity and experience and with Bogliardi and Lupusor brings its advantage in double figures (12-22). Diouf and Mack close the fourth at 16-22.
The start of the partial second is excited and tension grows: Poser finds the bottom of the retina, but Treviglio goes up to +11 with Langston and Miaschi (21-32). The paladins do not stop believing it and the dunks of Diouf and King restore enthusiasm: the triple from Traini and two points from King are worth 2 (32-34). Bags closes the game from three points, but two points of Mack in transition send the teams in the locker rooms on the 34-37.
Upon returning from the long break, Treviglio gets into gear and tries to escape: two triples from Sacchetti and the baskets from D’Almeida and Miaschi are worth +12 (35-47). Cardani coach talks about him, who start making more productive defenses, but continue to be inaccurate to the shot. They are two points of veccherate to bring the infoDrive to -7 to 1’30 “from the last mini-interval (41-48). SOLLAZZO puts the triple, but king nailed to the countertop closes the third quarter on 43-51.
The infoDrive believes us and returns to a single possession of a distance when Miaschi nails to the counterattack. They are two king bombs to explode the Palafantozzi, bringing the hosts for the first time. Treviglio does not give up and returns to +4 (59-63), but Capo d’Orlando is still there and the USA duo Mack-King brings the paladins back to +2 (65-63). In the final, however, the Biancoazzurri sin of inexperience and guests go ahead of a point to 5 “from the end. King takes the shot from behind the arch, but the iron tells him no and the match ends 65-66.
