Saturday 5 March the CheTariffa Leopardi Future Lab took the field at PalaLevi as a guest of Pallacanestro Grugliasco, for the second day of the second phase of Serie D.
After the good victory of last Sunday, the Leopards confirm the steps forward in a balanced and often managed race in the lead. In the last moments there is only a little experience to be able to bring home the result.
BEA struggles to find the measures in the first few minutes and accumulates a disadvantage that soon arrives in double figures. Blanco signs from behind the area on 15-8 and rekindles the Leopards, who have to deal with some problems with fouls. Closed the first quarter 26-15, the CheTariffa is good at mending the second fraction. Still Blanco from long range hits the goal of -2 (32-30) and immediately after that of overtaking (32-33).
The start of recovery is in favor of the Leopards, slender up to +9 (maximum advantage, 40-49). Grugliasco does not miss the race and soon gets back in touch. In the last ten BEA is 5 points above, with Barbero leading the attack. But the game is not over, Calzavara finds the overhang on 68-67 and leads his team in the final, when the siren sounds on 82-76.
“I am very satisfied with the boys’ game – Coach Colò comments – On a difficult field like PalaLevo, we managed to limit Grugliasco’s play and force our opponents to many forced conclusions. We are laying the foundations for a large group. Now we continue to work to bring salvation home as soon as possible“.
