The bitterness in the mouth remains even after days. The recovery dell’Allianz did not arrive, as well as those signs of recovery and growth that the whole environment hoped to see after the meager appearance in Final Eight. But at least for the moment there is little to do: this is the current Pallacanestro Trieste, take or leave. And whoever chews on basketball a little, knows perfectly well that nothing is taken for granted and that fragile balances cannot become solid in just fifteen days. All the more so if you find yourself in front of you teams much more on the ball in terms of energy: and it is precisely the right energy to be missed again, this time against a Venezia with so many important defections that now seems to have found the square after months of trouble. The exact opposite of a contracted and predictable Allianz in the game, which ended up banging its nose many times under the scoreboards and even more so in lining up two noteworthy attacking actions.
With a calendar that does not allow for distractions (tomorrow night there is the internal recovery with Sassari, next Sunday the terrible challenge in the lair of theArmani Exchange), for the band of Franco Ciani talk about a bad time also in terms of self-esteem it’s not wrong at all. And even if the ranking still smiles, in order to remain hooked not only to the top positions but also “trivially” to the play-off train, we will really have to be careful not to make other empty passes identical as those seen recently. But what can therefore really change from last Sunday’s dull performance to tomorrow night’s recovery against a Banco di Sardegna fresh from four victories in the last five championship days? Difficult to say, given the very short time frame to be able to really recover the right condition. Net of the next opponents, who will surely make few discounts, in the end Allianz must start again in the first instance from a convincing approach to the match: when those who recently faced them made a small tear in the score, Trieste is ended up disunited and never find the right tactical square on the parquet. Translated: few real team games and a lot of improvisation linked to the creativity of the individual (The only Banks always proves to be on point, but inevitably ends up at the mercy of the defensive doublings of others and making the Julian attack on iron predictable).
Ciani must necessarily work again on the famous balance to be found again: a difficult task to do it with many actual undertones, but for the Allianz the famous bar that has to rise from here until the end of the season also passes from the extreme conviction – after the “glories” of first round – having to start from scratch. The one against Sassari will be an important proof of appeal for allin primis per un Alexander (in the picture) which certainly will not be able to solve all the problems of a currently shaky red and white control room on its own, but which at the same time will also have to give an important sign of life after a race like the one against Venice of great anonymity. In any case, the awakening of Trieste does not pass through individuals: to return to being protagonists, it will be necessary to do it by taking over also the right attitude, as also pointed out by Daniele Cavaliero in the post-game last Sunday. Right from here, net of pure and simple tactics, the recovery can start again.
