(red.) With the tranquility and coldness of a great team, Germani Brescia overcame the Dolomiti Energia Trento with authority, bringing the streak of consecutive victories in the A1 men’s basketball championship to 13. A game that has never been in question and in which the hosts soon gained an advantage of more than ten points and went ahead quietly until the end of the game, stopping every feeble attempt of the opponents to get under and also allowing themselves superior advantages. to the fan.
In short, when the Brescia players take over the reins of the game they are problems for everyone, as evidenced by the numerous illustrious scalps brought home in recent weeks. The match with Trento ended 86-62 and to slow down the march of this Germani, the injury of Cobbins, dominator of the painting, nor that of Parrillo or the ailments of Burns were not enough: now Brescia basketball fans are waiting to see what and how many other satisfactions will be able to give them the team of coach Alessandro Magro.
Perhaps someone may be surprised by the home matchday scorer rankings Brescia, with Gabriel at 18 points, Della Valle at 16, Mitrou-Long at 13 and Petrucelli at 12, but this statistic only serves to demonstrate for the umpteenth time that Germani cannot rely only on the ballistic capacity of its two stars. and even when the Canadian playmaker and the league’s top scorer slow down, there are others to bring hay to the farm. And in fact, under the double figures, but well present on the scoresheet, we also find Moss, Eboua, Moore and Burns.
There is not much to say about the match: Brescia closes the first quarter ahead of 14 (26-12), goes to the long break with 13 points ahead (45-32), decisively rejects the guests’ attempt to get closer in the third period, closing 63-52. And then in the fourth quarter he must not force too much to get to +24 of the final siren: 86-62.
“As I said before the game, it was really nice to hug our fans 100% again. and it is nice to celebrate the thirteenth consecutive victory with them ”, commented coach Alessandro Magro. “We always try to play effective basketball but tonight we did it only occasionally, in a game in which we saw how important a player like Mike Cobbins is for us and how much he always gives us in attack and defense. In any case, it was important to win and take the two points up for grabs: now we have to recharge our energies, because three very difficult matches await us, two of which against our closest rivals. I am satisfied with the result, but not too satisfied with the game expressed: only the great teams, however, are able to maintain such a high mental level. This is why I want my players to continue to show me, match after match, that they always have the winning mentality “.
