After the successes in race one and race two of the series, Givova Scafati will try to close the A2 playoff quarter-finals series. Tonight at 20.30, the Campanians will go down on the parquet of PalaFerraris against Novipiù Casale Monferrato, with the aim of ringing that third success which means passing the round. The troop of coach Valentini, however, is motivated by the desire to place at least one victory in these playoffs and to do it against the leaders of the red group, trying to lengthen the series and play all their chances to the end. Captain Martinoni, who has not been used so far, could then rejoin the group due to the contraction of covid-19, which forced him to watch his teammates play from home. The scafatese coach Alessandro Rossi on the sidelines: «Casale Monferrato is a warm, prepared and competent environment, where you can breathe real basketball, so I expect to find a team that will at least try to lengthen the series and take it to game four. We will not go to Piedmont knowing that we have two opportunities, but with the idea of playing the games one at a time. We cannot afford to take the field thinking about the point differences accumulated in the first two games of the series, because game three will be a completely different game from the others. Perhaps Casale Monferrato will recover captain Martinoni, a player who has experience and physicality, precious on both sides of the field, but his eventual presence on the field will not upset the order of the Piedmontese, against whom we will have to be mentally and physically ready, because we will be expected from a real battle “
