At the “Forzati” Tent of Sant’Antonio Abate, in the match valid for the fifth day of the second phase of the Men’s Serie D championship, Girone Oro, splendid victory for the O.ME.PS The Orthopedics Medical Tech Agrivit New CTA Battipaglia who, thanks to an exhilarating comeback built in the last quarter, surpasses the hosts of Pallacanestro Antoniana to win a truly incredible match. Final result: 74-83.
The record.
The hosts are off to a better start, good at combining offensive effectiveness and defensive solidity in a first quarter that sees them spring forward and stretch, albeit not too much, on a Battipaglia that manages not to get too far behind thanks, in especially, to the baskets of Niccolò Volpe (8 points for him in the opening fraction, his impact on the match was very positive. In the 10th minute, Pallacanestro Antoniana was ahead by 6 (18-12).
In the second quarter, the inertia is reversed: it is the guests, in fact, who produce themselves in a more brilliant fraction, especially in attack: Scoltani and Capaccio score precious baskets allowing the orange-and-whites to recover precious ground by halving the disadvantage. The landlords, however, resist, remaining in the lead in scoring, albeit with a significantly eroded gap. At the long half-time, Pallacanestro Antoniana has a 3 point advantage (33-30).
The match, in the third quarter, proves to be unpredictable and difficult to read: inertia, in fact, reverses itself again, returning to the prerogative of the Neapolitan team which gives a considerable acceleration to its pace: 22 points scored in the fraction. Battipaglia, after the exhilarating run-up in the second period, lost ground, trying to hold on to Alford and Capaccio, authors together of all 12 points scored by the guests in the third quarter (6 each). For the orange-and-whites, to get back on top, a last fraction of great thickness will be needed. At 30′, the hosts are ahead by 13 (55-42).
And the last quarter of Battipaglia is much more than thick: it’s terrific. Coach Ghilardi’s boys, in the last fraction, put on the parquet a sample of great basketball, a concentration of technical qualities, athletic skills, mental strength and competitive energy. This explains why guests manage to score something like 41 points in the last period. Alford (MVP of the match) and Niccolò Volpe are the protagonists of the orange-and-whites’ ascent (16 and 10 points, respectively, only in the final fraction). Pallacanestro Antoniana, after 30 minutes of quality, is forced to give way. The final success comes from an aggressive O.ME.PS The Orthopedics Medical Tech Agrivit Nuovo CTA Battipaglia which, in Sant’Antonio Abate, imposes itself with a score of 74-83.
