At the end of an unexciting match, Mondo Camerette Bk Casapulla takes the stakes and takes home two precious points to confirm themselves in the lead in group A of the Serie C Silver Campana championship. Useless efforts of a diligent and square Pallacanestro San Michele Maddaloni who, however, never gave up until the final stages.
The 1st quarter immediately suggests what the leitmotif of the match will be. In fact, with a partial 4-0 for the guests, the Gialloblù take the reins of the match in hand and lead them to the end. The first fraction, the best one from the point of view of the show on the pitch, ends 22-12 for the hosts. In the 2nd quarter coach Monteforte begins the swirl of changes, gradually rotating all the available players, also thanks to the negative days of Premasunac and Messa. The Croatian seems to be a bad copy of the one seen on the pitch in Caiazzo seven days earlier, playing 40 minutes early on Linton Johnson on both sides of the pitch, while the Argentine is stubborn with personal solutions that only play the opponents’ game. Halfway through the game the score marks 37-25 for the hosts. Area tests with alternating events on the yellow and blue side. The second half of the match, in particular the third fraction, becomes the fair of shooting errors, on both sides of the field, with the defenses to get the better of the attacks and many forcing with a foregone conclusion. Coach Monteforte decides to keep the boys from the nursery on the pitch for almost the entire second half and in the end he will be right. The quarter run shows 5-7 for the guests and the overall score says 42-32 for the Appia team. Last fraction of the meeting with the guests on the assault to try to mend the gap. Operation partially successful because the San Michele basketball also reaches -5 from the yellow and blue, but then it is Cecere, assisted by an Esposito in a day of grace to close the accounts for the final 54-44 and to send everyone in the shower.
Bittersweet day for the Gialloblù who come out of the match thanks to the self-denial of the boys of the nursery. Also worth mentioning are the young people Natale and Orlando with a good defensive performance and Morelli author of his best performance of the season in attack.
