Also this evening, the yellow and blue have shown all their value and their potential, winning against a team that had confirmed itself since the beginning of the regular season in the upper quarters of the standings, and able to mathematically conquer the first place with two more games to play.
Verona tried, fought and won, proving once again to be a top-ranking team. It is true that Tezenis was already in the playoffs, and this was not a foregone conclusion for a team that, first of all, has profoundly renewed itself, which has rejuvenated itself, which has lost an American for almost the entire pre-season and also for the start of the season and which saw the playmaking department devastated due to injuries, without forgetting that the Gialloblù started penalized by 3 points in the standings, but tonight Verona against the top of the class, against a team with statistics in the two halves that have made them the best team in the group, as on other occasions, she never gave up, she played it from start to finish and took home a fantastic victory. Tonight’s challenge also allowed Ramagli’s team to measure the growth process and their potential, knowing that from now on they will have to deal with as many high-quality teams.
Against Scafati, Verona starts badly in the first quarter; then he comes back under but Scafati stretches in the final and closes with 11 points of advantage after the first 10 minutes.
