RIETI – Npc Rieti makes a fool of itself, Cassino conquers the PalaSojourner and saves itself: 75-63 the final. A feat for Auletta’s men, who saved themselves, mortgaging the series with a clear 3-0, but with this Npc everything is easy.
Zero grit and character, salvation also comes from there, the only ones to give something are Sulina and Melchiorri, whistles and comparisons with the others. Now the possibility of saving themselves passes through the comparison with the loser of Desio – Salerno.
The race
Bad match at PalaSojourner, the attacks struggled, after almost 5′ of play the score was 2-2. Cassino, however, breaks free and makes the partial, +5 and Ponticiello immediately stops the game. The coach is right to talk about it, because Sulina and Markovic break free and Rieti grabs parity, this time it is Auletta who calls time out. At the end of the first quarter the two teams closed at 13-13. Bad start to the second quarter: Rieti collects triples from Milosevic and Dincic, one after the other, the Rieti defense stands by and watches, +6 for Virtus. The ending was terrible, the NPC remained to watch and Cassino took advantage, 34-27 for the guests at half time. Upon returning, Cassino flies to +10, it’s a hard blow, but the team finds the strength to react, Sulina and Melchiorri carry the team on their shoulders, Rieti is minus 4. Da Campo misses a very important triple, Cassar is null and void on the rebound and Truglio hits the Npc, Cassino again on +9. But it is the former Del Testa who does the most harm with a triple at the end of the third quarter, which the guests end 49-40. Cassino remains in control of the court, Sulina tries to keep his players alive, but Zucca takes care of resuming the match with a very heavy triple, Rieti takes the lead again 59-58. To extinguish the dreams of glory of
Npc takes care of Del Testa, it’s his triple of +5 that pushes Rieti away again. Gay and Moreaux knock out the NPC, Cassino is safe, 75-63.
