Home defeat at PalaAngeli for Nuovo Basket L’quilano overtaken by Stamura Ancona.
It ends with the deserved victory of CAB Stamura Ancona the midweek round of the Playout Group of the Conference Central Italy played at the PalaAngeli, with much regret for the New L’Aquila Basketball which wastes a golden opportunity to close the discussion about remaining in the Interregional SERIE B three days early.
A defeat which, also considering the other results, shortens the distances between all the teams and if at the moment Isernia And Grottaferratawith three days to go, they appear to be the most likely candidates for the last two places for direct relegation to Serie C, everything is still open for the third to last position, which will lead to a play-off with the third to last of the Sicily-Campania Conference. Calabria-Puglia-Basilicata
This is the situation of the Playout Group which still sees the New L’Aquila Basketball leading the table, equal on points with Civitanova on 14, with Mondragone, Stamura Ancona and Pescara on 12, Roseto on 10, Grottaferrata on 8 and Isernia closing the group on 6.
Last night was a failure, in front of so many people who filled the PalaAngeli even on Wednesday in the hope of being able to celebrate a prestigious result for the whole city at the end of the race.
After a first quarter played as everyone expected and with good shooting percentages, topped off by an equally positive defense on the perimeter, Nuovo Basket L’Aquilano (which had closed the first 10 minutes on a reassuring 20-12), in the second half of the game began to suffer the comeback of the guests who halved the deficit at halftime (39-35) and then produced a third period of very high intensity on both sides of the pitch, at the same time increasing the scores, especially the three-point shot.
A fraction that effectively marked the match, giving confidence and inertia to Stamura and the comeback attempt and the last effort produced by the coach’s boys were of no use Goodbye who after reaching a draw midway through the fourth period, could not physically handle the continuity and freshness of the Marche players, arriving with evident shortness of breath at the decisive moments of the match, managed with greater clarity and control by the green and white guests.
The remaining three matches will now give meaning to the entire season of Nuovo Basket L’Aquilano, expected on 6 April on the parquet of Pescara Basket, then at PalaAngeli on 14 April the match with Roseto 20.20, to close on 21 April in the Marche on the pitch of Civitanova.
