B Interregional – Heart-pounding Sunday for Gallarate. the others all quiet

The primacy in their respective groups was secured Robur Saronno and Basket Sangiorgese they face the last day of the Gold phase with a relaxed spirit. Same relaxed soul as Basket7Laghi Gazzada who, after having found their first success in this Gold phase of the championship, are calmly approaching the last match of the season. Totally different situation, however, for the BasketBall Gallarateas we told you in yesterday’s piece.

GALLARATE HERE – Winning by at least 17 points against La Spezia and supporting Borgomanero against Lucca, this is the hope of the BBG who are looking for a miraculous pass for the playoffs of the Interregional B championship. Mercante, Passerini and Hidalgo are still in doubt among the ranks of the Galletti who cannot afford to make mistakes against the Ligurians in the hope of extending the season beyond April 21st.

GAZZADA HERE – Nothing to ask but one last effort still to be made for coach Cantarelli’s boys who, after the success against Cecina last week, will approach the last match of the season with serenity, aware that they will no longer be able to reach one of the 6 available places to go to the playoffs. The current opponent is San Miniato, away.

HERE THEY WILL BE – The Saronno team closes its excellent journey in the regular season in the Interregional Serie B in a perfect way, with a basketball “trip” to Siena.
“I really don’t think we will face the Siena trip with the spirit of the “holiday group”, however – underlines Marco Novati, GM of AZ Saronno -, it’s true that we will play the last match with all the tranquility possible. A serenity which, it is worth highlighting, we have achieved through positive results but, even more so, by showcasing basketball that is as pleasant as it is effective. So, on the merits of the match, I am sure that our group will take to the field with the idea of ​​playing to the maximum and as always, but on this occasion even more so, eager to offer a spectacle to a demanding public with a refined palate such as the Sienese one”.

HERE I BLOOD – The Sangiorgino group, fresh from the pitched battle won in Pordenone, with related injuries, see the point guard Marco Braccagni hit hard in the elbow and in doubt for the last match, is preparing to receive the visit of Basket Gardonese, one of the few teams that, this season, it beat LTC.
“We are first in the standings but – says Alessandro Esposito, born in 1997, Sangiorgese pivot forward -, we have no intention of sitting back waiting for the playoffs to start. Even more so having to face a technically and physically demanding team like Gardone Valtrompia who beat us in the first leg more clearly than the final result suggests: 77-74.
They are a good team led by a top player like Ignacio Davico, a point guard who is rightly considered a luxurious element in his category. Together with the Argentine director we will have to defend well against other important players such as Motta, a small forward guard who is an excellent shooter and a trio of high-performance wingers such as Airaghi, Basso and Markus. So beyond the ranking which is largely defined for us, the playoffs are now very close and staying “connected” to the championship in terms of concentration and determination is absolutely mandatory.”
