Aquila Basket Trento: a summary of the championship

The season in Serie A of‘Aquila Basketball Trento it can be outlined with chiaroscuro outlines, as in reality a good part of the teams that play in the top Italian championship.

There are in fact many surprises this year, with a title fight that seems to have seen the interruption of the dualism between Virtus Bologna and Olimpia Milanoalso involving other teams such as Brescia and Venezia.

However, you certainly don’t need to know the rules of FIBA ​​and NBA basketball perfectly or theheight of the basket in the NBA and in Italy to understand the clear superiority of the roster of Bolognese and Milanese, who still have all the cards available to win the title.

L’Aquila Trento Basketballdespite not having the chance to aspire to final success, can play their chances of reaching the playoffs.

Taking a look at the rankinga, the Bianconeri are in the correct position to achieve the seasonal goal, an eventuality that appears as the worthy epilogue of a season always conducted in that ranking position, in the face of physiological ups and downs over the course of a year.

An achievement which, however, should not be taken for granted. Considering the roster available to coach Paolo Galbiati, among the spearheads is Ellis, a very young player born in 2003 of British origins, who at the beginning of the championship was more of a gamble than anything else.

The true cornerstones of the Trentino team are confirmed to be Grazulis and Baldwin, with the former able to guarantee a precision in the 3-point shot without equal among his teammates, and probably destined to say goodbye to more important places at the end of the season.

A important element to be taken into consideration in the overall judgment of the season concerns the injuries. Coach Galbiati has almost always been forced to do without at least one player, defections which weigh above all in the long run considering the fight on multiple fronts.

The European journey in the EuroCup ended last February: the defeat against Aris in the Thessaloniki sports hall was decisive, preventing the Trentino team from accessing the playoffs. However, they exited the European competition with their heads held high, having played out the next phase until the last day of the regular season and even coming close to achieving the feat.

The step forward in mentality during the new Galbati management is also evident in the Italian championship. In the round against Olimpia Milano the defeat came only at the endshowcasing a team focused and mentally present in the match until the end.

The same goes for the clashes with Universo Treviso and Reggiana: both matches ended with a defeat, but with only three points difference (two in the case of the match against the Emilians).

This leaves us to imagine that there is plenty of room for growth for the Trentino team: what makes the difference, especially against teams considered within reach, is the attention to detail and this is where the greatest shortcomings occur.starting with a categorical imperative regarding improving three-point shooting.

L’more ambitious goal would be to equal the finish line achieved last season, with the regular season finished in sixth place with 15 victories and 15 defeats in total. For now, the playoff appointment is confirmed: the rest is all to be written.
