VARESE – A big, huge one Varese Basketball literally annihilates the Dolomiti Energia Trento (93-57) and arrives at Under 19 championship semi-finals. The Roosters play a game of great defensive intensity and always punish punctually up front (13/36 from 3). The dominance of a is also clear rebound (51-36 the count of caroms, many offensives). So the appointment is tomorrow, Saturday 4 May, at 6.30 pm against Tortona.
The secret of the team
Here it is explained by coach Davide Roncari. “We as a team and as a corporate philosophy play basketball with a high number of possessions, but everything depends on the energy we manage to put into defense. The semi-final against Tortona? So far we have played 6 matches against them between Serie B and Under 19, tomorrow will be the 7th. A team we know very well, may the best win.”
The tricolor dream continues
The Roosters’ tricolor dream continues the young red and whites don’t want to wake up right now. “We played a great game defensively – the words of Edoardo Bottelli, MVP of the match with 18 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists – perhaps Trento was a little tired from yesterday’s extra play-offs, but we deserved to win. Tortona is a good team, but we deserved this semi-final and tomorrow we will give everything.”
