Basketball Trieste showed one of his (very few) best external versions in the first match of the play-offs against Reale Mutua Torino and won without paying a negative second quarter (compared to the other three positive ones), now leading the book-makers to give it 60% for the passage of the turn. The “series” will continue in the meantime starting from 8.30pm on Tuesday 7 May at the Gianni Asti sports hall in Viale Burdin. The referees will be Enrico Nale Boscolo from Chioggia, Salvatore Nuara from Treviso and Alberto Perocco from Ponzano Veneto. They will have the support of the scorer Sabrina Zongoli from Moncalieri, the timekeeper Elisabetta Dellatorre from Alba and the 24 second runner Sara Maria Federica Barcellona from Mondovì. Then it will be played on Friday evening at PalaTrieste, where a good crowd is expected.
Thus the coach of the Trieste team Jamie Christian: “Now another challenge awaits us. Whoever finds the best balance between attack and defense will win the series.”
And on the Turin side the coach Franco Ciani he commented after the match of the first match: “Perhaps you had forgotten that Trieste is among the favorites of this championship. He has an important staff, consider that in the senior rotation he left out Campogrande who has A1 championships behind him. Menalo remained on the pitch for 49 seconds, someone like Bossi for seven minutes. Trieste has the possibility to choose between eleven players who would all be starters in several other A2 teams. He has great physicality and can afford to commit fouls without suffering. Kennedy zero points on Sunday? A US (player) cannot fail to score points, especially when his equal opponent scores 27….”.
