The victorious race 1 is now in the archives for theAmca Elevatori Handicap Sport Varese That Saturday in Rome (5pm) against Lazio Basket will look for an encore it would be worth the return after two years in the Serie A championship of wheelchair basketball.
The first challenge of this promotion final showed a rather clear superiority of the Varese team against the Romans, defeated with a clear score of 58-42.
But the draw (in the definition of the two grids that make up the final phase of the Serie B championship, Lazio was drawn before the red and whites) now allows the Capitoline team the advantage of the second match and the possible “beautiful” match, scheduled for 24 hours away, on home field.
There trust however, it is a must on the part of Silva and his teammates, while it is absolutely forbidden to think that the superiority shown in game 1 could represent a sort of safe conduct, immunity or guarantee with respect to Saturday’s commitment in the capital.
The 16 point difference in game 1, which at a certain point was even 20, certainly has a meaning (the difference in goals in this case, however, has no weight), also because this disparity in values arose in a match in which the Amca Elevatori’s main offensive players, Roncari (7 points) and Silva (11), certainly did not shine. Iragorri (21) and Samadi (11) were very good at taking the right initiatives in the opponent’s half of the field and making up for the difficulties shown by their two teammates in the scoring phase.
In addition, the Varese people showed a defence truly excellent which, net of some truly sensational errors by the opponents under the boards, really put Lazio in difficulty, forced to the season’s minimum number of points scored, only 42.
The questions regarding Saturday’s match in Rome are right here: Will AMCA be able to replicate this good defensive performance? Will the refereeing allow for any roughness at the back? And to what extent could the almost certain failure of the other Roman team involved in these promotion finals, Giovani & Tenaci, to the advantage of Millennium Padova affect the fate of this challenge?
Meanwhile, the team has completed its preparation and is ready for action most important trip of the year, which will take place on Saturday morning by bus. Fans will be able to follow the commentary of the match on the SS Lazio Basket Facebook page starting from 5pm on Saturday 11 May.
