Delfes Avellino reopens the playoff semifinal series by winning game 3 against Caffè Toscano Livorno who surrenders 82-70. A performance bordering on perfection for the green and whites over the forty minutes of play who found their driving force in Vasl thanks to 22 points with 6/9 in triples. On Sunday there is the possibility of equalizing the scores but we will have to pay attention to an opponent who will want to redeem themselves after the opaque performance offered this evening.
The news
Avellino tries to show determination by trying to replicate the game plan seen in game 2, i.e. giving their team the ball shoulder to basket, thus giving depth. Nikolic is the most inspired in attack as confirmed by the six points recorded on the scoresheet. Pielle struggled to get into a rhythm, shooting poorly in the area (2/6) and conceding five offensive rebounds to their opponents. The inertia does not change and the Wolves take advantage of the moment to escape to 19-7 with Nikolic’s bomb again which gives them the first significant advantage in the match two minutes after the first siren sounds. The guests get back under double figures to recover with Loschi’s bomb which sets the score at 19-11 at the end of the first half. Chinellato and Loschi again keep the match going with blows and baskets in the paint. Ferraro and Laganà create a 4-0 minibreak but Fresno immediately extinguishes the danger from long range (24-15). Delfes is good at limiting the blue and white guns, in particular Chiarini who finds the first basket in the 16th minute. Miha Vasl also wakes up from the arc and scores the bomb to make it 32-20 which forces the Livorno bench to resort to a second timeout. Two bombs will come out signed by Rubbini who sends coach Crotti into a rage who sees Caffè Toscano getting back on track. The scolding of the Irpinia technical staff meant that Carenza and his associates managed to keep the Labronians at a distance, finishing at 36-27 at half-time with a first-class first half. Upon returning from the changing rooms, Livorno proposes a faster quintet with fewer centimetres. Lo Biondo’s hand is polite and scores 38-32. The same goes for Vasl who lights up from beyond the arc and places three shots in a row. Burini also signed up for the triples festival. The gap widens with Bortolin and Delfes escapes at +18 (54-36 at 26′) and PaladelMauro explodes with joy. On the pitch there is only one team in command and it is the green and white team. Campori thinks differently and punishes from the corner, bringing Pielle back to 56-41 and punishing two bad offensive possessions by the Wolves. Vasl will get everyone to agree at the end of the third quarter with his fifth personal triple: 62-46. Fresno flies on the counterattack to crush, marking a movie night for Avellino who must pay more attention to well-constructed shots from the Tyrrhenian brand as in the case of Loschi (66-51 in the 33rd minute). Caffè Toscano isn’t starting to raise their shooting percentages and defensive pressure that extends across the pitch with Lo Biondo and Diouf. On the other hand, Vasl is a 6.75 meter winner on par with Burini in free throws (74-63 in the 37th minute). Fresno puts a claim by finding the basket to make it 80-67 with ninety seconds left in the match. It ends 82-70. It’s a big party in the Zoccolari district.
