You might think that nothing is lost, because if you exploit the field factor of game 2 and find, in game 3, a once again dazed Capo d’Orlando, the objective can be achieved.
Certainly, a sensational epilogue, a game thrown to the wind, an 18-point lead wasted and the utmost insipidity, even from the bench, in the management of the final minute and a half which started from a +10 of maximum security.
It wasn’t a question of fuel, more of a final psychological collapse, which doesn’t belong to a team that wants to move up in category.
An unexpectedly happy afternoon for Virtus who couldn’t imagine finding a highway towards victory,
The start was favorable for the Ragusans but the feeling that Capo d’Orlando could get back into the game was just around the corner.
The closing of the first quarter at 7-23 could be considered an insurance, there was also the return of the home team, who managed to close the first 20 minutes with only 8 points behind.
The third quarter sees Ragusa barely contain the reaction of the home team, ending at 43-47.
Despite the objectively difficult moment, Ianelli and Simon manage to bring Ragusa, again, to 47-55, three minutes from the end there are still 8 points ahead, 49-57 and with 1.30 from the end the scoreboard registers +10.
At this point Virtus loses the thread, unsportsmanlike, turnovers and shots that don’t see the rim, parity and we go to extra time. Final without story that records only one point for Ragusa in five minutes, an epilogue, let us be allowed, unseemly.
Recupido can only admit the final errors in the last minute of regulation, he considers, based on what was seen in the first 39 minutes, that he can play it on par with Capo d’Orlando, but the evaluation should be made with at least a normal performance from the opponents .
Only the public can give a big hand in Game 2 to regain hope.
