The Treviglio Basketball School made a good bet to cross the finish line of salvation by winning game 1 of the second round of the Regional Division 1 championship playout. At the Gatti gym the Varese guests of Robur et Fides were overcome with a clear score of 82-67. Five players from Treviglia in double figures starting with Cremaschi who scored 20 points, then Stucchi 19, Bacis 12, Pinotti 11, Codevilla 10. SBT who took control of the match from the start and always led: 10 ’28-20, 20′ 43-36, 30′ 65-54.
Sbt to Varese for safety
“We had good shooting percentages and the fact of often making baskets “erased out” the errors made both in defense and in attack – analyzes coach Luca Gamba -. Good distribution of points, 12 triples scored, were important in the beyond, I repeat, the defensive and choice errors made. We had good intensity in the 40 minutes, we were quite focused on the things we had prepared and thus managed to control the match.”
What impression did Robur et Fides Varese make on you?
“A team that knows how to play, they have many talented players with points in their hands. Their weak point is that they go at a different speed than ours: by making them run they got into difficulty.”
Game 1 behind us and it’s already time for game 2 at the Varese Campus this evening, Friday 14 June with tap-off at 9.15pm. How do you cross the finish line of salvation?
“We cut it by defending even stronger than we did in Treviglio – concludes coach Gamba -. We have to fix the things that didn’t go well in game 1: for example, Varese defended in a zone throughout the second half and took a little in difficulty. We don’t have to be frenetic, we have to be patient and turn the ball over. Instead we get confused, we get scared and everything becomes more difficult. As I always tell the team, you just need to pass the ball well and you’ll always get a good shot.”
In case of defeat there will be the third and decisive challenge on Friday 21 June at the Gatti gym. The Treviglio Basketball School clearly would like to avoid it, and it would also be the right and sacrosanct epilogue for the season complicated only by a regulation that has leaked from all sides.
