It ends with a very clear success for 78-96 on Pistoia the championship of Varese Basketball which, despite these two points, finishes in third to last place in the rankings, the worst result since the return to the LBA combined with that of the 2020-2021 season. Let’s go and see the votes in the red and white house.
Mannion 7: He starts the match driven by a unique energy and desire to go and get the MVP award of the championship, after having received the one in April. This leads him to have a very high level first half, in which he sends Pistoia’s defense into a complete tailspin. After returning from the locker rooms, however, he begins to push too hard, gets nervous and receives an expulsion which causes him to end the match prematurely, who knows if it was also the early end of the relationship with Varese: a hypothesis that everyone Frankly, we hope it doesn’t become a reality.
Spencer 8.5: We wrote it during the presentation: one of the keys to the match would be Skyler’s ability to win the direct challenge with Ogbeide and so it was. The dominance in the rebounding fight of the red and white big man was literally crazy as he closed with 23 rebounds captured, a unique figure which made all the difference in the world in the match in favor of Varese who thus found the possibility of running in transition more and several times, raising the pace and literally blasting Pistoia’s defense.
Woldetensae 6: A close to the season without infamy and without praise for Tomas who thus ends his Bosina experience barring sensational twists.
Moretti 9: The air of “home” for him, who grew up in Pistoia’s youth sector and who made his debut with that shirt and scored his first points in Serie A, has the same effect as when a bull sees the color red. Moro goes wild and is literally unstoppable for Moore and his teammates, he finishes with 30 points and sends a clear signal to all of Varese: before giving up on him, the club should think twice.
McDermott 8: Closing of the season in great style for the red and white captain who bombs the Pistoia basket with continuity and relentless precision. For him in the end it will be 21 points accompanied by 8 rebounds, testimony to a total game from the red and white captain, a piece to try to hold on to with all his might to give continuity to the project next year.
Besson 5: Anonymous evidence from the Frenchman who appears to have already gone on holiday a week early.
Okeke 6: This evening Bialaszewski prefers him to Ulaneo in the rotations and Leonardo repays him with a lot of effort, 3 points and a couple of rebounds. Objectively, he appears very fit on the pitch and we hope that the summer work will lead him to be in a much better condition for next season.
Brown 6.5: As long as the game is tactically controlled, i.e. the first quarter, he struggles a lot but when Varese runs and raises the engine revs he becomes the protagonist in the first red and white transition, piercing the Pistoia defense over and over again. Sore point of the evening? The lack of three-point shooting precision, a statistic that sees him close with 2/7 and 28%.
