Roseto conquers PalaPuca di Sant’Antimo in game 4 of the quarter-final playoffs and flies to the next round, closing the series at 3-1. A match dominated from the second period onwards, with differences even exceeding twenty points: Campania who never gave up, trying to re-emerge at the end (even returning to minus 7 at three minutes), a triple from Santiangeli and an attentive defense then managed to this fact closed off all Neapolitan hopes. A great match was expected and a great match has arrived, Liofilchem pushed again today by the many splendid fans who arrived at PalaPuca: another important step achieved, applause for the club, technical staff and obviously players.
The intentions of Durante and his companions could already be seen from the beginning, namely to approach well and above all to return to Abruzzo with a smile: after an initial period practically in balance (19-23), in the second ten minutes the music changed, a decisive break 16-4 and the score at halftime was 38-53 with Guaiana, Mantzaris and Klyuchnyk on top.
Well done to Roseto in holding off the angry guest reaction, the baskets from Santiangeli and Tamani giving peace of mind, together with a fundamental triple from Maiga. At the end of the game 4 in double figures, 16 points each for Santiangeli (3/4 from three) and an excellent Vincenzo Guaiana, 8/9 from two and above all 9 harpooned rebounds, 14 + 9 for Klyuchnyk well supported by his teammate Georges Tamani, 14 and 7 rebounds.
From Tuesday we will begin to prepare as best we can for the semi-final series (always the best of 5 games): game 1 will take place on Sunday 19 May (with game 2 two days later) Ristopro Fabriano will arrive at PalaMaggetti, from the Marches who eliminated Gema Montecatini and already opponents of the biancazzurri in the regular season.
