Showdown time for the young blue and whites of coaches Cavara and Bacilieri, who face International Imola in the Final of the Primavera Cup of the Under 13 Elite championship. Series based on the best of two matches, in case of a victory for each side it will be decided by the points difference.
Bondi Vis who has the field factor in their favor, after finishing the group unbeaten in the Second Spring Phase: first match, therefore, on the Imola parquet. In a balanced match, with errors on both sides and a rhythm that was difficult to find, the Vissini commanded for the first two quarters, closing on 28-33 at halftime. In the third quarter the blue and whites stretched decisively, despite struggling to find offensive continuity but relying on an intense and concentrated defense. With 13 minutes left, Bondi Vis is 32-44. After the time-out, the home team lights up and grows, while on the other side there is a lack of aggression and clarity. After a final period with scoring difficulties for both teams, Imola put their noses ahead with 60 seconds to go. The boys no longer find the way to the basket and the red and whites make an important escape. It ends 60-53.
The match at Palapalestre was therefore decisive. To accompany the vissini, a lot of presence and warmth from a beautiful audience, which made the atmosphere spectacular and unique.
Despite a intimidating start, with Imola moving forward, Bondi Vis loosens up and ends the first period ahead at 19-18.
Great energy and intensity are found in a second period at the limits of perfection. In attack, confidence also grows from beyond the arc, counterattacks and possessions with the defense deployed improve. Imola takes advantage of some important offensive rebounds, but the boys go to the locker room at 44-33.
The second half of the Vissini team was almost flawless defensively: a lot of pressure, concentration and intensity, in addition to the total control of the rebounds, did not allow the Imola skills to have an easy life. In attack, despite some blackouts, Bondi Vis relies on the confidence it has acquired in its own midfield, makes decisive use of 1-on-1s and carries out fundamental counter-attacks. The attack is continuous, the pace never drops, thanks to the contribution of all the blue and whites. It ends 81-53.
Big party on the parquet, with the boys ending the year raising their game Cup Spring after one of the most convincing performances of the season. Congratulations also go to International Imola, a team with great qualities who have always played high-level matches. And finally, lots of applause for the warm boys in the stands, who at the end of the match raised the cup and celebrated together with the blue and white, giving a fantastic image on which the 23/24 Season ends.
