It will be a play-off for the quarter-finals for Allianz Derthona. This is the sentence that comes out at the Estra Forum in Chiusi from the decisive clash against Nex Nippon Express Fidenza for the victory in Group A and the consequent direct qualification to the quarter-finals of the U19 Eccellenza National Finals.
The evident negative partial of the third period condemned the Bianconeri to the final second place in the group, a 6-25 total with Ramponi standing as the architect of the escape with 14 points in the fraction for the Emilians, who canceled out the +9 of the first half of Derthona, the result of the attacking streak of Baldi and Josovic and an excellent team defense, and they snatched the direct pass for the next phase. The comeback in the final minutes of the boys coached by Luca Ansaloni was comforting but unsuccessful, as they paid for a bad day when shooting three-pointers (2/23).
Tomorrow at 14pm, again in Chiusi, the play-off will take place to enter the top eight in Italy against the 3rd of Group B, Fortitudo Basket Francavilla, who prevailed in the direct clash against Pistoia Basket 2000, closing their group with 2 points after the previous defeats at the hands of Vis 2008 Ferrara and Pall. Varese
In case of success in the quarterfinals, Allianz will take the winner of Group C on Friday, one between EA7 Emporio Armani Milano and College Basketball Borgomanero, otherwise the Italian adventure of the Lions club will end.
Tomorrow's play-off will also be broadcast live on the Italbasket Twitch channel and on the BasketLike.it YouTube channel
