Bertram Derthona's 2022 season ends with a defeat, as at the PalaEnergica Paolo Ferraris chases Nutribullet Treviso for almost the entire duration of the match, closing the gap into double figures several times without however managing to overtake in the closing stages. The Bianconeri's next match will be Monday 2 January 2023 at 19.30 pm at the Enerxenia Arena against Openjobmetis Varese.
First period favorable to Treviso, driven by the percentage of shots from outside: the team coached by Marcelo Nicola leads from the start and extends to 18-26 in the 10th minute. In the second half, Nutribullet widened their gap, reaching the double-digit margin, before suffering the reaction of Bertram, who closed 41-47 behind at halftime.
Upon returning from the changing rooms, Derthona took the lead with a lightning-fast 7-0 which led to coach Nicola's time-out: after the suspension, Nutribullet - led by Banks and Iroegbu - scored a break which was worth 65-75 in the third siren. In the final period Bertram, pushed by the public, makes a great effort to get back in touch: the series of baskets by Macura, Candi and Christon are worth -1 (81-82) 5 minutes from the end, leading to a final in sprint. The two teams respond blow for blow, with great individual plays: Iroegbu's free throws seal the guest's +3 (89-92) with 11 seconds to go. Derthona fails to score the equalizer and Treviso coolly wins the victory 90-95.
Thus coach Marco Ramondino at the end of the race: “Given that Treviso's match was better than ours from all points of view, mental and character as well as on a technical level, and their ability to counteract our partials, we played an inadequate match in terms of aggression and 'approach at the beginning of the match in the match and mediocre in choices and readings. We left some rebounds and gave away 8 free throws between the end of the second and third quarter, this type of indiscipline pays dearly, we absolutely have to improve in giving weight to the things we do on the pitch, this is my responsibility. The last three games played at home were more difficult offensively, but today we scored 90 points: so I think it's more about us relying less on extemporaneous things and being more mature.".
