Victory for Bertram Derthona in the last friendly match of the preseason: the Lions, in front of their fans, scored the decisive break at the start of the last half to overcome Piacenza after thirty balanced minutes. The team trained by coach Ramondino is preparing for the semi-final of the Frecciarossa Supercoppa 2022 against Dinamo Banco di Sardegna Sassari scheduled for Wednesday 28 September at 18.00 pm at PalaLeonessa A2A in Brescia.
First period at a high pace at the PalaEnergica Paolo Ferraris: the two teams find great continuity in scoring and conclude the period with the same overall shooting percentage (68.8%, 11/16). Piacenza closes ahead 27-28 in the 10th minute. In the second quarter the match continues at the same high pace: Bertram overtakes in the opening minutes with a break of 10-2 and maintains the advantage until the interval (51-45).
Upon returning from the locker rooms, the match continued on the edge of balance, with Piacenza exploiting a high percentage of shots from outside first to shorten the gap and then to overtake. The period ended with baskets from Radošević and Skeens, who set the score at 71 all after 30'. In the last quarter the shooting percentages of both teams drop and Derthona, with clarity, wins 86-77.
Thus coach Marco Ramondino at the end of the race: “Today's match had a trend that reflects the trend of the last few weeks, with many ups and downs both from a technical point of view and in terms of energy. However, it was a good test to raise the level of competitiveness, giving a good distribution of minutes to the players: this is important both to have everyone involved and to make the athletes aware of their role. So playing a scrimmage of this level was useful.".
