Second match and second victory forU19 ofAllianz Derthonto at the first concentration of Varese of IBSA extension Next Gen Cup di Legabasket. After the Pall. Varese is the one to fall Vanoli Cremona, albeit in a completely different way than the success of the day before. If against the hosts there was a high-scoring performance, against the Cremonese at the PalaCampus the percentages and rhythms were polar opposites. So much so that just 61 points were enough to get ahead of their opponents, effectively securing the two points with the good start to the race. The +14 gained at the end of the first quarter and once again built as a team (8 players already scored points in the opening ten minutes), Luca Ansaloni's Bianconeri defended it in a practically constant manner until the end of the match, without real danger of undergo a comeback.
However, Vanoli always kept herself in the game, in the third quarter especially with the new automatic point rule under the opponent's foul bonus system which was exhausted after Allianz had quickly taken on penalties. The 4 fouls by Baldi and Tandia, combined with the initiatives of Vecchiola and a triple by Ivanovskis, had caused some apprehension with the 50-42 with 5'30" left in the match, but Conte's initiatives, Tandia's return to the pitch and Van Der Knapp's activism put things back on track, with Van Der Knapp himself scoring the basket with a triple making it 57-45 at -2'. Two triples in a row in the last minute from the usual Ivanovskis also brought Cremona to -4, but with only 4 seconds to play they proved to be a clearly late effort.
With the victory Allianz becomes one of the only two teams still undefeated in Group A together with EA7 Emporio Armani Milano, on the eve of the last day of the first stage in Varese, which will end for the Lions Wednesday at 13pm with the challenge to Virtus Emil Banca Bologna, a defeat and a victory in his record with the easy 94-56 against Academy Scafati Basket which equals the -23 (68-91) of the previous day against Milan.
