It's Final Eight. Bertram Yachts Tortona dominates the direct clash in the important areas of Group A against Pallacanestro Trieste and in the Rovereto stage they secure the pass to the final phase in Naples at the second attempt. From 10 to 12 April, the boys coached by Luca Ansaloni will also be there in the tournament that will decide the winner of the 2022/23 edition of the Next Gen Cup, the Legabasket event reserved for the Under 19s. Excellence of the sixteen Serie A clubs. The young Bianconeri they ensured the mathematical certainty of entry into the fateful top four in the group standings with two rounds to spare and they did so with a dominated match against the Giuliani, who before the match shared second place with them in the company of Nutribullet Treviso . What made the difference was the 29-13 in the second quarter, with Bellinaso, Baldi and the rediscovered Ansevini digging the furrow, after Errica had already taken care of it at the start of the match (11 points in the initial ten minutes) and the activism within the two areas of Tandia to make the Tortona Lions take off better, making the +22 of the interval along a mountain too high for the opponents to climb, who never returned to the match.
Having booked their ticket to the PalaBarbuto in Naples, tomorrow's playoff against Treviso will give them a good chance of finishing second in the group behind the nearly unreachable Carpegna Prosciutto Papalini Pesaro, thus securing a less complicated matchup in the quarterfinals of the Final Eight. Tip-off against the Venetians will be at 13:30 PM, again at the PalaMarchetti in Treviso, with live streaming on www.legabasket.it and Eleven Sports.
