First home win for Gulliver Supermercati Derthona in the Play-In Silver . On the fifth day that opened the second half of the second phase of the North-West Conference of the Serie B Interregionale , the bianconeri managed to get the upper hand on their third attempt in a sprint, unlike what had happened in the previous two against Spezia and Quarrata. The victory was 86-81 against Amen BC Servizi Arezzo , a team that, together with the lone leader Quarrata, had achieved the most victories in the first half of the season (3 out of 4).
It was a statement of great desire from Luca Ansaloni's boys. Below in the score for a very large part of the time, reaching -15 several times in the first half as a maximum deficit and never managing to get dangerously close to the Tuscans, the turning point occurs in the fourth period. Under the impetus of Baldi's initial baskets, followed by those of Tambwe, Conte and Farias, and of the defense returning to bite as per team DNA, Gulliver comes back and makes the first overtaking 4 minutes from the end, defending it with all its might. at the siren despite the attempts to recover from the Arezzo team, who surrendered when faced with a 31-16 score in the final ten minutes for the home team.
MVP performance for Gloris Tambwe, evidenced by the 31 rating, the combined 18 points of Baldi and Conte in the fourth period redeem them from a match so far without too many rings, the contribution of Diodati (shooting, in the archive photo) was surgical ) and Farias.
In the standings, the Bianconeri Lions still have hopes of making the playoffs for the National Serie B, reserved for the top two teams, with second place shared on 12 points with three other teams: Lucca, Gallarate and Spezia, the latter with a game in hand, 4 points behind Quarrata.
After Easter, the championship will resume with the direct away clash on Sunday 7 April at 18pm on the Spezia pitch.
