Napoli-Treviso 82-70: heavy ko for Menetti’s team
The Magic moment of Nutribullet Treviso. After eleven victories in twelve games, Menetti’s team collects a heavy knockoutin the house of the newly promoted Gevi Napoli. An evening generally to be forgotten for the biancobl, forced to chase throughout the match and betrayed by some key players: between a flood of turnovers and too many defensive errors, Treviso showed its best side, enhancing the qualities of the Neapolitan shooters who raged on the Venetian basket.
First misstep of the championship
Giordano Bortolani’s great evening was not enough (author of 23 points)
to Menetti to avoid a defeat resulting from a performance well below the potential of the Treviso team, which thus collects the first misstep in the championship and says goodbye to the top. Also thanks to the character of Naples that wins the first victory in Serie A since his return thanks to the performances of the former Parks, Velicka and Rich. The race is decided between the second and third quarters, with the string of losses that allows the Neapolitans to fly in double figures. Tvb’s comeback attempts have to deal with too many mistakes both in defense and in attack with Sims squandering high percentage shots twice for the possible -7.
A mix of mistakes and nervousness
The last ten minutes are a mix of errors and nervousness: Treviso collects three technicians in a row, Naples three unsportsmanlike in a row. But neither of the two teams manages to exploit the situation and the former Parks to put the bomb that closes the accounts. For Tvb a defeat that will also serve as a lesson, because next Sunday Sassari of the former Logan and Mekowulu arrives at Palaverde. A challenge that is anything but simple.
