Too much Venice for Trieste, in Jesolo the giulians hold up 15 ‘
At Basket “In” Jesolo is solo Reyer Umana Venice in the match played against Trieste basketball: the team of Marco Legovich holds a blow to the Venetian battleship only for a quarter and a half, then yielding clearly in the score against the team of De Raffaele. Many difficulties in attack for the red and white, who close on the XX-XX with missing percentages from the perimeter and are expected tomorrow at 19.00 from the final for the third and fourth place against Nutribullet Trevisodefeat in the other semifinal of the day by Ge.Vi Napoli.
Ready, go and Venice immediately arms the hands from long distance (triple of Granger and Willis), already going to +8 with the tap-in of Brooks at 3 ‘. Trieste unlocks in attack with the winning penetration of Davis, but inertia is held by Reyer: Tessitori’s 2/2 in the line keeps the red and white away in the score (12-4), it still takes Davis (six points in as many minutes) to try to keep the giuliani, who however suffer the verve of Brooks ending provisionally at -10. Trieste sends the newcomer to the field Spencer immediately after (good defensive approach, already good at collecting a couple of blocks between the opening quarters), limiting the damage to the first siren at 18-12 for the Venetians.
In an early second period characterized by the triple from the angle of Spissothe reds and whites forced to chase in the score still build good actions in painted on the side of the parquet defended by Venice: the good serve by Davis with a subsequent dunk by Spencer and the triple scored by Deangeli Allows Basketball Trieste to keep up with Reyer in the 15 ‘(28-21, then 31-25 with Pacher’s strike). It also shows up Bartley with three free throws pocketed for the provisional -5, it is Willis who pushes the Giulians back again with five points in a row. The bad streak from the long distance (only 2/14), however, make the difference in the negative for the guests, with the fourth quarter ending to reward Venice: also Yes but puts five in quick succession, for the maximum lagoon advantage of the first twenty minutes right in the middle of the race (45-32).
The Umana widens the gap already at the beginning of the third quarter: the “bombs” of Spissu and Willis are a thorn in the side of Trieste, which instead continues to make a huge effort from 6 and 75. The +21 to 24 ‘ for Reyer (57-36) it sounds like a small condemnation for the Julians, who are already losing faith gradually, making a lot of mistakes even from the line of charity. A small white and red flash arrives on the board Davis-Gaines (8-0 break and provisional -15 at 2’38 ” from the third siren), he thinks about it then Weavers to convince everyone in painted for a Venetian counter-partial to close the period and virtually also the game with ten minutes still to play (67-44). With the match now on ice for Venice, for Trieste there is only the possibility of thinning the passive: the -16 arrives inspired by Bossi and Vildera (67-51), Gaines makes the gap less bitter with the triple at the end.
