Referees: TOSCANO (SI)?? (???)
Great ... beautiful, talented and successful (and also the Gentiles, I remember, even though today marks was not in the best form). Another result was that there was a bit 'on the crop, the quarter-finals of last year, was reversed on the ground certainly difficult Fides Montevarchi.
After starting a bit 'broken, in which during the attack you are unable to conclude that it is an action (because of the close knit defense montevarchina "sgam" quick setup is not too fanciful maneuver constantly doubling attack on John), the Libertas is reported below with the free throws and a better penetration of Giovanni di Simone. After the entry into a field Nazareno continues upswing "moves" a bit 'waters in the attack, as correctly noted by Mauro ... even the defense is more careful and Libertas takes a slight margin of advantage that will prove crucial later.
fact, if the first quarter ends on 9 to 16, are the next banner balance ... the second and third (our traditional Achilles' heel) are the prerogative of the hosts with scores of 16 - 14 and 22 to 19, while the fourth goes back to gialloblù for 10 to 11. The maximum distance between the two teams I think has never gone beyond the 9 points in favor of Libertas, the beginning of the second half and just before the 'strip' 11 points in favor of Fides that allow these 'Last to go ahead. However, reacts readily with James that Libertas is reported below. Following a 'call and response' between the two teams and is again Nazarene to 'steal the ball' and starting guard, break the deadlock. A further consolidate good penetration of James (so to speak) the advantage and go to the range libertassino long on 25 to 30.
The third time is traditionally a critical time for the Libertas and despite beginning with a beautiful basket of Julius smarcatissimo under the board of Fides, the tradition is denied even this time ... the company of elven archers of today Vicarello blunt arrows that can not penetrate the thick 'zone' opponent. It's up to others then keep the initiative in attack, especially James, Nazareth, John and Julie, fighting as usual and also very practical ... point to point until you fight a shot from three to eleven montevarchino closing time from 47 to 49.
The last quarter saw some 'nervousness spread among the masters home, but always close to the hooking Libertas continually frustrated by a determined and still able to stay focused despite the fatigue and tension. Perhaps this is why the pair arbitration is allowed in some more whistle, but ends up penalizing the very Libertas, with the release of Julius for 5 fouls, some of which are not exactly clear. The search for the intentional foul by the hosts in the final seconds ends up going a bit 'over the lines with a nasty foul on James version of suicide bombers, slightly blurring our joy for the good result achieved by our athletes at the end in a game compelling and hard fought, and on both sides.
The next event will see the Libertas defend the icy fortress behind leaders Synergy Via Pera ... a commitment prohibitive, perhaps ... but not for a team with the strength of character that Libertas has shown in recent matches. Meanwhile
good (and many) training!
