They did it again! They had won the next Gen Cup last year by starting a succession of exceptional results, including the final of the next Gen Cup of Belgrade and the Italian title of 19.
But the group that conquered the title Under 19 three years ago, led by Diego Garavaglia and Achille Lonati, continued to grind victories, nice competition, right attitude and also did it in Brescia. These finals were not easy to manage with a team that also plays the interregional B championship (where is it rather in the rankings) and with two elements of the quintet that returned from a transoceanical journey for the basketball without borders of San Francisco. In balance, the first obligation against Cremona turned out to be the most difficult.
The Olimpia has endured, but with difficulty. The first fall thwarted, the rest was less complicated. The final with Tortona denounced a single moment of difficulty when the olimpia was on 25-24 below after a big start. At that time he answered with a partial from 16-0 who shattered the opposite resistance. In the end the Olimpia resigned 87-68: the last basket of Diego Garavaglia, because it was successful both in the quarterfinals and in the semi-final.
The game
The Olimpia starts better, with Garavaglia (21 points and 4 rebounds) and Lonati (12 points and 6 rebounds) protagonists in painting with a series of individual games and the Jumper of Casella is worth 4-10. Also with the Center Suigo (20 points, 11 rebounds and 27 from Evaluation), Milan then touches the +10 but Allianz remains good in the game and effectively serves Cissè (16 points and 8 rebounds) twice in painting, before Bazan (24 points and 4 rebounds, 22 of Evaluatie) De Jumper of 11-14.
At the end of the fourth, however, Toffanin punishes Josovic’s mistakes with the bomb that returns to breathe the olimpia, which closes the 10 ‘initials on 11-17. Only the released Cissè then draws Tap-In and Bomb of -1 Tortona, but the centimeters of Van Elswyk and Suigo do not allow the opponent’s catch-up, although Bazan then signs the 19-21 bomb that keeps the Piedmontesese in contact. The Juventus number 16 alone then also places the jumper and free who, together with Di Meo, signs the inlet drawing on 25-24 against Suwo and his companions.
The return to the area of Garavaglia, anyway, immediately inspires a contra greak of 0-16, embellished by its two bombs and support for iron and also in the head of the outside Karem, author of the raids and free that of the red and white flies on +15. The snipers of Bazan and Bellinaso are thinking about stopping the bleeding for Allianz and starts a 2-11 container treak, closed by the Free of Farias (9 points, 7 assists and 15 rebounds, 23 of evaluation) of 36-42 at the end of the time.
After a DUMP by Ceccato for the +8 red and white at the start of the second half, Josovic in Cut and two bombs from a wild Bellinaso de Allianz bring closer at 45-49 against Suigo and his companions. Milan then returns to push Garavaglia and Lonati to punish the opponents in transition and to activate Youssef from the corner for the 0-11 break that the Olimpia runs at 45-60. Two beautiful Bazan initiatives unlock Tortona, Youssef and Farias then exchange beautiful games of three points and Cissè van de Lunette closes the third quarter with the free of 54-63 that report the Piedmontese under the double figure of disadvantage.
A beautiful turn of April and above all a few Bazan initiatives continues the climb to -2, when a Toffanin -head bomb and Lonati launches the margin in Olympia (61-69). After a blow and response between the Cissè and Suigo centers, Garavaglia are still worth a heavy triple and a tap-in from Lonati and a jumper from Suigo 64-79 when the target score is set to 87.
Despite Cissè with a tap-in and Josovic on the counterattack, the attempts of Bianceri Comeback, a bomb of Toffanin and Free and a recovery from Garavaglia, are worth the last 68-87.
