D’Alessandro and Bugatti protagonists of the victories over Bernareggio and Ragusa Riso Scotti in search of the blitz in Palermo tomorrow, Covid stops Elachem

The second phase of the championship could not have started better for Pavia and Vigevano, both protagonists of large and convincing successes over Bernareggio and Ragusa, important bricks on the road to the playoffs. Di Bella’s team, however, cannot breathe because they are engaged in the first complicated Sicilian away match which tomorrow evening (7 pm) will see them descend on the parquet in Palermo, while the ducals will be at the window for the Covid cases found in the Sangiorgese.

D’Alessandro, 20’ al top

La clear victory for Riso Scotti over Bernareggio highlighted a Lorenzo D’Alessandro in a good grasp, especially in the first half. «The defense was decisive – says the big forward born in 1996 – We were solid and the numbers rewarded us. In the outriggers, in loose balls, in low post situations, the soul of the team was seen, because even when the Brianza players returned at the beginning of the third quarter, we immediately responded with important baskets ». From defense to attack, where five players from Pavia have gone in double figures. «The strength of a team can also be seen in this – underlines D’Alessandro – we do not depend on a single player and his vein, which is positive because we are able to involve everyone, getting something from each of us. It is clear that when one enters the rhythm on offense he also manages to give something more in defense, he gets excited and drags his teammates. There is a great desire on the part of all the players to give something, to participate, to help, a three-pointer from Apuzzo, for example, is an added value, like the super match played by Dessì. When our young players give us something more, they allow the team to make the leap in quality ». Pavia started off on the right foot in the clock phase and tomorrow will go to Palermo for the first of four trips to Sicily. «Pavia can play with everyone – D’Alessandro affirms – with Bernareggio we were not in top form and yet, in a challenge where we were underdogs, we played a good match. Palermo? We have to keep our heads on the piece, despite the difficulties of a long away match in the day. In midweek rounds, the mental aspect accounts for 50% of the game. We won’t be fresh, maybe we won’t even be lucid right away, but if we are focused, connected to the game, things will come by themselves. If we manage to stay focused we can go to any trip and do our duty ».

Bugatti does not forgive

He scored 24 points dragging Vigevano to victory against Ragusa on the first day of the second phase. Fabio Bugatti in his debut as a big forward, or “fake long”, given the absence of the owner Nicolò Gatti, was able to make up for the absence of his teammate and also of the other long-injured Raffaele Rosa, unleashing one of his best seasonal performances with the Elachem Vigevano shirt. Entered from the bench was Mvp from Vigevano and best scorer of the yellow and blue. «The absence of Gatti – says the player born in 1998 – makes itself felt and has led to a change in my role on the pitch. Against Ragusa we had a very good attitude in the first minutes of the third period when we turned up the intensity. We were good at always keeping at least 20 points ahead ».

Only in the middle of the third period Ragusa had a reaction approaching -17, but immediately the reaction of the yellow and blue arrived, which saw the contribution of Bugatti himself, who was fundamental to undermine the defense zone prepared by the Sicilians. «I found myself – he explains – playing in the defense spaces, without having the defenders’ hands on me. This allowed me to play both for myself and for my teammates ». Meanwhile, Vigevano enjoys an unexpected rest period during the week, since Wednesday’s match against Sangiorgese has been postponed, since the opponents have players who tested positive for covid 19. This week, the Vigevano basketball will have the opportunity to prepare the match against the second in the standings Agrigento, who on Sunday won in the siren against Fiorenzuola. “Agrigento – says Bugatti – is a strong and experienced team, with a quintet of players who have experience in Serie B. We have to face it by running a lot, but also trying to runre and to hold until the end “
