Facing the 2nd place in the class, with 26 points, behind Legnano first with 34 points, and the Juventus team, th -5 with 22 points. Coach Villa’s team traveled from the beginning of the championship to the highest level of group B, and if at the beginning it may be a surprise, that the experts do not consider it among the highest class, as Over Sa season, Treviglio proved to be a well-equipped, physical and talented team, deep and strong, able to play all their cards until the end. Rucker arrived at the big game after a convincing home win against Crema, in a match that lasted 15 minutes in which many Juventus players stood up, proving to many guns that the technical staff can count on trying to repeat, in terms of unity and character, the blitz of Legnano.
THE OPPOSITES
Treviglio has just returned from two consecutive defeats, at Capo d’Orlando and at home against Casale, the latter of which came with the opponent’s basket validated after time. Apart from the damage of the two points lost, therefore, the manner in which the victory was lost is also insulting. So it is clear that Treviglio will go to the friendly court with a strong desire for revenge, to regain a pink slip that was lost in two rounds.
Coach Daniele Aniello’s preview: “The strength of Treviglio is also shown in the numbers: it concedes only 70 points per game, which exceeds 83 in the attack. more will be the basis for the pursuit of victory. Treviglio’s strength is extensive, like all teams that play with order are able to put a lot of their players in rhythm. Offensive rebounds and the ability to play against rotations are two aspects where Treviglio is very strong this is a game where we see, on both sides, very important adaptations, whoever is able to impose them can have an advantage.
The preview of Alberto Cacace, Rucker winger: “I expect a convincing performance from the whole team, together with Crema we showed that we have a strong identity and we need to be mentally strong to have the same impact as Treviglio, against one of the two best teams in the group. Their quintet has great qualities, we must pay maximum attention to Marcius, who is very good at expressing his body and technique in his painting. Vecchiola and Abega have very good championship, but this is the whole Treviglio team with a lot of quality. We will try to impose our game, we must be good in defense and rebounding: maybe, whoever can manage the step better two points.
