Olimpia crushes Sassari and hits the championship final
[ad_1]
Slow fuel, controls for two quarters and then ends up almost one hundred, without obstacles and without hesitation: like a steamroller, Olimpia Milano asphalts Banco di Sardegna Sassari at home, closes the semifinal series without stories, thus hitting the third final consecutive Scudetto and wait for the winner of Bologna-Tortona to continue the march towards the coveted third star.
Five men in double figures for the “red shoes” led by a sparkling Napier to which are added the usual Voigtmann, a newfound Shields, a more continuous Melli (dominant under the planks) and a newfound Hall who finds the field again (in place of Pangos ) after three absences. The night in Sassari is sweet and bitter, seasoned with applause and a few whistles. Sweet for the tribute that a minute and a half from the siren coach Bucchi grants to Jack Devecchi who definitively lowers the flag after 811 appearances with the Sardinian tank top, he 38 years old who grew up in Milan, bitter because at home after trying to keep the opponent , collapses after 22 minutes of running and chasing.
It is precisely at the moment of the only advantage of the match (Bendzius from 3) on 42-41 that the inertia of the match definitively turns: Sassari barely puts his head forward and Armani cuts it off. A series of six consecutive shots beyond the arc digs the first robust gap, sanctioned by two triples from the hitherto silent Sardinian Datome. The lead at the third siren is 13 points, the gap grows minute by minute in the last quarter, so much so that 6′ from the end Messina pulls Napier away to give him breath and rest. Sassari is no longer standing, Milan adjusts the percentages, closes on plus 32 with a run of 52-19 (in 18′) and prepares for the third consecutive Scudetto final.
