The Fortitude Bologna coach’s return Attilio Caja he goes 2 out of 2 at PalaDozza against the freshmen Freedom Livorno with a +21 (82-61) last Sunday in the thirteenth first leg of Serie A2 e Avellino with a +28 (92-64) yesterday in the recovery of the seventh. After the last four defeats in a row of the technical management Quote Cagnardithus consolidates itself in the play-in area and sees the play-off within reach. He averages 87 points scored and 62.5 conceded on average, in a championship that isn’t always as balanced as people say. Let’s not talk about how beautiful it is. The championship slayer was not born, but one more contender found in the lottery of promotion challenges for which he is currently applying as leader of the play-in semi-finalists. Piazza that beats Turin, who had just earned it in the postponement of the thirteenth in Piacenza, with the same points in the standings (12) as Orzinuovi who is one of the two play-in finalists and only 2 points away from seventh place in Forlì who direct qualification to the quarter-finals of the play-offs at the end of the regular season is valid, when the first team will be awarded direct promotion to Serie A.
In short, the championship recovers a protagonist and also a protagonist, because he made his seasonal debut Pietro Aradori with his first 7 points of 2024 – 2025 not memorable, but still healthy in a squad that this time distributed the individual spoils among four men in double figures and eleven out of twelve fielded, for a minute also the Under 19 Federico Ferrucci Morandi. Following this recovery, today, Friday 29 November, the preview of the fourteenth first leg of Cento-Ueb Cividale is already taking place, in which it will be seen who will be most ready to resume the march after the forced stop of the last round for the Fiba matches of some national teams who play in A2. Among these the ducal Lucio Redivowho scored a double with Argentina in the 2025 AmeriCup qualifiers. The advance will tell us if the Ferrara team, who are building their play-out ranking at home, will be more ready to restart than the coach’s team Stefano Pillastrini who has an open streak of eight straight hits. The first without the 42-year-old Carlo Delfino what brand does it visit, the seconds maybe without the 2000 Gabriele Miani bruised in the back against Fortitudo. So let’s get back to the protagonist of the one-two between last place of the championship and recovery.
Below is the result of last night’s recovery, Thursday 28 November, for the 7th matchday of the A2 Old Wild West 2024-2025 series, the ranking and the program for the next round.
