Bologna –
According to the Greek tragedy, adapting it to today’s standards, we could say that Virtus Segafredo is at the center of a real tragedy in the most archaic sense of the term. If, in fact, the series with Costa Masnaga has been the prologue, the introduction, the games against Venice could easily be placed in the central part, the episodes. Finally, there is the epilogue or exodus, the final act, against Schio.
As a matter of fact, there is not a great tradition against Vicenza, especially in the playoffs.
But that’s what Segafredo will be facing: a team with zero defeats in the regular season, but capable of showing some cracks and many fragilities in the post season. That’s why Gruda’s 15 points average goes down to 10 in the semifinal, with Laksa taking his place as first violin. This is the strength of Schio: an interchangeable mechanism that replaces the gears when they are under the weather. It remains an excellent team, trained in a precise and meticulous way that, in the Coppa Italia, showed to suffer Virtus. A lot will come from Dojkic’s recovery, we’ll see how, but the feeling is that of a player who will do everything to be there. It remains a final act of great charm for Segafredo that goes towards its destiny, having the chance to write on the book of its history, on a completely white page.
