Bologna –
Three months ago it was Virtus to impose itself at Pala Lazzeri, 44-56, against Usa Scotti Rosa Empoli. Dojkic and Zandalasini dragged their teammates with a test of absolute level: that team was orphaned of Cinili and Turner, still in the WNBA, but managed to impose itself with a hammering 8-17 second part that addressed the match.
One round later, it is coach Lardo’s girls who welcome coach Cioni and his team to the Segafredo Arena. Bocchetti as top scorer (12.7 points for her) challenged by the American newcomer Jeune Aliyah, product of Life Center Academy, who showed up in Empoli with an average performance of 13 points. Still in the shade, but always to be feared, Narviciute: the Lithuanian forward has so far accumulated only 2.9 points in 16 minutes per game and several starts in the quintet, despite her experience. Better did Williams (9.8) and Rembiszewska (9.0) but that didn’t stop Scotti Rosa from occupying the last box in the league.
In fact, the just 57.3 points scored per game, thirteenth in the standings, don’t allow to balance the 71.5 conceded in defense that condemn the Tuscan team to be at the bottom of the league. Even the low percentage from three (25% and third last place in the standings) show once again the difficulties this team has in finding the way to the basket despite the arrival of Jeune, capable of scoring 26 in the defeat against Schio.
