Bologna –<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fifth Virtus Bologna semifinal in the last 5 seasons, at first glance it would seem a natural habitat for Virtus but it was not always so.<\/p>\n

This year’s is the 27th playoff semifinal since the playoffs were introduced in the 1976-77 season<\/strong>, with the first 2 editions preceded by a poule scudetto that Virtus overcame then yielding only in the final.<\/p>\n

Excluding the current one, we have been talking about the playoffs for 48 championships, 47<\/strong> of which have been completed with a sovereignty never taken for granted and concluded only at historic gusts, such as precisely that of the last five years.<\/p>\n

For a long time in fact, reaching the semifinals has been something of a taboo for the V Nere, considering that in the new millennium for 13 long years it has never been reached, although the 19\/20 season was interrupted by Covid with Segafredo first in the regular season<\/strong>. To see it again today on time can only bring pleasure, yet without forgetting the difficulty with which this road of redemption and resurrection was beaten.<\/p>\n

Of the 26 played on 14 occasions Virtus faced the semifinals with the court factor in its favor<\/strong>, not always, however, attributable to the passage of the round. A situation that to bring Segafredo back to the doorstep of the finals will cost hard work, sprinkled with physical and mental pitfalls, in a confrontation that will not be decided only by the catalog of feats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
