The Igea Sant'Antimo hit the neutral ground of the Ariano Irpino Bartoli Fossombrone and succeeds in reversing a series of playout who had seen her at a disadvantage for 0 to 2. Ends 69 to 68 for the red and white, but to win the decisive Game 5 Ponticiello's the band had to defeat an opponent, Fossombrone, who had the great merit of never giving up. The match was a grueling war of nerves, a real roller coaster of emotions, which are alternating moods opposites, but still share the perception that to make a difference in the field would have been the team's skill to master fears and tensions. Sant'Antimo wins in the end for the greater capacity to deliver clear and meaningful comparison lashes, that first half of the 2nd quarter brought it to full advantage, 29 to 20 that seemed to prelude to a monologue of the kind tumbler in Game 3, after the start of the 3rd quarter and had Dalfin and brought members up to 64 to 56 who seemed to have closed the accounts. But in both cases Fossombrone did not let go for nothing, at the end of the 2nd quarter reversing the situation (31 - 36), then go very close to a sensational recovery even in the endgame, when, above all thanks to rivals, the author of only two triples in 28 games the previous season, but even 3 centers of 3 consecutive points in the last 120 "of Game 5, almost all recovered and had the disadvantage to the edge of the siren the occasion, with Doati, from firing the shot to success.
"Reversing the series by a 0-2, which, especially on an emotional level, it could be a lid on our grave reasons it has been a real business - Ponticiello coach said after the game - I would not be wrong, but I think in Italy there is only one previous similar, what could Ettore Messina, the Benetton Treviso in the playoffs in 2003. Even then Reggio won 2 to 0, but then Treviso managed to turn in her favor and close to the series 3 to 2, but Treviso was a team that had dominated the regular season, who later won the championship, came up to the finals of Euroleague. Instead, we were coming dall'atroce mockery of 'exclusion detached from the playoff standings. It was therefore not at all easy reverse this 0-2, it was assumed that he knew a young team react to the shock of an exclusion from the playoff experience for two undeserved defeats in overtime, it was hard to face the mammoth series of accidents since last physical September crossed, or rather devastated, our season. Our state of mind at the moment is comparable to that of Captain Willard in Apocalypse Now at the end of his journey, when, after going through all the Nung River, having traveled back across Cambodia, Kurtz finally could look into his eyes, and through these make sense of his trip. " The technician makes Neapolitan
dutifully about his players and so is the opponent, as well as the referees of the 5 games of the series:
"I am proud of my players, I have always been, even after defeats like those burning home with power and Siena . We had to live a frustrating situation, not on our part that there was a minima colpa, coinvolti in polemiche che non ci riguardavano. Malgrado i nostri sforzi, siamo stati considerati come abusivi in zona playoff e poi esclusi per nostre colpe, ma anche per circostanze irripetibili e sfortunate; credo che a questi ragazzi debba essere dato il pieno merito di aver sempre onorato la maglia che indossavano. Così pure credo che vada dato atto a Riccardo Paolini ed ai suoi ragazzi di aver combattutto strenuamente, di averci reso la vita difficilissima ed essere stati un avversario duro e corretto. Meritano tutto il nostro rispetto ed a loro così come a Matera va un grosso in bocca al lupo per la seconda serie. Un ultimo pensiero lo dedico ai dieci arbitri che hanno diretto le combattutissime partite della serie, va dato atto a tutti, anche e soprattutto a quelli che hanno dovuto fronteggiare la delicata situazione che si era determinata sul finale di gara 2, di aver sempre agito nella totale onestà mentale e grande professionalità. Dal loro grande senso di responsabilità tutti dovremmo ricavare utili insegnamenti”.
