Virtus and Trapani challenge for the top spot in the regular season

All in 40'. Virtus and Trapani are playing for first place at the end of the regular season and therefore the right to have the advantage of the home field advantage for all the playoffs, in the last challenge of the regular season. At 18.15:XNUMX in a Segafredo Arena already sold out, the formation of Dusko Ivanovic and that of an old acquaintance, but from the other side, <font style="vertical-align: inherit;" class="">Jasmine Repesa</font>, they face each other with the primacy at stake. Whoever wins takes on the burdens and honors, since the first place also means a possible crossover, in the event of the bogeyman passing the round Armani Milano, already fifth and that will cross paths with the fourth, in the possible semifinal round. Winning therefore gives the advantage of the home field advantage, but probably puts you in front of the big favorite, together with Virtus, for the tricolor. Trapani, Trento and Brescia have also shown that nothing is a given and that probably the contenders for a place in the final can very well be others. It is useless to do calculations therefore, better to enter the field and give your all. And to do so in today's match, live on Dazn, DMax and radio on Nettuno Bologna Uno, Ivanovic returns to have the full roster and can also recover Toko Shengelia, left in Bologna in last Sunday's challenge in Scafati. The only calculations that are currently being made at Virtus are those relating to the teams that will participate in the next Euroleague. Outside Berlin, which will participate in the Fiba Champions League, news is bouncing from Spain that Valencia, another team competing with Virtus for a place in the Euroleague, has also turned its gaze to the Champions League. All things considered, the Spanish club's decision would be a further step towards seeing the Black Vs also in the next Euroleague.

Returning to the challenge with Trapani, courses and recurrences, the two teams faced each other in the regular season on September 28th during the opening day, with Virtus winning 88-89. The game was directed by Attard, Giovannetti and Valleriani. Finally, here are the words of the black and white assistant coach Nenad Jakovljevic. "We face Trapani in the last game of the regular season, a match that needs no particular explanation or introduction. The Sicilians have many strong points and have shown so far that they can score in many ways. The numbers are confirming this: Trapani is first in points scored, 3-point percentages, but also in assists. The defensive approach will be fundamental from the tip-off; we will have to play as a team, an aspect that must represent our trademark, fight for every ball and believe in the strength of the team. We will play in front of our fans and their support must be an additional push".
