Basket City is back. Exactly twenty years after the last Scudetto - the number 15 brought home together with the Italian Cup and Euroleague with Messina on the bench to lead people like Ginobili, Rigaudeau, Jaric and Griffith just to name a few - Virtus returns to the roof of Italy . Under the vaults of the Segafredo Arena - placed in the middle of the city fair and seething with passion despite the reduced capacity due to Covid - the Black Vu cancels Olimpia and paints the perfect ending of a perfect play-off closed with zero defeats and three ' coats' consecutive with the 3-0 trimmed in Trento and Brindisi first and a round 4-0 to the favorite Milan, then. Annihilated at the Forum and in Emilia without too many compliments. In the last act of the match that gave Juventus the 16 / o tricolor of its history to Bologna,Djordjevic's team fixes the score on the scoreboard at 73 to 62, dragged by Pajola, the best under 22 in the league and by the pure class plays of Teodosic, Belinelli and Weems to weave precious solos on a choral score that has seen every player from Bologna - from captain Ricci to Alibegovic and Abass to the entire American squad - bring your own brick from game to game. Tightening the bolts of an impenetrable defense, so as to free, forward, all the creativity of champions like Teodosic, Markovic and Belinelli, once again on the shields. Determined to take advantage of the first of the four match-points available - immediately closing the 'practice-championship' without leaving the slightest space for a Milanese comeback - Bologna is forced to collect, at the start, the 'anger' of the Messina men who ,with Datome (10 points at the end) and Shields (16 points) - with the contribution of Cinciarini and Punter - they close the first quarter on 24 to 19. From then on, until the long break, it's all overtaking and counter-overtaking with the 'Olimpia to close at 43 to 41 to put her heart to ward off the bitter cup of defeat in four games. In the second half, the defenses dominate the third quarter (closed by a 'magic' from three by Teodosic sil 55-51 Virtus) before a last fraction. Marked on the parquet by the plays of Teodosic (10 points) and Markovic, of Weems (14 points), already sumptuous in race-three and Belinelli (15 points) - returned from America to savor the taste of victory behind home, he 'cinno'from San Giovanni in Persiceto Nba champion with San Antonio Spurs - the Virtus tricolor has the profile of Sasha Djordjevic, the first title of Italian champion as a coach after having won far and wide in Europe as a player and having led Serbia , which has always been a breeding ground for champions and champions. The Bolognese victory has its profile, with an impeccable mechanism tightened around the mantra 'Peace in the head and fire in the heart', developed at the right time just in the finishing straight of a difficult season in which Virtus seemed to have lost the road to success, swept away in the Italian Cup; canceled in race 3 of the Eurocup semifinal - after a clear path of only victories - by Unics Kazan who, in one stroke, had taken away theaccess to the final and return to the very noble Euroleague stage. Misses cost and not a little to 'Sale', almost endured - even exonerated in December after a defeat at home with Sassari and called back 'to the bench' within 24 hours - and given among the starters at the end of the season. Who has now won his game of chess with Maestro Messina. Winner in the Super Cup and the Italian Cup and just a stone's throw away from the Euroleague final.
