Lavrio – Treviso 78-90: defeat – disqualification from continuing the Basketball Champions League

Treviso’s obstacle proved inaccessible to Lavrio, who was defeated by the Italian team for the second time in a few days (90-78) and bid farewell to Europe for the year. The players of Christos Serelis fought from the first to the last minute, they never threw a clean towel, but the guests proved their superiority and managed to qualify for the “16”. Basketball Champions League.

That completed Lavrio’s European course for 2021/22, with the Blue and Yellows only concentrating on what’s happening within the borders, namely the Stoiximan Basket League.

The race

Lavrio took the lead in the first few minutes (10-5 in 4′) but very quickly saw Treviso hit the accelerator and escaped. The Italians scored again and again from 6:75 minutes, which allowed them to “build” the +10 (12-22) in the 9th minute, a lead that was questioned by Christos Serelis’ players.

From the moment they checked the defensive rebound and Petros Geromichalos took points, the hosts recovered and reduced the point (23-24 in 13′) before an offensive problem arose until the final of part one. So much so that Treviso once again found the opportunity to step on the gas and go into the dressing room with +7 (32:39) on bail, while Lavrio shot poorly from two points (7/22).

The third quarter didn’t start well for Lavrio, who was chasing double-digit differences very quickly. The visitors’ +14 (38-52) in the 24th minute finally put them on a favorite position in the game, which they secured with good percentages. Despite the fact that Christos Serelis’ players were able to equalize the deficit to half (55:62) in the 30th minute, it remained extremely difficult.

Vassilis Mouratos took a step forward, took initiatives but nothing was enough for Lavrio. Treviso’s superb teamwork and the action of Thomas Dimsa – Matteo Imbro – DeWain Russell judged everything, with the Italian team winning for the second time in a week and earning a ticket to the “16” of the Basketball Champions League.
