Wednesday 30 January 2019. They also got the Under 13 Elite, and after the "reaction of pride" with the Stars, It came the confirmation from another game proved impossible, the one with the Virtus. The return, But, the impossible becomes reality, and satisfaction is even double. Out of the question the idea of beating "from remember", but there was still that memory of going to improve, and it was made widely. This also represents a step forward for the group 2006 of INVICTUS Academy. Again counted, (with Greg to make the tenth on the bench), but with character.
He had specific goals in pregame, Marco Pappalardo. And his boys fell on the parquet Palasavena San Lazzaro with the right attitude, without looking at the results written on the board, but focusing solely on the demands of the Coach. So, the "Oranges" They are committed to the maximum of their forces back into speed on defense, close the area opposing the penetration at the cost of granting a shot from outside, tagliafuori do and go all out to rebound, and play wide attack, with the right spacing. E, mostly, believe it.
So, the record for once will go well beyond the numbers, because what mattered was another. Starting anyway just by the numbers, so then no more about it. Result of going 113 a 29, then -84; return result 26 a 80, then -54. A difference of 30 points between the two games, because of the absolute value of the group 2006 Virtus (that, to speak, also plays the FIP Championship Under 14 Elite and gives twenty-odd points to formations 2005), It means an enormous merit gained by our boys. They went into the field without fear, and this is already a victory.
I "numbers" we like to stress, are especially those demonstrated on the field. Beginning with max Frasca, who jumped on each bounce and attacked with conviction, despite big defenders twice ... To continue - in order of signatures - with Stefano Lelli (Its the first basket for us, after 7'44", for the 2-6), that from January onwards he has made tremendous strides, thanks to the dedication with which hears, trains and applies, Luca Di Pace (3/4 to for free 7-14, a 3'19"), e Alessandro Zanfanti that, he scored in the arrest and shooting 9-20 at the end of first quarter.
They arrived points in the second quarter (0-21 for the 9-41), but there were still some positive aspects, intensity, in the defense, in rebounds, in shooting choices, in short, the desire to try. So, the -15 arrived only 7'15" (9-24), the -20 exactly one minute later (9-29), and before allowing to Virtus to arrive +30, the "Oranges" they have forced (just so) Juventus to wait for five full minutes (9-39, a 1'15"), fighting for every ball, defending, with flash to capture a lot of stubble Pierfrancesco Pucci ...
From force in defense, the belief in attack. What triggers the serenity, inside. Marco De Luca, Samuel Sarti e James Rocchi attack the field, Pietro Barbieri sweeps away the fear of failure, flash for taking "Oranges": initial recovery and then the second of Stoppata Pierre, rebounds and recoveries Maxim, which marks the basket of 11-49 a 4'32", slingshots from six meters Pietro, entry Pierre, a free Sam and two Pierre, and the basket foul immediately 6" of Luca, for the partial 11-16 (!) that keeps us -37, 20-57. beneath 42, in the last 4 'and we reacted "we won" per 9-6! Step forward.
Targets achieved, but he continued to play until the end. With your head held high, exhausted, but savoring the satisfaction of having made a perhaps unexpected breakthrough, or perhaps rather not ... Virtus has started strong with a break 10-0, but "Oranges" They continued to fight for every ball, to take the right shots. counterattack after Pietro for unstuck (22-67, a 7'10"), two actions in speed Luca e But, assists beautiful Sam per Max and we are 24, and the 26" from the end Steve score the last basket, That of the 26-80. Applause, for all children.
