Tuesday 22 January 2019. I really wish right, in the faces of the boys Under 13 Elite, and there is the post you want to share the best in 2019, going to challenge the Route64Basketball Minerbio. But lack the way, due to an extremely prolonged period of training without reaching a double digit present, a key aspect in order to prepare better in training, and that inevitably has an impact on the performance of the team in the game. You could win, he wanted to win, but basketball is a sport from the consequential logic.
Such a pity, because the same intensity observed by 7 January onwards between Under 15 Silver, Debutant ed Eaglets, and rewarded by victories, It does not lead instead "pink scoresheet" to Under 13 Elite, even though the boys deserved. And there is already the specter of new absences in the next games, who even prevent it from going in ten scoresheet, about fifteen members of the group. In moments of difficulty we need to team, but it serves that there is a team to do it, and it is not a play on words. The improvements are built workout after workout, the game is the result.
The Head Coach Marco Pappalardo row in the first five Alessandro Alessandro Zanfanti, Luca Di Pace, Marco De Luca, Stefano Lelli e Pierfrancesco Pucci, suffer basket after about a minute, we struggle, ma Luca He responds jogging (2-2, a 7'50"). We know it will be a tough challenge, difficult, against an opponent in the same way thirsty for points. Low scores and toast contacts, its part of the game. We face two more baskets finishing under four, come into rotation gradually James Rocchi, max Frasca, Pietro Barbieri, e Samuel Sarti, we try to draw energy.
E' Sam unstuck in scoring the basket of -2, followed by Pierre realizing from six meters for equality at stake 6. We've taken, then. But you pay too many offensive rebounds granted, that give Minerbio two if not three shots per share. So off we again four lengths (10-6), punished for our mistakes. Jack reacts marking a 2+1 providential for -1 of the 10-9, but again we fall into the same mistakes and suffer other two baskets, this time without being able to pay off with the points the urge to react, and close below five, on the 14-9.
Second quarter with Filippo Garuti, max Frasca, Luca Di Pace, Pietro Barbieri e James Rocchi, ball immediate and Maxim marks from under the -3, then Luca discharge Jack the ball the -1, 14-13. A 8'33" fall But e Pierre, that sticks a free throw for -2. But in the next 6 'we suffer a break 6-0 (20-14). Timeout a 2'29", Pierre marks the basket of -4 a minute later, but not concretize the subsequent actions. A 30" interval the gap back to six points, a 11" But earns a double trip to infilandone bezel one, It ends on +5 per Route64, 22-17.
in the locker room, the words of Coach wants to instill positivity, We emphasize that we are in the game, we have to limit their offensive rebounds, we can and above all we want to win.. The boys come out loads, There are still 20 'to play and it's all to play. Minerbio once again scoring from under the +7, ma Pierre - the field with But, Sam, Marco e Luca - He responds with two baskets that are worth the -3, 24-21. The biancoblù still catching too many rebounds, but the defense of "Oranges" It forces them to err throws. But He retrieves a ball and is stopped with a foul, Marco splits in two the area with an inlet for the -1 (24-23) e Sam He is forcing his man to a breach of the field ...
Here we are, boys, one would scream ... But the voice remains strangled in his throat, because we can not take the extra step. Basketball outside and below, leveraging our two turnovers ... Minerbio it again +5, 28-23. Ok guys, tries to reassure them and at the same time shake the Coach in the timeout, there's still time, just seize the moment. He tries Jack with a "ciuff" from outside, but Route64 hitting from the outside and from below (sull'ennesimo offensive rebound) and back to +7, 32-25 and start all over again in the second half the time ... It does not matter, we try again. And we do it and joining in defense.
Twice we force opponents to waste 24" without the ball enters the retina or touch the iron, we try to gasarci, parents of our cheering from the stands, yell "The Vic-tus"... But it is not easy. Entry and free throw from an opponent and we slip in -10 (35-25 a 1'39") he tries But realizing a large canister incoming, e Steve fight like a lion in defense and, in attack, wins a rebound is worth gold and transforms it in the two points of -7, 36-29. We have already entered the final minute, When Luca tow uproariously an opponent, but a further fruit of the bounce attack +9 Minerbio (38-29), doing his part for the 16-12.
In the field But, Luca, Steve, Pietro e Jack for the last quarter, never mind the gap, We keep trying, even if the eye of the needle will become ever closer with each passing minute. But It launches toward the basket and was brought down, then captures a defensive rebound and again undergoes foul. in the other half of the field are still scores from outside, Steve He did everything he could to stop the most dangerous opponent, Luca puts on a free jumping in, Minerbio but you keep a safe distance. He returned Pierre, marks on offensive rebound and for a moment we are -8, 40-32. Sara Wire to bring us back below the double-digit entry (42-34) a few minutes later, but Route64 can riallungare.
They come to +12 the hosts on 46-34, But He responds with a single free, then Marco yet the mark of strength -10 a 3'10" (47-37), but despite the exit of some players for fouls, Minerbio manages to keep the momentum and increase the maximum benefit to the +16 of the 53-37 a 50" dalla fine... Chiudiamo a -14 (Persian, then, the difference baskets) on the 53-39, with the entry of the buzzer Maxim, who deserves the last applause. Like those who still deserve the boys. You can win or lose, but we want to put, intensity and grit. E, a step at a time, remain united and continue to work hard as a team, you will grow.
