We win and lose together, team. If an exciting victory had arrived in Modena, by remounting -11, and at the Deserti a confirmation against Carpi, by remounting -13, the one suffered in Luzzara was a cold shower for our team Under 15 Gold. Not unexpected, to be honest, because the strength of the Eagles Basket Riva del Po was well known, results of the first two days and comments from the coaches who had faced them in hand. And in some ways, it was a return with his feet on the ground that can do well, as long as you come out of it with the right mentality, as it is absolutely essential to do.
As already highlighted to the boys by Coach Alessandro Gatti after the first two victories, the slow starts experienced both in Modena and with Carpi were a wake-up call, and in Luzzara we had confirmation of this. Sotto 10 a 0 on the way, this time our team was unable to recover, they tried in spurts, especially in the second quarter, only to then literally get confused in the third and get overwhelmed. This is why it will be necessary to return to the gym and give your best to improve, always putting the team first. We win and lose together, just.
The reaction came partly in the first period, managing to trace back to -6 on the 16-10, and especially in the second, just losing the partial 2 lengths, 20-18, ma trovandoci comunque sotto all'intervallo di 13 lengths. This time, But, ha prevalso l'intensità degli avversari, who returned to the field in the second half of the match ready to prevent our team from recovering, and indeed putting them under heavily in the third period (gap more than doubled, -27). The statistic that sums it all up was the difference in steals (5) and lost (26), just as we were overwhelmed on the rebound.
No drama, but even more conviction, determination and intensity for the next match, Sunday 5 November at 11.30 at the Palestra Deserti against Monte San Pietro.
Come on guys!
