Tuesday 25 October 2022. Finally the debut, for the formation Under 20 dell'Atletico Basket. Reigning champion, but with a sharply lowered average age: without more i 2002 and with just two 2004, i "Reds" have entered a 2003 and two 2005 of INVICTUS Academy, a green line that is already a must for the Company today, but above all the way to grow in the future.
The beginning is complicated, to say the least. We can't close in defense on one against one of the landlords, going to help when we shouldn't and thus leaving open shots from the bow, that the opponents score in series by going on the run, so as to close the first quarter above 17, with the board showing a 32-15 very heavy...
but yet, we can react. The group is there, but in fact he has never even played a friendly match, having to deal with the Serie D season that started much earlier. We can stay there with our heads and legs, we finally start playing and make up the gap until -5 of the 45-40, with a positive partial from 25 a 13 which means a lot.
The expenditure of energy prevents us from making a comeback in the third quarter, once we get there we make so many mistakes, we don't seize the moment and at the third siren we find ourselves still below, yes winning the partial for 22 a 21, but recovering only one point of detachment, for a 66-62 which leaves a bad taste in our mouths for how things were turning out.
So we find ourselves playing a tight last quarter, after spending so much. We manage to overtake and take the lead, but I no longer had the energy and lucidity to close it. The final actions are unfortunately confusing, we put ourselves in a position to depend on factors that do not depend on us, one last foul not called costs us defeat for 74 a 73.
but yet, we saw something important: after having suffered 32 points in the first 10', we have only allowed them 42 in the remaining three quarters of the race, and looking at the attack we went by alone 15 points 58... This is why it is important to leave Anzola with your head held high, with the belief that you need to go back to the gym to train, to make up for it already from the next game.
