After the great performance in the derby against Sangiorgese and the Serie A audience, now the Piombino test arrives for Legnano, in Tuscany. The first leg match marked a heavy defeat for the Knights Legnanonot so much for the performance, but for the 99 points against the 90 scored.
Solbat Piombino also comes from a victory, the one against Borgomanero, the result of the performances of its two most important players. The Venucci-Eliantonio axis is always difficult to contain, as evidenced by the overall 45 points scored against Borgomanero. Venucci can use different weapons in attack, while Eliantonio can do the same near the basket, but also when shooting.
Two extremely complete players, capable of hitting opponents with great regularity and effectiveness. Suffice it to say that the long at the disposal of coach Friso is also the best 3-point shooter of the team, with a percentage that is close to 40%.
Another gun is Francesco Paolin. Almost 13 points per game and a very dangerous element inside the area. Between penetrations and jumpers from the media, Piombino’s guard forces his defender to be constantly attacked, in an attempt to limit his offensive arsenal.
The two outsiders who spend the most minutes on the parquet are Federico Tognacci and Saverio Mazzantini, thanks to their versatility and their ability to make themselves useful, you know as a change for the guards, and to support the longs.
Together with Giacomo Eliantonio, near the basket, is Niccolò Pistolesi. The long class 2000 alternates with Persico, even if the choices of coach Friso tend to move Eliantonio from 5 and to use some tactical changes as external.
In the first leg match, Camillo Bianchi was fundamental for Piombino, with a performance of 24 points and incredible shooting percentages. In the regular season he travels at just over 6 points on average, but underestimating him can be a very serious mistake.
Solbat Piombino has put pen to paper so far 20 points, like Libertas Livorno and Robur Varese, but if there is one aspect that characterizes all Piombino’s matches it is the desire to always sell leather at a very high price. In the Legnano house to report Casini complains of mild Achilles tendon pain. No particular problem for the other Knights
