FLORENCE – The first defeat of the season for San Casciano Basket (Pizzeria Sottocasa) in Regional Division 3 comes against Pallacanestro Liberi e Forti, away and by just one point (71-70).
In the seventh match of the first round, the red and whites interrupted their positive streak that had been going on since the first double ball of the season.
“We played another point-to-point match – is the coach’s comment Davide Borghi – like most of those already played. Up until today it had always gone well, with 6 consecutive victories; However, we knew that it couldn’t last for who knows how much longer and in fact this time the last minute was fatal for us.”
“Certainly thanks to the home team – honors Liberi e Forti – who have always believed in us, making baskets with very high percentages”.
“Unfortunately for us – he reflects – the 70 points scored against a defense that was still “physical” and very closed in the area were not enough. There certainly remains the demerit on our part of not having been effective and attentive enough in defence, conceding too much. Defense was our strong point at the start of the season.”
But he is already looking ahead: “Now head and heart to do it again next Sunday, against Freccia Azzurra, in this last important match before the short Christmas break.”
