A new presentation of Racing basketball is coming, in this case in the 2022 Federal League. It will not be easy, but this team is used to fighting in the face of adversity. He already did it in the last Metropolitan League, and now it was his turn at the beginning of the Federal League. Despite that, in his first official appearances, he lived up to expectations. For the third date, the Racing basketball team will play against Pinocchio, starting at 9:00 p.m., at the Sports Center. Diego Monti and Florencia Benzer will arbitrate.
The longing for debut is over. Players now focus on the next engagement. After the victory on the first date by 80-60 against Obras, and the fall by the minimum and in the last ball by 68-70 in their visit to River, those led by Fernando Rosanova will have another tough match. But this time, in Avellaneda. The current rival, Pinocchio, is undefeated along with the Millionaire in the Center zone of the Buenos Aires-Metropolitan Division.
Pinocchio, one of the surprises of this sporting beginning, comes from beating Vélez 72-69 against Vélez and 77-51 against All Boys at his home in Villa Urquiza. With many boys leaving the club and with the figures of Marcos Sánchez Sopeña, an average of 23 points per game, and Luciano Guttelson, who averages 21 points per game, they were able to win two important games.
The Racing basketball team arrives at the game with good feelings
For their part, those from Avellaneda showed that they have what it takes to fight for the top positions in the table. With a great performance against the “Rockero”, with a difference of 20 points (80-60), and the dominance he had against the “Millionaire” for a large part of the game, Racing met expectations taking into account the sensitive casualties of Alejo Toledo and Fabricio Caamaño. However, this leaves the team in third position in the table and with the desire to cut the good streak of the rival on duty.
The Academy, which will be at home against Pinocchio and hasn’t lost at home between the Metro League and the Federal League for five games, will count on all its senior players for this duel. It is that Toledo, who had suffered a tear at the beginning of the preseason, is available to the coach. The ticket for Racing-Pinocchio will cost 200 pesos for Racing members, while for visitors it will be 500. It will be broadcast on the Basquetpass.tv platform. Racing basketball will play against Pinocchio for the third date.a.
