Basketball/A2 – 27 Nov 2024
After four consecutive knockouts and two weeks of stoppage, Toro is looking for points
Il Toro starts again from Orzinuovi, in the heart of the province of Brescia. After the defeat in Avellino and the postponement of the home match with Cividale, Hdl Nardò Basket resumes the thread of the championship at the home of a team returning from a stormy summer (due to the transfer of the Treviglio sports title to Orzinuovi) and from a decent start of tournament. The Orceans have 12 points in the standings, the result of six victories against Cantù, Cento, Piacenza, Turin, Vigevano and Verona, they travel with 79.2 points on average and 81 points on average and last Sunday they lost in Rieti not without some regrets.
Mascio Orzinuovi Group has a roster which mixes experience and youth, talent and athleticism well, and which sees the former Torino player Luca Vencato in the control room (for him almost 7 assists per game), the American Gabe Devoe in the guard role (15.2 points average), leader of technique and charisma, in that of winger Cosimo Costi and the other former Torino player Simone Pepe. Jarvis Williams is the second US player, already with absolutely impressive numbers, 8.5 rebounds and 15.1 points on average. Tommaso Guariglia and Samuele Moretti alternate under the boards. Vencato’s alternative is the young Matteo Bogliardi, while Alessandro Bertini gives Devoe a chance to catch his breath. Another young man, Andrea Loro, completes the group available to coach Franco Ciani, an experienced leader and highly esteemed for his technical and human qualities.
Nardò is asked to reverse the negative trend (four defeats and bad signs on mental health). It won’t be easy, even if the two weeks without matches may have helped coach Dalmonte to regain some freshness and above all confidence in his team. The 8 points in the standings require a reaction, a response of character rather than technique. Don’t panic, however, even if the calendar is uphill with this match, the one against Rimini in Lecce and then the recovery with Cividale.
Mascio Orzinuovi-Hdl Nardò Basket Group, therefore, will be played on Sunday 30 November 2024 at the Palazzetto dello Sport in Orzinuovi (Brescia). Tap-off at 6pm. The referees appointed for the match are Duccio Maschio from Florence, Alberto Morassutti from Gradisca d’Isonzo (Gorizia), Matteo Roiaz from Muggia (Trieste).
The match, as always, will be visible in live streaming for subscribers on LNP Pass. Radio Centrale, however, will broadcast live on the radio www.radiocentrale.net.
