Playoff, coach Porcelli: “Very aggressive opponents, we are very concentrated”
RIVAROLO CANAVESE. At the end of the regular season with the promotions of Bea basket Chieri and Arona basket in group A and those of Kolbe Torino and Amatori Savigliano in B, the C Silver championship now gives space to the playoff in which the third classified of the two groups will face. Usac Rivarolo and the Piossasco Pro2020 Area with the last seat available for the category jump up for grabs.
It starts on Saturday 20 June, at the home of the Piossaschesi, who will thus have the opportunity to play the eventual beauty at home (the best of three games is played), with a two-ball at 6.45 pm. “We are ready to face this last obstacle that separates us from promotion,” says the coach of the Rivarolese Titto Porcelli who drives away bad thoughts after the bad defeat in the last championship in front of Bea basketball Chieri. «We were returning from the great expenditure of physical and nervous energy put on the field against Vercelli Rices and in that game that meant absolutely nothing for us we entered the field devoid of concentration – adds Porcelli -. These days despite the heat and high temperatures, the boys are training with commitment and seriousness. They are a splendid group and I am proud of them ».
But what are the characteristics of the Piossasco Pro 2020 Area that the biancoblù will have to face? «Our next opponents make up a team that has its best weapons in its physique and rhythm – continues Porcelli -. They are very aggressive and try not to make their opponents think. They commit a lot of fouls by exposing themselves to bonuses very soon and we will have to take advantage of that. In addition to this, we must also be good at not falling into their net and not letting the game slip into pure competitive spirit but playing being careful to stay calm and think ». “For the rest – concludes the coach of the rivarolesi – I simply told my parents that in these matches there is a bone in the middle of the field: those who are hungrier grab it”.
The second match, game 2, is scheduled for Saturday 27 June with a duo at 6 pm at the Polisportivo di Rivarolo gym.
