Basketball Promozione: Luiss wins suffering against Don Bosco Cinecittà

It was a difficult turn on the field at Don Bosco in Cinecittà for Luiss, but in the end the game ended with a positive 69-65. A match full of emotions that rewards the versatility of the team of coach Martino.

Our boys start uphill, immediately at a clear disadvantage against the taillight of the group. The defense suffered above all, repeatedly hit by the perimeter attack of the home team.

In the second quarter, Luiss begins to take measures and returns to the game quickly reducing the gap. The key is the different quintets proposed by coach Martino, who does not give points of reference to the opponents.

The second stage ends with our players still at a disadvantage and the approach to the third quarter is not the best: a partial negative moves Don Bosco away again. However, some important shots of De Franciscis allow Luiss to stay in touch.

The fourth period, then, is another story: the defensive intensity increases and heavy points arrive. The usual Balducci and Renzi gave the team the first advantage, with one minute to go. From there to the final horn, defence and management of possessions.

These are the words of the play-guard Negro: “It was a difficult and particular game. We came from a solid performance and we probably underestimated our opponents. However, it remains an important result, which consolidates our position in the standings, hoping that in the second phase of the championship our approach is different.

With this victory the points become 18, just 4 points less than Basket Roma Nord.

Next commitment Saturday, March 2 against Olimpia San Venanzio. Come on, guys!
