Travel more than insidious for Sibe Prato that Saturday 29 May at 7 pm she will be in Livorno to seek that victory against Don Bosco that could already lead her towards staying in GOLD and avoid the dangerous playout lottery. It will be possible to follow the match live on the Facebook page Pallacanestro Prato Dragons.
The Labronics, trained by coach Aprea, already an opponent of Prato when he sat on the Fucecchio pine, lead the classification of the Poule Salvezza with 6 points, the result of the convincing victories in Valdisieve and with Lucca and Montecatini on their parquet. Two defeats so far in the post season, to Montevarchi and Arezzo in the previous round. The Livorno roster is certainly among the youngest of all the GOLD and relies largely on elements recruited for its youth sector, in Italy and abroad, to which two very experienced elements have been added this season, both in the interior commercial, the 31-year-old Florentine Malfatti, with experiences in Serie B in Taranto, Piombino, Naples and Cecina, and the Livorno school Libertas, Fantoni, seen in Serie B in Cecina, and already an opponent of the woolen when he played in Empoli Basketball. The young people who also play in the Under 18 and 20 championship, are giving ample guarantees to the technical staff, with the Pisan Mazzantini summoned several times in the national teams, who like the Estonian Kuuba, (top scorer of the Labronics) can range in multiple roles . The Grosseto guard Ense also gives his contribution, settling on almost 10 points on average for lacing shoes, as well as the 18-year-old Onijaife and the Checinese Filippo Paoli, with his twin Matteo who acts mainly as a play. The contribution of Mori, decisive in the victories of Lucca and Montale, should not be underestimated.
And it is precisely the depth of the roster of the hosts that keeps the SIBE staff apprehensive, who hope to have all their elements available in an away game considered a turning point, both to give continuity to the good performances, with final victory in the last two meetings, but above all to put points in the farmhouse and be able to prepare the three remaining races with greater peace of mind. Also because then there will be no time to take a breath, since on Wednesday 2 June Montevarchi will arrive at the Toscanini by coach Paludi, and three days later the Dragons will visit Montecatini. In practice, in a week the SIBE will have to deal with three teams that currently lead the standings paired in Arezzo.
