A Gesam Gas e Luce Le Mura Lucca still incomplete, coach Andreoli had to do without the two Americans Wiese and Dietrick and kept at rest as a precaution Carlotta Gianolla, won the 6th “Carlo Lovari Trophy”, the first entirely to female, overcoming the Use Rosa Scotti by 64-55, deprived in turn of the American winger Didi Richards, in a small appetizer of what will be the Techfind Serie A1 2021-2022. The tournament, which actually opens the season of the wedge ball in Lucca, was organized by the “Friends of basketball-Luca Del Bono onlus” Association. After many months, and this is the best news of the evening, a part of the public, as we know the capacity is now only 35%, was able to return to the stands of the PalaTagliate. In the most prestigious scenario of Lucca basketball, with the proceeds of the evening devolved entirely to the associations “La Luna” and “Margherita and the others” that deal with women victims of violence, the two technicians were able to ascertain the state of the art of this embryonic phase of the season, with the workloads that have made themselves felt.
In the first of the four preseason tests (Virtus Bologna, Empoli again and Costa Masnaga the remaining opponents nda) Lucca has shown that it has assimilated Andreoli’s tactical plan and already denoting a certain reactivity. The amalgamation of this roster, completely renewed compared to last season, continues in the right direction. Even when Empoli in the third quarter seemed to have more in their engine, the red and white helped themselves on the parquet by mending the disadvantage and then placing the decisive sprint in the final period. Kaczmarczyk, Miccoli, Parmesani, Natali and Azzi in the control room was the starting five of Lucca; Williams, Ruffini, Ravelli, Baldelli and Rembiszewska the replica of Alessio Cioni.
To inaugurate the baskets of the Lucca building we think Baldelli with a triple while the first points of the hosts bear the signature of Elisabetta Azzi. Lucca begins to grind a fast game, also exploiting the dynamism and the ability to run in the open field of its interpreters. Miccoli, Parmesani and Gilli (13 points for her) allow Gesam Gas and Luce to put their heads ahead in the score. Advantage that also touches the +13 (23-10) at the start of the second quarter after the triple of the former Sesto San Giovanni and which causes the time out of Empoli. The Use, also taking advantage of the freshness of a longer bench, goes back to the score with a bomb from the former Ravelli and one from Baldelli. The three free throws sent on the scoresheet on the siren by Bocchetti, who will come out prematurely for having reached five fouls, send the teams to rest at 30-30. Upon returning from the changing rooms, the guests are the ones who get out of the blocks better. The triples of the usual Baldelli and Lucchesini are worth the momentary 38-34 but Lucca, with a very mobile Kaczmarczyk and already at ease with captain Miccoli, restores the balance. In the final ten minutes the decisive furrow is dug thanks to the precision of the Lucca arc. Still Frustaci, Miccoli and Gilli go to the scoresheet, as does Giulia Natali who appeared growing in the condition after the summer struggles with the national team.
“To be on 10 September with the loads of preparation on my legs, I must say that I saw a very intense game. Both us and Empoli did not spare ourselves. ” –Is the thought of Luca Andreoli- “I want to applaud the very young aggregates Leovino and Geremei who have given us a big hand in these first weeks of work. Overall they were satisfied with all the players: captain Miccoli brought great balance to the team, while Gilli, Parmesani, Frustaci and Natalli played with great aggression. Kaczmarczyk (awarded both as best player and best scorer of the evening) confirmed to be functional to our project. I want to spend a few words for Elisabetta Azzi and Sara Valentino; the first has proven to have excellent qualities and if she keeps this mental attitude against another type of opponents she will be able to take off great satisfactions. Valentino, born in 2005, let’s remember, brought a great rebounding vivacity. I think these two players are a source of pride for both Basket Le Mura and Le Mura Spring. “
