Everything resets. Another championship begins. Difficult, beautiful and compelling. The first place obtained by CAFFÈ TOSCANO PIELLE LIVORNO in the regular season is worth only a right (to play the possible fifth of each series within friendly walls) and nothing else. For the rest it will be necessary to leave heart and soul on the parquet, starting from the first act of the playoff quarter-finals (Sunday 5 May, ball at 6pm at Pala Macchia) which will see coach Marco Cardani’s team face Andrea Costa Imola, 8th place in group B but among the revelation teams.
Among the main offensive threats stand out the Lithuanian winger Lukas Aukstilkanis (averaging over 17 points per game with 53% from 2 and 46% from 3) and the former player, Gian Marco Drocker, 12 points every Sunday thanks to triples and baskets off the dribble. Also pay attention to the experience of Nuncio Corcelli and Alex Ranuzzi, the veterans available to coach Di Paolantonio, as well as the dominant presence in the squad of Riccardo Crespi (10 + 8 rebounds on average). A wealth of talents come off the bench, all capable of causing harm: Tommaso Marangoni, Lucio Martini, Gianmarco Sorrentino and Dejan Bresolin. 8-element rotation, with 6 above 20 minutes of use.
At Pielle’s house, two weeks of intense work on the parquet of the Fauglia sports center with full ranks. Rafael Addison, the best player in Piellina’s history, will be present at the sports hall, guest of the club for game 1 and game 2. Pala Macchia which is close to being sold out.
