Titan San Marino, Porcarelli coach ” Against Tolentino it could be a good test in view of the playoffs ”
Two matches at the end of the second phase and a fairly clear classification situation for the Titans. Macina and his teammates have 32 points and are in first place on par with Attila Porto Recanati, who, however, must recover a match in Jesi. Behind, at 30, there are Fossombrone And Montemarcianowith which our team have the advantage in direct clashes in the event of a two or three finish.
With these premises, one victory is enough for, therefore, second place. It is much more complicated to arrive first: it would be necessary to overcome Attila, given that in the absence of direct clashes the basket quotient at the moment is largely to the Marche. Tomorrow there Titan basketball will host Tolentino. Ball for two at 6 pm at Multieventi.
Coach Porcarelli, the trip to Ascoli showed good Titans, don’t you think?
“Ascoli lacked important players, it must be said, but they made our life difficult at the beginning and at the end. All in all, however, in the central part of the race we did well in the breakaway and then we checked. After a couple of competitions with a small roster, we are back to having a good number of players on the field and this has given us a hand “
Now you will have Tolentino at home …
“I think it can be a good test in view of the playoffs. It is true that there have been many important matches during the year, for example the one with Montemarciano in which we played for first place, but this is perhaps even more so. Important but not decisive. If we win, we will arrive at Easter certain of second place and without pressure. A bit of serenity in view of the final rush of the playoffs ”
Tolentino has one more important man. We are talking about Lautaro Fraga, Argentine play-guard born in 1992 who made his debut last week with 27 points in the victory with Young Basketball …
“Out of class player, complete. Deadly shooter from unloading, dribbling, in any situation. An added value that has 30 points in the hands. Difficult to stop him, it will be crucial to try to keep all the other Tolentino players at bay. In the first leg we had a bad approach and in the end we weren’t able to lose and contain them, ending up with 70-61. We will have to be good at building a good team defense and not lose focus during the match. Tolentino is fighting to avoid the playout and they will come here very fierce, we will have to play a good game to win it “
How are the Titans?
“Macina has yet to recover at 100% and it won’t be there, all the others are eligible”
