The first championship success for the team comes in the recovery of the second day Flats Service Fortitudo Bologna
which not without suffering exceeds 80-75 Mascio Orzinuovi Group coming back from a dangerous -10 in the third quarter
The difference was made by the turning point in the defensive half of the court
with only 7 points conceded in the last period after the almost negligible ease with which Ciani's team had found the way to the basket in the previous three
but last night's victory marks a first important jolt at least from an emotional point of view
coming out of an already rather delicate situation and against an opponent on the contrary with great confidence
Fantinelli 6.5: He is not yet the best Fantinelli
but he is a Fantinelli who is clearly improving since the Rimini shipwreck
especially in the control room (even 11 assists)
He holds the bar straight in moments of difficulty
he returns to impact in the low post especially when he is not paired with Vencato
one of the very few in the role with whom he cannot exploit the physical mismatch
Bolpin 6.5: The most lively along with Freeman at the start
after a light and dark start to the season
Min 5.5: A step back from the brilliant start to the season
Little involved in attack (just three shots from the field)
but good at not forcing his hand on an evening that had other protagonists
Gabriel 6.5: Sometimes too light and a bit swaying
often beyond the limits of forcing in attack (13 attempts from the arc)
but at the moment the F cannot do without him
The -3 bomb at the end of the third quarter is stuff for very few
in the last (finally) he really gets down to business on defense too
Freeman 8: He opens and closes the game with the attitude of the leader
who knows that this one just couldn't be lost
The stolen ball under the opponent's basket with the consequent 2+1 and a shout to the PalaDozza crowd is worth the tie and it's the moment in which Fortitudo really wins the game and
maybe turns the arrow of a very complicated start
but he always brings great intensity to the cause
in particular the 3 that close the game immediately after another missed triple taken in a hurry
rewarding Cagnardi's choice to have him on the court in the hot final
but he scores a three-pointer that can give him confidence and get his season started
Jordan 5.5: A missed cutout on Devoe leads to a basket and a foul
and for someone who is mainly on the court for defensive halfcourt
Battistini 5: At the moment he is a fish out of water
as demonstrated by the mere 6 minutes he was kept on the parquet
Cuisine ng: Not the easiest game to make an impact against Ciani's elusive long players
and in fact he only played a brief part in the second quarter

The accident occurred specifically in Orzinuovi
a search for an alibi can be generated in the players' heads even before playing it or an advantageous light-heartedness that leads them to try knowing that in the meantime they have nothing to lose: this team certainly has the ability to face emergencies with a mentality positive
Then it must be said that we have a good number of fighters
is the final consideration of coach Davide Villa upon our specific request
And on the evening when they captain Pint he is limited by the referee's whistles as well as by aches and pains
the "fighter" par excellence is Aristide Landi: for the 22 points as an absolute top scorer
but also for the ability from mid-third quarter to take custody of the feared Grant Basile (10 points
with 4/12 from the field and 2/7 from free throws) when for Urania Milano the foul emergency light also comes on in the long package
with already four paddles raised for Piunti and three for Lupusor (9 points
And which is also favored by the expert and careful direction of Bonacini (6 points
There are also double figures Potts (12) who above all has the merit of regaining his lost aim (4/13 from the field) in the last and decisive quarter and a Severini (10
including the very delicate triple of 67-57 in the 35th minute) who should above all be praised for his ability not to be discouraged by the result of the first round against Jorgensen to then win the other three: translated from boxing to basketball
10 points for Orzinuovi's play in the first 10 minutes and
"only" another 10 in the subsequent fractions for a still excellent fan who he is the top scorer of his team
drawn from the bottom of the bench always in the name of the contingent situation and capable of putting together 5 points and 3 rebounds in 15': coach Davide Villa has honestly and clearly illustrated the position of the class of 2003 within the roster several times
but being found ready every time is a quality that perhaps should be rewarded even outside of the art of making a virtue of emergency
Vencato grew up playing basketball in the youth sector of Assigeco Casalpusterlengo where
Luca wore the jersey of Casalpusterlengo until the 2015/16 season
with numbers in constant and progressive growth
Vencato moved to Mantova (always in Serie A2)
where he averaged 8 points and 4 assists overall
Luca made the transition to Ferrara (always in the second national championship)
where he remained for three consecutive seasons collecting 7 points and 4.5 assists on average
the twenty-nine years old he averaged 10,5 points and 6 assists per game
in the first four months of the current sports season
4,5 rebounds and 6,9 assists in the 16 games played with the Lombard team
Vencato, who already yesterday he trained with the team, like the returning Cusin, he will be on the pitch on Sunday 29 December Vitrifrigo Arena in Pesaro (live on Rai 2) for the comparison that closes the 2024 of the blue and white.
Born in Brescia on May 31, 1995, a 194 centimeter playmaker, Vencato grew up in the youth teams of Assigeco Casalpusterlengo where, in 2011/12, he made his senior debut. Vencato wore the Casalpusterlengo jersey until 2016, with numbers in constant and progressive growth. In the following three seasons he moved to Mantova, then in the summer of 2019 the move to Ferrara, always in A2, where he remained for another 3 years collecting 7 points and 4,5 assists on average.
In the summer of 2022, Vencato moved to Turin where he remained for 2 years. In 2023/24, with the Piedmontese team, he collected an average of 10,5 points and 6 assists distributed per game. In the first four months of this season Vencato wore the Orzinuovi jersey, maintaining an average of 7,3 points, 4,5 rebounds and 6,9 assists in 16 games.
The twenty-nine-year-old from Brescia will bring to Fortitudo his physical qualities, experience, excellent readings on both halves of the field and the qualities of an excellent team player. Vencato, who already trained with the team yesterday, will already be on the field on Sunday at the Vitrifrigo Arena in Pesaro, when Caja's team will be on the scene for a historic and exciting challenge.
Finally, on the Pesaro front, we must record the absence of Salvatore Parrillo, who underwent surgery in recent days due to the persistence of a lumbosciatica that had struck him and had given him no respite.
