“Being young, the team is destined to grow and improve in the second half of the championship.” At the beginning of the season it was one of the most popular phrases. And it also proved to be one of the most truthful: the confirmation, loud and clear, comes from the parquet. Da Rold Logistics Belluno, in the second round, changed gears compared to the first leg.
In fact, in the initial segment of the year, the rhinos collected 19 points in 13 games, with a slightly negative balance: 6 wins, 7 defeats. And eighth place in the ranking. In reality, even the Serie A3 Credem Banca championship, in its entirety, ended in eighth position, but taking into consideration only the second round, it emerges that the DRL had the fifth absolute roster: only Fano, Pineto, Macerata and Parma.
Yes, because in 2023 the Belluno players won 24 points: 5 more than in the first leg. And with 8 victories against 5 defeats. In short, the numbers leave no doubt: coach Gian Luca Colussi’s training has accelerated decisively and progressively. Testifying to a futuristic group with significant potential. Suffice it to say that, in about a month and a half, he allowed himself the luxury of knocking out three of the top four in the rankings: in strict chronological order, Abba Pineto (12 February: 3-2 at the Spes Arena), the Monge-Gerbaudo Savigliano (February 19: 3-1 in Piedmont) and the Med Store Tunit Macerata (April 2: 3-1 at the Spes Arena, in the final round of the regular season).
That’s why, despite not making it to the playoffs, around the Spes Arena you can breathe in the air of the future.
