When John F. Kennedy was elected president of the United States, delivered one of the most remembered inaugural addresses in American political history. It was January 1961 and the country’s economy was not at its best. Only the work and determination of the citizens could move them forward; their words would therefore need to address the collective effort that needed to be made, the responsibility of each individual to contribute to the recovery of a society in difficult times. After a brief but direct speech, Kennedy’s statement was clear: «Do not ask what your country can do for you; “Ask what you can do for your country.”. I’m wondering the same thing now that LEB Oro is finally back. This Friday we open the season at home against newly promoted Rioverde Clavijo, just as we did ten years ago in three overtimes against the Rioja team that left us with a first. Heart attack match in Pedro Ferrándiz.
HLA Alicante comes for an appointment Completely renewed from top to bottom: new staff, new coach, new sporting director and new president of the club. There was great expectation to see everything this new team could do for us and Pedro Rivero’s presentation match against Movistar Estudiantes did not disappoint. Technology Center once again joins the e partyRodríguez’s confidence, Harris’ speed, Gudmundsson’s success, Barro’s power, Kostadinov’s magic. While Gatell smiled and showed his captain’s leadership, guiding the celebration on the hardwood floor, new coach Antonio Pérez Caínzos took the pulse of the locker room and faced the student team’s dream team, the favorites to be promoted this year. Lucentum’s introductory letter was flawless, so in Kennedy’s terms we got a good taste of what our team can do for us in this league that is now starting.
The plan is nothing more than getting points from the first day by beating Clavijo at home and for this HLA Alicante needs us in the stands. It’s time to ask ourselves what we can do for Lucentum. The answer is obvious: Subscribe and cheer on every sporting event.
JFK concluded his inaugural address with these words: “Finally, whether you are a citizen of the United States or a citizen of the world, demand from us the same generosity of strength and sacrifice that we ask of you.” Same from Lucentum fans We will demand from Pérez Caínzos’ men the same strength and sacrifice that we would give them every week.Let them bring back to us in the pavilion the joy and pleasure in which we love basketball, which gave us such wonderful emotions last Saturday. Because three extra seasons against Clavijo resulted in promotion to the ACB and this would be the end of every Lucientino’s dreams. But we are going step by step, game by game. Lucentinas and Lucentinos, fasten your seatbelts, LEB Oro 2023 – 2024 starts now and promises matches against Clavijo.
