Friendly to get excited about Pergamino Básquet in Junín

A great game in his visit to Ciclista Juninense made the representative that our city will have in the Federal Tournament. He lost 88-86 against a rival of a higher category but from the collective he left very positive feelings for what is coming.

Pergamino Básquet had his first friendly engagement on Thursday night in search of his set-up to debut on Friday 26 in another edition of the Federal Basketball Tournament. The team led by Juan Manuel Gattone visited Ciclista Juninense and lost 88-86 (with partials of 19-12, 50-32, 74-64 and 88-86). In front he had a rival of a higher category (Argentine League) and who is preparing with aspirations of promotion to the National League. The representative of our city played at a good level and left very positive feelings from the collective thinking about his first official presentation.

While he continues with his preparation and meshing the pieces with the focus on the beginning of the Federal Tournament, Pergamino Básquet made his first friendly and showed a more than interesting version, knowing that it is a squad in formation and that it seeks to get ready.

Although the poor performance of the first half was not in the plans for Pergamino Básquet, who lost by 20 points and went to rest with an adverse difference of 18, from the third chapter on, the best proposal of the whole of our city was seen against a rival who put his Americans on the court.

He began to defend hard, he found his main scorers in Gandoy and Bolívar and with a good collective production he put only two points behind (86-84) with half a minute remaining for the end of the match. Even Gandoy managed to tie the game at 86, but on the last ball of the night Derrick Woods gave the homeowner the victory. The result is anecdotal for Pergamino Básquet, who did not travel to Junín to analyze the board but instead sought to play as equals to a rival with a higher budget of a higher category. The objective was met and the team begins to get more and more excited as the official competition approaches.
