Astros puts the Bees on the brink of elimination – El Sol de León

Leon, Guanajuato; October 30, 2021.- The León Bees are against the wall after losing 84-72 to the Jalisco Astros in game three of the semifinal series of the West Zone of the National Professional Basketball League.

The honey team had an unfortunate night at the Fair Dome with an inoperative defense and a very poor attack that remained below 40% effectiveness in field goals and not to mention the six triples made in 31 attempts.

For the Astros it was enough with a medium performance to turn the confrontation around and this Sunday they could finalize their pass to the conference final, something that of course the pupils of Spanish Pablo García will want to avoid at all costs.

The Bees went to halftime with the minimum advantage and even during the third period they were up by eight units, however, the visit led by Sergio Valdeolmillos began to plug in from a long distance and that was when the Leonese lost the compass.

Jonathan Machado’s triple gave the Astros four mattress points towards the final stretch of the third period, but there was still the rude failure of Gary McGhee under the board and the response of the American Jared Frame, in this way those of the pearl of the West they took off in the score.

For the fourth period, Jorge Gutiérrez with the laundry at speed made double digits a reality and although the Bees managed to get close to five, his awakening is not that he has disturbed the space quintet so much that he closed the duel with unfurled flags.

Ryan Pearson’s double-double with 22 points and 14 rebounds, or Mike Smith’s 14 points and seven boards, served the honeymooners little or nothing; on the other side, Jalisco had its best basket player in Frame with 24 points, followed by fellow Americans Jordan Loveridge with 17 and Blake Javion with 16.

There is no more for “El Enjambre”, is to win the fourth match to force a fifth and final in Guadalajara territory or say goodbye. The actions will begin at 8:00 p.m.
