Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Nov 10 (EFE) .- The Gran Canaria Basketball Club ended up passing the roll, against Mincidelice JL Bourg in Bresse, which during a good stretch of the clash flirted with the negative scoring record in the Eurocup (78 -49) against a yellow rival who knew how to show his most solvent version even with the losses of Oliver Stevic and Nico Brussino – both tested positive for coronavirus hours before – along with that of John Shurna -gastroenteritis-.
With this result, the yellow team is the leader of Group B with a balance of 3-1, standing out in the statistical section the American Dylan Ennis with his 19 points, 7 rebounds and 24 valuation.
Despite the absences, the Claretian team did not wrinkle at any time and already in the first bars it caused a devastating 14-0 at the start, despite the time-out requested by the French coach, Laurent Legname, to stop the bleeding.
In fact, it took the French team almost five minutes to score their first points, in this case with a shot by Maxime Courby from the personnel line (18-1). Faced with such a scenario, the Bourg en Bresse accelerated rotations to increase intensity, in an effort to wear down the islanders due to a lack of spare parts. But it was in vain, since a cyclone called Ennis was at ease both in the zone -5 rebounds- and in the perimeter -15 points in the first quarter-.
The French team continued to be denied in the face of the hoop. Only three points with a 0/12 in field goals and a meager 50% in free throws. A very discreet presentation sheet that forced him to take risks in the second quarter.
But it would be already, after 12 minutes played, when the first field goal of the visitors would arrive, after a launch of two by Eric Mika that led, curiously, to a 0-6 partial for his team and the first tactical stop by Porfi Fisac (23-11). But everything was a mirage since the? Granca? The gum stretched again, reaching even a score of difference (36-16).
The meeting continued in the same vein after the restart. The islanders, without great frills, kept setting the pace. The points of Kramer and Pustovyi put more land in between before the secarral that was drawn in the opposite ring, already surpassing the barrier of 30 points (55-23).
Already in the last quarter, Mincidelice managed to mask the defeat with the success of Chassang and Pierre Pelos, scoring in 10 minutes the same number of points as the entire first half. Meanwhile, Gran Canaria allowed themselves the luxury of making his youth squad debut Gerardo Pérez (3 points) with four minutes remaining.
