There’s no tomorrow. If Titanes do not win this Monday, they will not have the possibility of once again retaining their champion crown of the Colombian Basketball League.
The Barranquilla quintet will be played, starting at 1:10 pm, at the Ginny Bay Coliseum in San Andrés, their classification to the grand final of the contest when they face the locals, Caribbean Storm.
The key between both teams is tied 2-2, so whoever manages to be the winner will face Cimarrones del Chocó, a team that achieved access to the final series by beating Motilones del Norte 3-1.
Those led by Tomás Díaz will have to bet on their best men, such as the Panamanian Ernesto Oglivie and the Puerto Rican Jonathan Rodríguez, as well as the experience of the Argentine Selem Safar and the Colombian Hansel Atencia.
The series began by winning the islanders, who prevailed 89-76. On that occasion, the locals took advantage of the notorious physical exhaustion that the champions brought and managed to take this commitment with full authority.
However, the Atlantis recovered and beat them twice in a row. First by 84-56 and then by 79-53, to take advantage of 2-1. Finally, last Saturday the hosts of the contest won 82-64 and took the definition until the fifth commitment.
The Barranquilla players want to go back to betting on their offense and change that weak image they left in the last match, in which in the first quarter they could only score 10 points, the lowest figure they have achieved in the current campaign of the local tournament.
Titanes will try to go out from the first minute to impose the conditions on the field of play and hope to take advantage of the experience they have to achieve the victory that will put them in their fifth consecutive final and continue fighting for the dream of the five-time championship.
Both teams, who had a day off, will have their final game this Monday, starting at 1:10 pm, seeking to achieve a place in the grand finale of this season of the Colombian Basketball League, where Cimarrones del Chocó , a quintet that eliminated Motilones del Norte, will arrive with several days of advantage against the rival that comes to touch, since their series already culminated last Saturday with a 3-1 in the aggregate result.
