Spar Girona has regained its smile this evening after the disappointment of losing the Cup final against Perfumerías Avenida last Sunday. The victory (74-49) against Campus Promete, which has no history, opens a final straight of the regular league full of matches, until Girona closes it in Gernika on Tuesday 19 or Wednesday 20 April, before of a play-off that will start on the 24th. Without the injured Eldebrink and Gardner, and despite the fact that Mendy was added at the last minute due to an indisposition, the Uni in the first round he had managed to defeat Girona (68-46) in one of the worst performances of the team this season. The rhythm does not stop and on Sunday it will go through Fontajau l’Estudiantes, who will surely still be beaten by Uni who beat him in the Cup in the quarterfinals (89-41).
The hangover from the defeats is usually tough, at Uni, and more so with the list of casualties I had for today’s game. Yes, Girona have won, but the game has been quite thick, although it must also be said that the team has improved as the minutes have passed, and the Promete Campus has shrunk. The first quarter serves as an example of the initial thickness, which closed with a poor 10-6 partial, and which has been a festival of errors: 0/6 in triples, 4 lost balls, almost four minutes have had to pass to score the first basketball … Not that it has improved much in the second, but at least it has reached the break with a comfortable first advantage (31-21). Here is a 9-0 run from 17-17 to a 26-17 lead by Burke, and a 16-second Laia Flores triple that gave air when it looked like things were coming back to normal. deflate. On top of that, Burke took advantage of the fragility of the Promete Campus to put the United Ten Ten Points up (31-21) with two free throws, a significant difference from the level of play on display.
In case there was any doubt that Uni had the game on track, starting in the third quarter a partial 7-0 with Drammeh and Palau basketballs, and a triple by Onyenwere have shot Uni to a +17 (38 -21). Campus Promete had lived almost three times as long, and when it didn’t find them, Uni went to the scoreboard with very little. The rivals continued to lose balls and with this scenario the Uni did not find it difficult to stay with comfortable advantages. Araújo, for example, made a triple four minutes before the end of the half (46-28) which gave a maximum difference of 18 points. The same with which the period closed (55-37). If the game had little history, the last quarter was directly over, with Uni reaching 27 points (72-45) with a triple by Araújo at 2:31. Julbe was able to dose the players and the peaceful night spent in Fontajau closed with a victory of 25 points (74-49).
