The Deportivo San José club beat Olimpia King again (73-72), on Monday at the León Condou stadium, in the third game and with an indisputable 3-0 in the final series, they became champions of the National Basketball League by third consecutive edition.
Faced with a spectacular atmosphere in the sports center, the holy team managed to prevail in a heart-stopping game closure in what seemed like a fringed comeback.
The third quarter ended with a 10 point difference in favor of San José (59 to 49), but Olimpia King did not throw in the towel and began to gain ground. They tied it 70-70 with 1 minute and 14 seconds to go, but the albiceleste team scored 3 points and became unattainable for the fringed team, who missed incredible plays.
The first game of the final series had ended 70-69, while the second ended 75-73.
With his title, Deportivo San José reached 13 consecrations and becomes the current three-time champion of Paraguayan Basketball after having also won the 2019 and 2021 editions, considering that there was no league in 2020, due to the pandemic.
Olimpia Kings continues to be the most successful player in Paraguayan basketball with 34 titles, while San José reached Libertad with 13 consecrations.

The Paraguayan soccer player, Julio Enciso, made himself felt on social networks after adding his first minutes officially with the Brighton shirt; he played in the 3-2 loss to Crystal Palace in Premier League 2.
“Thank you my God for giving me this opportunity to add minutes. Thanks to all the people who sent me messages of support. Thank God it was just a blow, the wound did not open. We continue to learn and improve,” was the message left by the “Jewel” on her twitter account.
During the game against Crystal Palace, Julio ended up rolling on the pitch after suffering a foul from a rival player. In social networks they treated him as exaggerated, but what many do not know is that the contact was on his face, in the same area in which he had suffered the delicate injury after a clash with Luis Zárate, defender of Olimpia .
The youth squad from La Libertad was not called up by Brighton’s main team for Cristiano Ronaldo’s debut against Manchester United, a match that ended up being favorable for the “Seagulls”. For this reason, Enciso had to make his debut with the Sub 21 (Reserve).
The talented 18-year-old Paraguayan player arrived in England less than two months ago and is in the midst of adjusting to a new culture, a new language and more.
