Yes, it is true that derbies have a reputation for being not pretty matches and if very worked, but the truth is that this was not the case, although there were specific moments of rivalry that are logical, everything remained in anecdotal situations typical of the heat of the game.
Both sets were used to the full from the first moment, making the match very colorful for the very large public that led the stands of the Venta de Baños Pavilion, where both teams tried to impose their rhythm of play Basketball Venta de Baños Contenedores Castro became strong under the hoops, while CB Villamuriel exhibited physical effort with continuous defensive TRAPs in practically the entire court, leading to 18-18 at the end of this first quarter.
The second quarter was again a continuous change of advantages for both teams without any of them being able to take control of the game, only a few mistakes at the end of this quarter allowed the visiting team to gain a small advantage on the scoreboard, which allowed them to go to the locker room with SIX points ahead.
The start of the break brought new airs to the windows that put one more gear in this third quarter, with a great physical effort due to the low rotation imposed by the Basketball coach Venta de Baños Contenedores Castro in part imposed by the infirmary, and allowed them to recover the differences on the scoreboard and finish it ahead.
The visiting team was clear that if they wanted to win the game they would have to increase their defensive effort again and they went out on the court this last quarter ready for anything, and that’s how it was, Baloncesto Venta de Baños Contenedores Castro began to notice fatigue in the legs and several Players already with problems due to fatigue had to be changed hastily, this allowed the visiting team to gain a new advantage on the scoreboard that was impossible for Baloncesto Venta de Baños Contenedores Castro to recover despite reaching THREE points at the last minute. but in the attempt to come back, it allowed the visitors to widen the difference in the score that ended with 66 to 72.
