The defeat by 23 points in the first leg in Es Castell forced the Quart to look for prowess to stay one more year in the EBA League. Àngel Aranda’s have shown character and self-love and they have come to believe in it when in the last quarter they have come to dominate by 15 pointsbut the Balearic team kept calm and kept the difference until the end to send the Girona team to the Copa Catalunya.
With such a large slab in his backpack, the Fourth had to focus on win every quarter and gradually close the gap to reach the final stretch with options to make the miracle come true. And the truth is that he took the first three periods, though by an insignificant margin that left a very adverse panorama before the last 10 minutes (52-48).
It was necessary to recover 20 points in the last period. Difficult, but in basketball, it’s not impossible. I Àngel Aranda’s players proved it with a partial 13 to 2 in 4 minutes (65-50). They already had half the work done, but the other part was surely the most difficult. And so it has been proven. Es Castell has recovered and with a small partial 5 to 0 it was already very difficult (65-55). The Girona team kept trying until the final whistle, but the Balearics knew how to play with the clock and ended up burying the local hopes from the free-throw line. The season ended with the bitterest victory but also with a good lesson in self-love.
