The second round in the LEB Oro It starts with everything to decide. At the bottom, no team is committed, at the top, direct promotion is in the cards and the fight to enter the play offobjective of Betis Basketballis open, although the green and white team will have to accelerate a lot to be able to fight for a goal that is now four wins away. The Sevillian team has left a lot behind and has too much ground to recover, although it is not impossible. Of course, as long as the ecosystem is conducive to it and for that we have to be looking at Mexico and Heliópolis, waiting for what happens to the owner, whose whereabouts are unknown and reported for fraudand if the Seville entity recovers the section to provide it with stability.
At the moment there is a tense tranquility and the squad has received their salary this month, a minimum guarantee for the players to give everything on the field. And everything will be necessary in the visit to the Movistar Estudiantes leader (12:30)which has barely lost three games so far this season, far from the 11 that those of Bruno Savignani despite the continuous changes in the player roster. It seems that the squad has settled on 13 players with one of the training slots being the necessary discard. Doménech and Hanzlik have been the last in the two victories that the Beticos have chained, the most recent against San Pablo Burgos (82-94) which should serve to boost the morale of the Sevillians and continue taking steps in their improvement.
The game model of this Betis is already clear. The triple is a way of life and with the quality pitchers he has, he has decided to give himself to them. On the other hand, he has no other possibility, since the interior players are defensive players with little capacity to be a reference and generate baskets on their own beyond the offensive rebounds they collect or some assists that leave them alone to score at will.
On the contrary, Frazier, Polanco, Joaquin Rodriguez and Kuksiks They make up a powerful outside battery that must be successful against the best defense in the league that only concedes a little more than 73 points per game, Estudiantes being one of the best in attack also with an average of 85.9. That is why it will be necessary for defensive work to provide help and not let a team play that with Wintering At the controls he is capable of taking the matches at very high rates and at an exchange of blows for which the Sevillian team is not prepared.
The American point guard from Estudiantes was a key player in the collegiate victory in San Pablo in the first round. His competence is key for a team with significant losses that loses its two best scorers, whom he has not counted on for some games now. In this sense, Michael Carrera remains suspended for addressing the referees in the locker room in the last defeat against Leyma Coruña, their rival in the Princess Cup, and Francis Alonso is injured. Without them there is a more collective game, with the former Beticos Johnny Dee and Nzosa gaining prominence alongside Alex Murphy.
Inside Pedro Rivero, former composer and coach of Estudiantes, has Larsen, in addition to the former ACB Sergio Rodriguez In the forward position, the youth players Adams Sola and Hugo López and a Guillem Ferrando who has come in strong to alleviate the losses and who in just two games has demonstrated his ability to be decisive in this category.
Two wins in a row for Betis Baloncesto and points to an improvement that seemed to be confirmed last week against San Pablo Burgos and that the Estudiantes leader will truly measure in Magariños, his fiefdom, where, curiously, he has suffered the three defeats he has accumulated in the season: 76-78 against Leyma Coruña, 91-92 against Valladolid and 76-87 against Oviedo. Estudiantes is not unbeatable and for this the key will be to stay in the match, to be alive until the end without those gaps in concentration that have cost wide sets against and to play it with a quality shot, in which Betis matches the Madrid team with the Frazier, Kuksiks, Polanco, Faggiano or Joaquín Rodríguez, although in the classification they are very separated.
