Six wins in the last eight games and reach ninth place, the last one that gives access to the play offhas triggered the illusion in a Betis Basketball that already had forgotten the hardships of this season and the defeats in Cáceres, in extra time with Oviedo or against Clavijo that now they would be pure gold. It’s been so long since October that ninth place is selling like a success for a recently relegated player, but there is still a lot to fight to achieve this ambitious challenge.
Even now one can remember the setback in the first round against Tizona Burgos, rival tonight (20:30), when they lost 84-85 when they won 83-78 with 1.30 minutes left. The end of the match was poorly managed, like the day against Oviedo in which they fell into extra time that should not have been reached, or like against Fuenlabrada, with which they ended up suffering more than they should due to bad decisions. in the key moments of the end. It is one of the musts of Bruno Savignani and his team and against a rival like the former composer’s team Diego Ocamporevelation of the season confirmed for a long time and which is fourth with 16 victories (six more than the Heliopolitans), we must minimize errors to have options until the end. And only two rivals have beaten the Burgos team on their court, Lleida and the leader Leyma Coruña. The other nine home games were won by the second best attack in the league with 88.2 points average (at home it has passed 100 points on four occasions) and one of the squads that is best at offensive rebounding, another one owes to this Betis to improve.
However, it is undeniable that the version of the green and white team has improved. Not only because of what the results reflect, but also because of the sensations on the court of a team capable of raise your intensity in defense when necessary and with very well defined roles. The centers do not try to do strange things that they do not know, each player knows his limitations and exploits his strengths and the style of play is finally defined. The triple continues to be the main weapon, but you no longer live or die from beyond the 6.75 meter line, but there are alternatives with basket penetrations. Joaquín Rodríguez or Polanco and the appearance of Faggiano as a scorer.
Tizona only lost two of the 11 games played at home, against the leader Leyma Coruña and Lleida
Betis Baloncesto plays to the sound of these three, being able to add Cookie if they are successful in the outside shot or the inside shots if the ball reaches them in good condition near the rim. The starting quintet does damage, but when it comes to rotating the team, the team suffers from a lack of points. in the moments in which the aforementioned trio takes a breath on the bench. Enduring those moments without conceding big partials is key.
With these assets the Seville team will try to stand up to Diego Ocampo’s squad, which plays a fast basketball, with dynamic attacks in which the ball moves with sense, always looking for an advantage, not to pass for the sake of passing. The Galician coach distributes the minutes a lot so that his players can get the most out of themselves on the hardwood.
Stands out as top scorer Joe Cremoan American shooting guard who was already in LEB Plata last season with Tizona, the management of Didac Cuevasnow supported by the former Betic Caio Pacheco and the promise of Malaga Saint-Superyin addition to other important players such as the former ACB Jacobo Diaz, Ramon Vila, Arnau Parrado or the muscle they put in the painting Kieli y Thiam. A long staff committed to a project that has been reborn at the hands of Diego Ocampo. Maybe a mirror to look at yourself in the future.
