The season of Betis Basketball It will last a couple more weeks… at least. In a campaign of mixed sensations, the classification for play off It is a fair reward for a team that made the locker room a bunker and that set out to grab that ninth place as a personal goal. No sooner said than done.
Wait in the playoffs for access to the Final Four (venue still to be determined) Students, leader for several days of the LEB Oro until injuries and extra-sports problems made him lose steam, although the Princess Cup title allows him to cross paths with the green and white despite finishing fourth in the regular phase. The collegiate team was the first Betic rival at the beginning of the second round, in Madrid, and The victory remained in the capital of Spain in an even duel resolved at the end (93-87).
It is the closest reference, since both teams have little similarity with respect to those they They faced each other in San Pablo on the third day (77-86) back in October, so we have to look at that meeting in Wizink at the end of January in which Frazier He still wore green and white before moving to the collegiate team, although he will not play against his former team having been cut by the Madrid club, as happens with Rakocevic. Much that there is not an ex involved.
Although there are a couple of players from Betic’s past. One of them, Johnny Dee, who already rose with the Heliopolitan team, is one of the cornerstones of Estudiantes, a player with points in his hands capable of making a difference in the blink of an eye. The other had a testimonial step, since Nzosa He was barely able to play last season when he arrived injured and spent the season in Seville recovering.
Along with Dee, another shooter like Francis Alonsoto which a thermometer such as Wintering –46 points have been scored against Betis in the two games–, which marks the collegiate step from the direction, and the interior presence of Larsen – any rival with a center with fundamentals and size has made things difficult for Bruno Savignani’s team – they lead a team with important pieces in the rotation such as Guillem Ferrando, Alex Murphy, Adams Sola or Leimanis.
This could be one of the keys to the tie, since the Verdiblanco coach has fewer resources on his bench, so the Faggiano, Polanco and Joaquín Rodríguez They must make the most of themselves in this tie that starts on next (21:00) in Magariños and will have its second stop on Sunday (12:00) on Wizink. Scratching a win in one of those two outings is the objective of a Betis that faces the crossing with its homework donesince ninth place, despite the money invested, is already a success due to the turbulent nature of the course and comes without pressure or the status of favorite, which makes it a Wolf with sheep’s skin.
And in this second round the improvement is more than evident. He started the second half of the championship with six wins and 11 losses, numbers that he has exchanged to finish the league with 17 wins and 17 setbacks – Estudiantes also signed 11 wins in the second round. It doesn’t hurt to have lost both league matches with a Estudiantes team that can face the duel with confidence, knowing, however, that the rival can give him a scare if his magical trio goes into a trance. It will be necessary, however, for the green and white defense to be at its best level as it has shown in the second round, in which he left the rival on duty at 75 points or less on nine occasionsincluding rivals from play off such as Valladolid, Lleida or Alicante. Of course, they conceded more than 85 points on five occasions (Gipuzkoa, San Pablo Burgos, Tizona, Leyma Coruña and Estudiantes), so reducing the offensive contribution of Pedro Rivero’s team will be one of the keys.
