It’s not the evening to put on warm linens. After two consecutive victories which regenerated confidence and renewed the credibility of the Insolac Box 87 as a serious candidate in the West Group, The green-red team turned black in Azpeitia, transmitting bad vibes. … Those of a team that, when it loses control of matches, feels extremely uncomfortable outside its comfort zone. With lax defenses it costs him dearly, he behaves badly. It was only in the first quarter that the Sevillians felt superior (14-24). Bielewho achieves extraordinary performances with few resources, pushed him down the slope which led him to defeat. The kind that hurts and invites reflection. Because the team did not find solutions at any time. He conceded 90 points and allowed Ierai Aizpitartea base of 1.80 meters and 25 years, established as one of the great revelations of the category, made it a costume of 27 points with six triples in a magical evening for this Iraurgi who took advantage of Córdoba’s second defeat to attack the management while leaving Caja 87 involved in the doubts of a scandal of this type. Dedovic He was ruled out again, but without him the Valladolid team, another contender, won.
What the Sevilla team must find out is why a game that started with Santos and Clarke scoring between two twin teams went so badly: with no three-pointers, their “littles” took advantage of the bigs’ blocks to score near the basket. Bilalovic scored the first triple with a Caja 87 who tried to close the rebound to go like lightning towards the opposing basket. The ISB of Biele, a team with a short rotation, plagued by injuries but very harmonious, with exceptional performances in the category, replicated it in the same mold. Like the one exhibited by the Sevillian Sergio Cecilia, imperial during two maneuvers which resulted in five points in a row (8-14). Firm and solid on both counts, very focused and playing very good options in attack, Caja 87 doubled the distance with Walter Junior leaning on the board (8-16) and practically scored points with each attack on the Azpeitian basket (14-21).
From an unsportsmanlike behavior from Olaizola to Franch, the leader exchanged two points and, thanks to the extra possession, Cabral made a free throw, increasing the lead to ten (14-24) to settle a first quarter according to the parameters he likes so much. And not so much for the points scored as for those conceded. If the defense works, this Caja 87 will be very difficult to defeat. Biele, extinguished by the good work of his rival, was looking for that spark which would ignite him and serve as a turning point. He was stubborn in the triple and it was Aizpitarte, his top scorer, who made a three plus one with an innocent foul from Clarke. Badjiat the post, cut even more (22-26) and Aizpitarte repeated from the same corner (25-28). It wasn’t that Biele had arrived at the game, it was that he was knocking on the door. And soon he would eliminate him based on defense, contact, stamina, points and quality. Everything I needed.
Basque return
Adrià Alonso was warned and stopped the game to readjust. The Franch-Clarke-Rakocevic trio It didn’t work and the Catalan technician dismantled it. Saints, on the pitch, like Bilalovic. None had any impact. Aizpitarte, who cannot float or shoot, was already resupplied. He is a very sharp stylist. He hit his third triple then assisted Sagna (30-28) in the middle of the Biele revolution, who put more speed and dizziness on the board, as well as a more effective defense to enrich this cocktail and equalize a match that Caja 87 seemed to have tamed. Nothing like that. Faced with the fluidity of Biele, the progressive blindness in the shooting of the Sevilla teampunished with two triples by Nazir Williams (38-32).
The partial of the second quarter, 26-11 (40-35), reflected the growth of the Gipuzkoans but also the marked bipolarity of a Caja 87 which needed to reorganize itself in the locker room and recover the plan of the first quarter, which it had lost. Biele led seven (44-37) in the return match while Insolac put itself back into the hands of Jankovic and his ability to hit the low post. A score of 0-5 revived the Sevillians, but also a good defense from Cecilia, who forced a foul in attack and brought her teammates off the bench. A necessary display of character as the match had become a fight between Jankovic and Sagna without Biele giving up his personality. Playing at full speed, running and with the triple, he completely dismantled Caja 87, lost after two Moncanut and Aizpitarte objectives (54-44) which completed a 10-0.

nothing to do
Another absence from Alonso as a remedy to heal his wounds, but the fact is that Aizpitarte was detached, his wrists burning, and Caja 87 had no antidote against him, neither the order nor the solidity necessary as a block to thwart the game of his rival.. Badji widened the gap again (65-51). In the middle of the green-red depression, the refereeing did not help either: in two minutes, two techniques, for Bilalovic and Adrià Alonso (68-51). Everything came down to a Caja 87 team that was overwhelmed and practically on the canvas with the last quarter remaining (70-53).
The difference in rebounding (36/22) and in evaluation (112/56) confirmed their performance. An abysmal distance. Shooting with pride but with individuality, without collective play and with the vague addition of Clarke (more shots than points) to improve his statistics and push the car, Caja 87 tried in the last quarter, but the defense had a lot of holes, and in this broken basketball, back and forth, so unstructured, it made the job even easier for a tranced Biele who was already tasting leadership. Four minutes from the end, 81-62 after Aizpitarte’s fifth triple; at 1.50, 85-64; and 1.10, 88-66. Iraurgi pushed until the last second to score at the buzzer, increasing his lead to +19 and completing a magnificent performance that eliminated Caja 87.
