“Better today than on a playoff day,” the optimists will think. “If we don’t have a team at all,” the pessimists will say. Certainly basketball is a game of statistics and statistics are not usually misleading. Few thought that in the trajectory that Guuk Gipuzkoa Basket had, with serious basketball, with victories of merit and with the top scorer in the league in its ranks; it was almost impossible to lose in Almansa. Place where the Alcarreño team survives, which, until this Saturday, had seven wins less than the GBC. ALMANSA 97 Díaz (11), Aranitovic (21), Sturup (5), Fernández (7) and Ogunsipe (17) -starting five- Karaninas (3), Biviá (3), Costa (11), Menéndez (10) and Martínez (9) T1:13/18 T2:24/42 T3:12/21 REB:33 ASIS:21 ROB:4 LOST:14 GUUK GBC 76 Oroz (3), Jaworski (7), Sollazzo (10), Beraza (11) and Nurger (21) – starting five- Zubizarreta (14), Martínez (10), Delas (3), Duke (0) and De la Hera (0) T1:16/19 T2:21/40 T3: 6/31 REB:31 ASIS:21 ROB:9 LOSS:8 Partials: 18-20, 44-23 (rest) #66-52 and 97-76 (final) Referees: López Herrada, González and Palanca. No deleted. Incidents: Match played in the Almansa sports hall corresponding to the 31st day of the LEB Oro. However, two testimonies by Lolo Encinas alerted the most suspicious. “I have good news and bad news,” he said in relation to the fact that he recovered Beraza for the game but lost Carlson. And another, when he remembered that Almansa had just beaten Alicante and Andorra. He can already say that he has a trio, after also defeating Gipuzkoa Basket. Fully deserved. We will not remember those who are not there because with casualties the Encinas team defeated Lleida, Burgos and a festival was held in Melilla. The bulky defeat was the classic slap. Of those that are in all seasons. But it is a result that tarnishes the progress of those from San Sebastian who looked up and may now have to take a look in the rear-view mirror. You can lose, yes. For less, too. And on a horrible day in the triple, the GBC did not defend well, they did not muddy the game because they do not have enough rotation to do it, nor did they find other ways to score. Jaworski The worst game of the year for the shark, with only seven points and one of nine on three-pointers We thought that Gipuzkoa Basket attacked in the first half at the basket that had the smallest ring. Unfortunately this was not the case, the diameter of both rings was the same. The Encinas players had the wrist frozen in the first twenty minutes. And that the first shot from beyond 6.75 by Xabi Beraza made it 4-7 (min. 3). At least in the first quarter, the Gipuzkoan team was not bad. He finished with one of six in the three-pointer – quite a premonition of what would come next – but he moved the ball well, controlled the rebound and went ahead in the first quarter, 18-20 (min. 10). The first notice came in the first minutes of the second when the GBC only made one basket in play in the first four minutes and Almansa hit two three-pointers and other simple baskets to open the gap, 30-23 (min. 14). And sadly until there. Because in the remaining 26 minutes the Gipuzkoan squad was unable to drop below seven points. Quite the opposite. First differences They controlled the difference until a triple by Kararinas, 41-31 (min. 19), Jaworski’s second basket came but the GBC went eleven down at halftime and with a series of 1 of 14 from the triple. You already know, you don’t have to be calm because at any moment you can understand the wick. But Guuk Gipuzkoa Basket had left his lighter on the bus. He had no fire to light the fireworks of the comeback. If the first triple of the GBC was from Beraza, the Errenteriarra scored the first basket in play after the restart. And they painted coarse, 53-37 (min. 24) and a triple by Aranitovic put the maximum, 58-37 (min. 26). The GBC were chasing shadows and all their shots hit the rim. Without getting in from the outside, we had to try from the inside. Nurger scored six points and a three-pointer finally arrived, the work of Ander Martínez, and a basket from Sollazzo. 63-47 (min. 28). A five-point rush with a basket from Ander and two plus one from Zubizarreta with the clock at zero opened the window of hope, 66-52 before the start of the last quarter. You already notice that you haven’t read much by Jaworski. The shark signed his worst game of the year. And it’s not that he was defended in a brutal way. He didn’t have the day, just like that. One of nine on triples and only seven points to his credit. He did not go to the personal line. Still, at the start of the fourth quarter there was hope. Sollazzo got up from three, which would have been to get to eleven. Iron. And from there the Almansa stretched with two triples from Edu Martínez, plus Ogunsipe and Aranitovic so that there would be a festival in the town of Albacete. Let’s hope that next week Oviedo pays the piper and that Encinas recovers troops. Juaristi-Burgos, this Sunday This Sunday (6:00 p.m., LaLiga SportsTV) could be one of those great days that will be remembered for years. Visit the Azpeitia sports center to the almighty Burgos, a team made from a checkbook to ascend to the ACB, where it has been a classic in recent years, as well as in the European competition. However, Juaristi plans to stand up to him and has the possibility of getting out of relegation. Oviedo’s defeat this Saturday gives Mikel Odriozola’s squad a chance to play for the last three league games. He knows that he is going to have to do a lot of things right to stop Rupnik, Mahlabasic, Barrera, Van Zegerem and company. However, Juaristi fans know that wonderful things can happen on the Azpeitiarra track. Hoover and his shotgun, Sy, Ansorregi, Njie… must be sublime to counteract the might of Burgos.
