In any sport, to beat the leader of the competition you have to complete an exceptional match and also have a dose of luck. And this Friday the GBC had both. They initially destroyed the leader, San Pablo Burgos, in Illunbe, with up to 21 points of difference, but the end was heart-stopping. The stands threw their hands up when with 8 seconds remaining Micah Speight rose from the three-point line with the score 80-78. And what happened next is practically inexplicable.
The ball came out with an almost perfect trajectory, landed on the rim and began to spin. The ball seemed to go in, then out, and the tension remained there for almost two seconds. With half the ball outside the basket and half inside but without touching the net, the ball did not stop spinning. Up to three ‘ties’ or complete turns on the rim gave the ball. The benches and the stands held their breath without knowing the trajectory that the ball was going to take, which finally fell outside the basket and could not be touched by any visiting player. 80-78 final and the stands puffing.
The shot came out heads for GBC and tails for Burgos. So to speak, the lottery remained in Illunbe, where the leader fell for the second time this season and Odriozola’s men are climbing positions in the table towards the dream of returning to the ACB.
