Aloe Plus Lanzarote Conejeros suffered a new defeat in Tenerife on Wednesday afternoon. The Lanzarote team played against Náutico Tenerife in the advanced match of the 13th round, seeing how the rival surpassed them in the second half with great ease.
The match started in the best way for the interests of Aloe Plus Lanzarote Conejeros, being in charge of taking the initiative and starting the match with a 0 to 9 partial. They were managing to neutralize the rival, with the Náutico Tenerife players losing many balls and not finding options in attack against the defense of the Lanzarote team. With the score of 13 to 19, the first quarter came to an end.
The dominance of the visiting team was maintained until the middle of the second quarter, at which point the scoreboard reflected 24 to 30. Náutico Tenerife began to increase the defensive intensity, not allowing the rival to be comfortable on the court. Until the end of the period, the partial was 11 to 0 for the locals, reaching halftime with the result of 35 to 30.
Aloe Plus Lanzarote Conejeros completely disappeared from the court in the second half, against a Náutico Tenerife that maintained its intensity. Santi Lucena's team short-circuited the visiting attack, which was sustained by the contribution of Jon Ander Cuadra. The Lanzarote players committed up to 23 turnovers, to which must be added poor numbers in the outside shot with 4 of 21 in triples.
In addition, the Lanzarote team lost one of its best men in the third quarter, with Javi Herrero being eliminated and the rest beginning to accumulate personal fouls. A match in which only the contribution of Jon Ander Cuadra stood out with 22 points and 3 rebounds.
With the score of 86 to 55, the match came to an end, with Aloe Plus Lanzarote Conejeros suffering the ninth consecutive defeat and placing themselves in the lower area of the standings.
The Arrecife team occupies the penultimate place in group B with only two victories, just like the bottom team Agüimes, but with one more match than the Gran Canaria team.
They will say goodbye to the year next Sunday, December 15, visiting the court of Lujisa Guadalajara Basket.
