Defeat of Magec Tías "Against Gender Violence" in their visit to Maristas Coruña in a match where the Galician team was much more successful in attack than the Canary team.
The mistakes when making decisions in the offensive plays were key in the first and third quarter, so that the match was decided in favor of the Herculine team that achieved the victory by 79 to 63. Yaiza Betancort returned to the call-up after being absent in the last match due to illness, and Eli Dabou, after the bureaucratic problems were solved and the Senegalese player was able to return to Lanzarote last week.
Despite the start of the match being very even, Fernando Buendía's players gained an advantage after the halfway point of the first quarter, where they scored up to five three-pointers in 10 attempts, while the Lanzarote team had problems even seeing the basket in two-point shots.
With the nervousness of the red and blacks calmed down, the second quarter was much more even, although the outdoor shooting festival of Maristas Coruña was still overwhelming, stopped in this case with somewhat more success in the inside shot by the Canary Islanders who also improved in rebounding, although it was not enough to reduce the 8-point difference with which they reached the end of the first quarter and which would be repeated at the end of the second.
On the return to the court, the local team's recital of three-pointers continued, while the Lanzarote team tried to find defensive solutions to avoid those shots and offensive solutions to reduce the difference. Faced with the first of the problems, different alternatives were found, although all were avoided by the Galician players. Faced with the second of the problems, the only solution was to have more calm, but they still did not make the right decisions when looking for the shot. At the end of the third quarter the difference had been extended to 16 points.
It remained to think about the feat, but the situation became much more complicated with a successful local team that seemed impossible to face. The difference, which reached up to 26 points, was gradually reduced to the final 16. Again, the outside shot did a lot of damage to the Lanzarote team, which had even lost control under the hoops.
The island team returned empty-handed after the victory of Maristas Coruña by 79 to 63, already thinking about the last match of the year in the Lanzarote Sports City this coming Saturday receiving Bosonit Unibasket from Logroño.
"We were not successful in making decisions in attack and in defense their great outside success was falling on us like bombs," says Jesús García, coach of Magec Tías "Against Gender Violence," at the end of the match. "Now it's time to lift our heads and try to finish the year as well as possible, to face the second part of the season in the best way," he sentenced.
