The team led by Fotis Katsikaris improved its image after the painful defeats against Coviran Granada (52-82) and Real Madrid (95-67), but it was not enough and they ended up losing to Sito Alonso’s team, which has already had three wins and is once again aiming high as the current team. league runner-up.
The Barça youth player Ludde Hakanson with 20 points and +29 rating was the MVP, followed by the former green and black Simon Birgander with double figures and +22 (12 points and 11 rebounds) and by veteran Dylan Enis, author of 12 points in the first 20 minutes.
The Murcian team soon achieved the first gains (5-12) against a Bàsquet Girona team that is still missing points and perhaps the time is coming for the owner and founder of the club, Marc Gasoldecides to undertake the signing of a scorer which the template lacks.
It is the team that averages the fewest points (69) and only scored five in the first five minutes. In this situation, a triple by Ennis and Kurucs after the fifth local loss extended the Murcian advantage to 10 points (7-17). The locals reacted with the entry of young Ferrando and Nnaji with an 8-0 run and a triple from Iroegbu to close the first quarter (20-21).
Básquet Girona does not give the key / EFE
Their weaknesses were immediately evident again with five minutes without points and 0/8 in field goals that allowed UCAM to escape by 12 points after the third triple by Ennis and a Hakanson basket (27-39). Bàsquet Girona went to halftime with a triple from Fjellerup at the buzzer to maintain some hope (33-40 and 11-21 on the rebound).
The 0/8 in field goals and five minutes without scoring was repeated in the third quarter and UCAM left by 18 points after a play by Birgander (33-510-11) and the local fans once again showed their anger with whistles, just like in the sad 52-82 against Coviran Granada.
At least, Katsikaris’s team gave him a chance to get within 10 points at the end of the third quarter (50-60) and start the last one with a spectacular 16-2 led by Juan Fernández from Santa Fe to take the lead 66-62 after two consecutive techniques to the visiting bench.
However, UCAM Murcia was reborn when it was at its worst with a decisive 0-10 partial with five different scorers in a sign of the team’s power as a collective. That 68-74 weighed like a stone and ended up cementing the final 75-72. Bàsquet Girona must give much more or it will be very bad.
