Kassius Macdonald Robertson, who will turn 27 years old next day, was the main protagonist of the victory against the Manresa in the Endesa League duel that took place in Sar. The more he needed him, thanks to his talent the Construction site I got an extra life The Canadian, who retired injured a few seconds to the end of the duel, was resurrected in the last quarter to lead the Obradoiro to the ninth victory of the present sports course. Although this time he was not lucky from long range, the guard became the top scorer for his team.
Robertson was the most intoned in the ill-advised first quarter of the Work. I signed 6 points. He did not shine neither in the second nor in the third quarter, but he opened the jar of his best essences in the decisive phase of the clash. In the last quarter he left with 11 points and with two decisive triples. One of them when Manresa had the intention of opening the wound midway through the last quarter and the other to equalize the light in the absence of just over a minute for the conclusion of the duel. When your wrist is well oiled and your crosshairs are well centered, Toronto’s is worth three.
After failing the five triples he tried in the first thirty minutes of play, the Canadian, with the precision of a surgeon, found his way from the perimeter in the decisive phase. He only converted two, but they were enough to unbalance the balance for the Obradoirist side. Robertson was finer on the two-point shooting (6 of 12), completing the afternoon in the caldeira with 23 points in 35 minutes of play (14 valuation credits). In scoring he was only below the Californian Frankie Ferrari (26).
Good percentage
The guard also registered a good percentage in free throws (5 of 6). Two served to put the Work ahead 34 seconds to finish. Curiously, the only error in this section gave a little life to the Catalan painting. After forcing a foul, Robertson was able to leave the Manresa four points behind in the final stretch, but missed one of the two free throws and the score remained at 90-87, which was ultimately final.
He retired limping and injured, even crying even in the locker room from the pain. On the track, the visitor five had seventeen seconds to force the extension, but nerves played a trick on him by missing his three desperate attempts from the perimeter. In that short interval of time, Obra defended poorly, but Manresa attacked worse.
Despite his good and decisive performance against the Catalans of Manresa, the Canadian was far from his best afternoon as an Obradoirista. His most spectacular record was signed last December in Sar in front of the Zaragoza, with 37 points and 35 appraisal credits. That Sunday morning before Christmas became Santa Claus and he offered an offensive recital with nine triples in his team’s victory against the Aragonese (102-91).
This last Saturday, Moncho Fernndez’s quintet He did not have his best day in the facet in which he excels the most, in the triples. He was only able to convert 5 of the 19 he tried. However, this 26% effectiveness, a very low figure for the talent of the players in the Compostela team, was enough to defeat Manresa, a team that offered a real festival from afar, with 48% effectiveness (16 out of 43 triples). ). In the first part, he signed an 80% success rate in this section. The American from Minnesota, Matt Janning, with 5 of 9, he was the other great protagonist from the perimeter in the Catalan box, the perfect companion for Ferrari (6 of 10 triples).
Luxury cast
Despite the excellent records of Robertson and Ferrari, the most valued player of the match was the pvot of Pennsylvania Jake Cohen, with 28 credits: 16 points (4 of 5 baskets, 1 of 2 triples and 5 of 5 free throws), with 6 rebounds and 3 assists, in 27 minutes of play. Robertson led a luxury cast before the Manresa, which shone with its own light in the second half. He was the main actor.
The protagonists were slow to leave their dressing rooms, but when they did, the Catalan quintet found themselves against the ropes. The Toronto guard was not alone. His back was well covered by Jake Cohen. Also by Laurynas Birutis (11 points and 5 rebounds), Steven Enoch (6 baskets of 6) and Chris Czerapowicz (12 points and 4 rebounds).
