El Negro appears in Alta Córdoba with the mission of stealing a game in the first match of the series.
Olimpico visits Instituto de Córdoba in the first game of the semifinal series of the National Basketball League, with the aim of taking advantage and stealing at least one game from this best-of-five match.
The match will be played starting at 8 p.m. at the Ángel Sandrín stadium with the arbitration of Pablo Estévez, Juan Fernández and Ariel Rosas and broadcast by Básquet Pass.
Olimpico comes to this stage on the rise after eliminating Platense in three games and sweeping the series. Meanwhile, Instituto, which finished second in the regular phase, has just worked hard to eliminate Regatas Corrientes in a fifth game.
Coaches Lucas Victoriano (Instituto) and Esteban Gatti (Olímpico) have clear philosophies, but the experience of players like Penka Aguirre and Nico Romano can be decisive for the Bandeño team.
Instituto will bet on its advantage in the paint with Javier Saiz, Roberto Acuña and Bryan Jefferson. The defense on the perimeter, led by Leandro Vildoza, Mauro Cosolito and Bautista Lugarini (Best Sixth Man of the season).
Olimpico could count on the return of Juan Pablo Arengo and a recovered Michael Hughes, which will extend its rotation. Pato Tabárez, inspired after averaging 16.3 points in the series against Platense, and Alex Negrete, elected Best U23 of the season, will be key pieces for the La Banda team.
The duel between these teams, with well-defined styles and a large amount of talent, ensures a vibrant semi-final. Performance in critical moments and the ability to execute strategies will be decisive in defining the finalist.
