With a cool head and without clouding after the triumph that Athens achieved in Game 3 of the Argentine League Finals, Lucas Arn and Nicholas Zurschmitten They seemed calm, knowing that each game is a different story and that the Greek should not look beyond the next game.
The Cordoban team planted itself on Buenos Aires soil, defeated Chivilcoy Racing by 74-68 and went 2 to 1 up in the series. The players valued the personality that the team had and how it relied on that factor to be able to celebrate a key point and leave the match point key.
“All the games are going to be like this. I don’t think that, despite the result, anyone will give up. We suffered the blow there, now they suffer the blow here. All the chapters are different. It is important to score 2-1, but this team is very dangerous, very talented, has many weapons and the series is clearly not closed,” explained Arn, who was the scorer of the night with 25 points.
Although Athens went 2-1 and regained the home field, the task is not finished. The Greek is missing a step and his players know it. “All the games are going to be like this. I don’t think that, despite the result, anyone will give up. We suffered the blow in Córdoba, now they suffer it here. All chapters are different. It is important to make it 2-1, but this team is very dangerous, very talented, has many weapons and the series is not closed,” added Arn.
Along the same lines, Zurschmitten added: “It’s one more game, the one who reaches three wins. We said it when we lost in Córdoba and we continue to say it now. There is still a long way to go. The next game is going to be very hard, but we are prepared.”
Nicolás Zurschmitten does not want to trust himself.
Atenas, one step away from promotion to the National Basketball League
The Córdoba cast is one step away from the great goal it set at the beginning of the year. The fourth game will be next Monday, from 9 p.m., again at the Grilon Arena in Chivilcoy. “The excitement has been there since the first day we came to Athens. We came for this and we are one step away. There is little left and a lot left at the same time, but we are on the right path,” concluded the point guard who finished the night with 14 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.
