The ambition of a titanic Betis Basketball yields to Fuenlabrada (94-72)

Always thriving and competitive at home regardless of the circumstances that put sticks on the wheel (three injured this time), to the Real Betis Basketball Ambition is not exhausted. Without Radoncic, Benite or Rubén López de la Torre, the team was squeezed by signing a double goal: to win the Flex Fuenlabrada and appropriate the particular duel. The Verdiblancos lost by 17 at Fernando Martín in the first round (90-73) and that blow to the jaw returned it to Madrid tonight winning by 22 Thanks to a very complete match on the two boards and full of proper names, among them Hughes (valued 29), Cvetkovic, Jelinek or Debisschop. He won Betis, who put more intensity, desire and ambition than his rival. Maybe the Fuenlabrada played with the calculator for that of the ‘poisoned gift’ (possible crossing in the final Four with the Obradoiro) that awaits the second of the table. Where the Betic team is installed and sleeps, with 26 victories, the same as the Fuenlabrada and one more than the Movistar Students, which this Sunday receives the Tizona Burgos. On one night for enjoyment, Betis worked at full speed by shooting its triple counter to 15 and its collective assessment, up to 110 credits with just nine players.

With a very short rotation, the Verdiblanca staging was optimal. Renfroe imposed the rhythm, Jelinek redeemed necessary points and, above all, the team did not neglect in defense and placed the defensive rebound, which allowed him to launch gañafones in the form of rapid attacks. He put six above with the defenses still warm, but then he would rise that little advantage the Fuenlabrada with Triple from Munnings and Jorgensen (13-14)the loose verse of the Madrid and, therefore, the player to monitor. Betis was then rearmed with a more physical quintet, joining Dallo, Tunde and Kasibabu when Fuenlabrada was singing and scratching second options, gradually adjusting his gear. Point top, down, the game was fast, articulating on little chewed, twinkling attacks. A bad a priori plan from the point of view of Betis Basketball, which responded to a triple by Edu Durán with Another distant from Cvetkovic with which the first partial (20-19) was pointed out (20-19). The Balkan handled the joystick of a very physical quintet, and that Gonzalo García de Vitoria maintained, based on the Dallo-Kasibabu-Tuntanda trident. Little height in exchange for muscle, mobility and intensity.

The Great Verdiblanco sin was located in external defense. From the corners the Fuenlabrada was harmed in obvious disapplications (22-22, Triple of McGrew). Tunde did not find out in defense and the Betis misguided themselves in their domains while Cvetkovicmany minutes on track, that erected in a kind of Swiss razor, assuming ball and shots, forced and not forced. Jelinek matched 26 from the Personal and Cvetkovic line warmed his wrists (29-28). In the absence of Hughes, who had not yet entered the game, he was already the top scorer of his team. And also an extraordinary crupier in the direction with a pass to a hand that Jelinek billed from the perimeter (32-28) and another of the same style to Álex Suárez (35-28). What a way to distribute the Serbian game. They were the best moments of Betis, intense back and effective in attack. Hughes, with several stocks on top, a basket was invented by tracing the background (37-31) when the battle in the rebound was intensified and the Fuenlabrada raised the hardness level of its defense. Hughes, overwhelming talent, gave another torque of pecks (43-33) from the arch to shoot ten up to Betisthat was serious, sober and maximizing the resources despite the casualties. There began another game. Hughes scored again (45-33), but the American ranked his excellent service sheet first erring the additional and, then, dotting a triple of Edu Durán that left 45-39 to the intermediate. From possible +13 to a +6 that threw water into the wine of a second quarter Verdiblanco of remarkable invoice. Of their 45 points, 20 stored them Cvetkovic and Hughes, at the rate of ten per head.

Kasibabu extended eight (47-39) and Renfroe, very liberated, failed the triple to place eleven above. Who did not forgive was Hughes, who has the hard and is ready, very smart. He dynamited another Fuenlabreño mistake (50-39) and forced Toni Ten’s dead time. Because Betis was much more alive in the game than its players. Debisschop increased the safety distance and The partial grew to 11-0 (56-39) After triple Hughes after a great defense and a better attack. Four minutes took the Fuenlabrada to score his first basket (56-42), but the Madrid team was disconnected and disoriented, surpassed by an armored defense to which he did not know how to bother him. Neither inside, nor on the outside. Betis had shielded, which taught fang, and even Debisschop joined the scorers’ poster (58-42). Cvetkovic was on, remembering the beginning of the season. Another triple of his consolidated the advantage (65-48) while Matulionis and Westermann worked out in holding his team, on the edge of the precipice of a third quarter marked by the defensive tension and the rhythm of the Betis Basketball, which had cut his wings to the Fuenlabrada and taken the game to his land, playing him with a lot of balance, ferrous behind and prolific in attack.

Victoria with additional prize

Jelinek recovered the 14 advantage with a frontal shot (68-54), but Fuenlabrada had not said his last word and continued working looking for that loophole that allowed him to knot himself to the game. Without too much faith, in any case. The vital constants of Betis, very solid, wanting to get rid of the hard defeat suffered in the crash of the first round, did not invite you to think about a collapse of the Gonzalo García de Vitoria team. Debisschop was growncomfortable, very active, beating, being interior stubborn and hovering the double-double.

Betis did not lower the piston and continued to struggle to a fuenlabrada who threw (76-58, after triple of Hughes), surprisingly without a pulse. A 0-5, technique through Renfroe, relieved Fuenlabrada, but Hughes was not formed. It multiplied by writing down and bouncing, contributing defense and intangibles, of everything (82-63). It is the player who stands the public, the differential factor. His recital was reflected in 26 points, seven triples and eight rebounds. At 2:57, Betis was 20 up (83-63). And at 1:55, with 86-65 after Triple de Renfroe. Dallo was also encouraged by three when Fuenlabrada, already at the last minute, pressed trying to recover the average. Betis defended him with Hughes in the bank and almost loses him after a loss of Kasibabu and a triple failed by Munnings. Jorgesen missed the shot to balance the particular duel and Jelinek put the lace that framed a great night.
