J5 – EBA AB: Reino de León and Tormes follow in the wake of the leaders

Little by little the upper part of this group AB from EBA League. After the dispute this weekend of the matchday 5, only Reino de León and Tormes remain in the wake of the pair of undefeated leaders that continue to form Obradoiro and Porriño. From that group of pursuers fall La Flecha and Chantada, who remain in the middle zone along with Marín, Basket León and the University of Valladolid. Looking towards the lower part, with two victories Óbila is located next to Culleredo and Betanzos, while Bosco Salesianos only has one victory in his account, just above the Oviedo subsidiary, Gijón Basket and Claret, which are the teams that so far they count their games due to losses.

At the top follows a Obradoiro Silleda that for the first time he did not win with sufficiency, although he did not fail equally with his appointment with the triumph (80-74) in view of CB The Arrow That was not far from surprise. In fact, it was the pucelanos who started the best, entrusted to a Millán López very inspired by the score, who gave them the first advantages, forcing a Galician reaction that would arrive before the break, which was reached with maximum equality. It was in the third quarter when Obradoiro seemed to sentence the crash, achieving a great partial in favor that placed them above ten rental points, with Paz and Huguet as the main offensive weapons. But La Flecha was not going to give up so easily and in the final minutes it was going to get close, giving excitement to a match in which it could not complete the comeback against an Obradoiro who knew how to handle those complicated moments well to avoid problems.

Also still undefeated Porriño Base Basketball, which continues to carry out its matches, winning this time (70-75) on your visit to Solgaleo Bosco Salesians. It was in the second quarter when Porriño got an income that he later knew how to handle well, despite Ourense’s attempts to get closer. With Joel Martínez and Javier Domínguez as the most prominent men, the visitors took eleven rental points at rest, forcing Bosco to look for a complicated comeback that Porriño knew how to contain well, despite the attempts of Cera and Preotu, who especially in the moments The finals led to an approach of their own, which could not go further, thus flying the victory for the visitors.

Third follow Leclerc León Caja Rural RdL after winning81-69) to Santo Domingo Betanzos. The Leonese came out strong, quickly opening a small gap, dominating the rebound and doing damage with the pair formed by Balasko and Sergio Martínez, who were joined by Miguel Domínguez from the outside. Betanzos tried to cut differences with Daniel Martín as the main offensive argument, but the defensive solidity of Reino de León kept the Galicians at bay, who did not finish being able to get into the game, finally achieving the locals to certify a solvent victory that settled them in the high side.

It also continues to show good feelings USAL La Antigua, which gave a good account94-73) this week of Traumacor Culleredo. From the beginning the Salamancans pressed, finding a good response from Culleredo, who managed to stay close to the break, taking advantage of the inspiration of Pau González. But a bad third quarter of the visitors was going to propitiate an escape from an unforgiving Tormes, with Yengue, Kiris and Morán maintaining the scoring rhythm to sentence the clash and prolong the good moment of his team, which already has four victories in a way consecutive.

The one who recovers sensations is Marin Peixegalego, who returned to the path of triumph (63-71) at the cost of a Claret Innoporc that still does not know victory. The Segovians have not yet been able to find the key in the category and pay their irregularity during the forty minutes of play. This time they started well, but a third quarter of offensive jam ended up condemning them, despite Drame’s good work, which was ultimately not enough. Marín knew how to play a more regular game, with Hogan, Castro and Filgueira contributing to take an advantage that they knew how to maintain in the final stretch, when Claret pressed well in defense.

Good week also to ULE Basket Leon, who had no mercy57-81) of an increasingly sunken Corinto Gijón Basket. And it is that despite the good Asturian start, with Fernando Fernández Noval once pulling the car, from the second quarter it was the Leonese who became owners of the game, turning the scoreboard to sentence in a second half in which they showed great defensive level, which together with the points of Morchón and Llamas, shot the difference to achieve a placid end of the game in which everything was already sentenced.

In full positive streak continues University of Valladolid, who achieved his third success in a row (56-62) in view of Unicaja Banco Oviedo. The clash had alternatives for both, but the offensive disconnections ended up costing the Asturians very expensive, compared to a more regular rival in their performance who made better use of their moments. Mario Méndez was the best for Oviedo, but in front, the good work of Encinas, together with a good defensive performance, was decisive for the important triumph of the university students.

The important triumph of Hereda-Ávila Authentic-El Bulevar, which was imposed (65-57) yet Ucoga Seguros CB Chantada-Ensino that drops a bit from the high zone. The people of Avila came from having bad results, but they showed a great version in a very worked duel from the defense, with Herrera and Villalba as offensive weapons to subdue a Chantada who did not finish finding the way in attack, despite the attempts of Iglesias , which were not enough to get something positive this time.

Offensive display without final prize

The case of a great individual performance that manages to distinguish itself as MVP of the day, but that is not enough to help his people to achieve success. This time the protagonist is Millán López, who completed a magnificent performance against Obradoiro, but it was not enough to defeat the leader. His 33 points (7/15 in triples), 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 stolen balls and 5 fouls received allowed him to add 38 rating, best performance so far this season in this group, but which lacked the final icing on the cake.
