The Red Hawks found their best basketball at the end of the Regular Phase and practically out of competition. The five wins in the last six games continue to make way for him to the playoffs. Could it?
How many games will surely be lamenting on Corrientes Street at this time, when it was better to be playing and when the results appeared. San Isidro won five of the last six they played, including two against Villa San Martín and one against Ameghino, teams classified as candidates for the Northern Conference.
The playoffs of the Argentine League are just around the corner and there is only one place left of the eight tickets granted by the conference (the seventh is already Estudiantes de Tucumán). That position is settled between Deportivo Norte de Armstrong, Sportivo América de Rosario and San Isidro himself.
Red has been forced to win for two dates and responded with ease to so much pressure. Now he goes in search of the heroic one, something unthinkable two weeks ago. He has two games left, tomorrow Monday (8pm) at the “Severo Robledo” against Ameghino de Villa María and on Wednesday (8pm) at the “Jorge Ferrero” by Armstrong against North.
Both must win, that is the first indispensable step. Then it will depend on how the last date will play with North, a direct rival. There, two paths open up: to get a win by any difference or if he will have to win by 19 points; Why? … we explain it to you.
As there are three teams with chances to equal in the eighth position, the definition varies. Sportivo América will also play at home tomorrow against the eliminated Central de Ceres, if the Rosario loses they will be eliminated and that is the best scenario for the Falcons. If they achieve a victory they would reach the record of 14-14 (won – lost), the same number that the “saint” aspires to reach as the maximum.
If that happens, San Isidro (as long as he beats Ameghino in the “Nest”), will go to Armstrong on Wednesday with the obligation to get a win by 19 or greater difference. If three teams match in position, a table of positions is made between those involved counting the matches between them and there the best stopped is Sportivo América.
Many numbers, yes … but that’s what San Isidro came to; from being far, far away, to being able to pull out the calculator to enter the playoffs. Bottom line: the Falcons must win their remaining two.
