Sito Alonso’s men were no match for the Verdiblancos in their second preseason game; today, new test in Galicia
It’s not about results, it’s about winning in preseason thrills. But yesterday in Vilagarcía de Arousa, where UCAM plays the EncestaRías tournament, neither one nor the other. The Murcians conceded a three-digit negative score against Betis, a team that is left with more important players from last season and which is at a more advanced boiling point, but they didn’t offer much detail on the evolution either, with constant attacking jams, spread behind and in general much less energetic than the Sevilla team, which started to care first to continue to grow with the passage of time to always comfortably dominate the university team, which gave many minutes to the youngsters in the second half from his EBA team they support in the preseason.
And it is that, from the same first jump, the party was painted verdiblanco. Already in the first quarter, UCAM conceded a 35-point sack for just 18 in favor, marking the future of the entire game. Very slow for defensive rotations, a Betis who circulated a lot around the ball found it easy to get a high percentage of shots. In the UCAM, many possessions were close to 24 seconds to end in a difficult one-on-one, with Davis being particularly erratic. Not even bringing together the three-point guards, Trice, Bellas and Klavzar, gave UCAM more fluidity.
But there was never a story. A few minutes of cartooning in the second quarter of Travis Trice, displaying a wide repertoire of means to generate his own shots, managed to reduce the disadvantage to less than ten points (46-37, minute 19), but the quality of BJ Johnson returned his comfortable income before halftime to Betis (54-39).
Going through the locker room didn’t change the game at all. Luis Casimiro’s men returned when they left, much hungrier than Sito Alonso’s men, and this allowed his team to play very comfortably. It is true that UCAM still has five internationals to enter, four more than a Betis that only Gerun has with his roster. On the more positive side, Trice and Sakho. The Murcians will play the match for third place today (6:00 PM).
