UCAM resists and defeats Falco to keep leading

Date:

Sito Alonso’s men gave their breasts because of the losses of Davis and Trice, two of their most important players

James Anderson’s first big game as a UCAM player was missing and here it is. UCAM faced a key game, the last at home in the Champions League group stage before traveling to Turkey and France in recent days to remain group A leaders and keep their options, avoiding the play-in. ‘ qualifying. After Sunday’s emotional setback in Madrid, the league change could be worth some oxygen to the head, but Sito Alonso’s men have been watched with one eye due to injuries.

Without Luther and without signings, Jordan Davis and Travis Trice now fell. The first due to a torn biceps femoris in his left leg during a sprint, which will sideline him for a month to a month and a half, and the second due to a head injury caused by an accidental blow with Radovic in training on Monday, the same day that Davis fell. Trice, who was prevented today as a precaution, will fortunately not be out anymore.

Bellas (6), McFadden (5), Rojas (7), Anderson (17) and Pustovyi (7) -starting five- Klavzar (14), Radovic (6), Sakho (0), Diop (8) and Jelínek ( 1).

Pot (17), Brown (2), Cowels (3), Tiby (8) and Keller (19) -starting five- Perl (19), Sovegjarto, Kovacs (2), Krivacevic (0) and Barac (4).

With down points, but with a game plan, Sito’s went for the win. And, with what went wrong in Hungary as well as what went right, the clear motto in the beginning was to feed Pustovyi by the basket, where he caused a lot of damage in the first leg. He did it tonight too, as he scored 17 points and 7 rebounds, but it was the main reason UCAM went 9-1 in four minutes. Falco woke up slowly, but he did it in style, as he responded with a 4-15 run to close out the first quarter (13-19).

Dominated for a few minutes by Zoltán Perl, clearly the best rival player, with no need to demand himself when scoring, but in which UCAM also suffered under the lone leadership of Klavzar, too shy to give clear orders to his teammates and, with Pustovyi resting , he lost his lighthouse a little. With the return of the Ukrainian, and also with Radovic imposing his centimeters, but especially with the game taking on a dog face, UCAM would continue in the break with a few minutes of character led by Bellas and Rojas (38-35, halftime) .

The game entered the field of equality, one from which it would not leave until the final minutes, and the officials decided to take control of the game with a loud whistle of 19 fouls in just the third quarter, a mud that would not go away Nor neither the Spaniards nor the Hungarians broke the game in their favor (58-57, end of the third quarter).

Rough game, with more than one controversy, but in which Perl’s class emerged dangerously, one of those dominating players without the need to raise his voice or beat his chest. He wanted the ball, it came to him and he decided, almost always correctly.

Seven of his points in just two minutes put Falco one step ahead of victory, but it was when James Anderson, who had reacted in his few minutes, began demanding the ball to decide what to play. Executing himself, or knowingly exploiting the advantages of Pustovyi, who did damage again, UCAM continued (68-64, minute 36).

The game would break when a technique by Barac gave away a free kick and in the play that followed a ‘board’ for the shooter ended in a three-pointer by the young Klavzar with less than two minutes left. He, with personality baskets in a final where he shared the lane with Bellas, who ate the toast for the Falco veterans, decided the final.
