Once again Compostelas gave the game away in a terrible second half.
CAB Obradoiro, founded in 1970, has the name Club de Amigos del Baloncesto in its acronym, and in honor of its founding charter, they are dedicated to making friends throughout the country.
And since we say this, why one more day; and there was some, after an acceptable first half in which we dominated the match against Valladolid in the Spanish Cup, a second half of indifference, misunderstanding and confusion that caused us to lose all the advantage that we had from the first minutes and the end. Even if we don’t know what to do.
Estudiantes, Cartagena, Fuenlabrada, Castelló and now Valladolid are sides of the same coin, where the team plays the game of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde, with two players in the same game.
mr. Hyde.
There is an Obradoiro who knows how to play and we saw it in the first minutes of the Pucela game. With exterior success mainly from the hand of Millán Jiménez and an unknown Quintela with the best three-point percentage this year. An Obradoiro who dominates the rebound and runs can control the game. And so, it happened in the first minutes where he always came first.
Even the second quarter and Balvin’s contribution, saw the best minutes of the game, with a 32-46 halftime score. At halftime the advantage was 11 points (38-49), and somewhat reminiscent of the game three days ago in Castelló.
Doctor Jekyll.
But like RLStevenson’s novel, we all have double faces and Obradoiro’s is ugly. Gradually many attacks began to fail, Valladolid, who was half knocked out at half time, saw a ray of light and forced, a veteran like Sergio de la Fuente appeared to put the team behind him, accompanied by Kovacevic’s triples. .which was released.
Sergi Quintela weathered Valladolid’s wave of form with his points, but a triple by Mike Torres with 1.30 left in the game put the home team in favor as they didn’t let the win slip away despite Quintela’s final basket. .
The only thing that can be saved for Obradoiro is that it is a double round tie (January 7) and with only two points of difference, it will be completely saved in Fontes do Sar, but the team is so weak emotionally that it needs a victory . to the rise of morality.
The problem, be it physical, mental, or sport, is that the team breaks down like sugar in coffee when the last minutes of the matches come.
The best.
On the Galician side, a good game by Quintela and Millán Jiménez but little accompanied by the rest of the squad, on the purple side Vucetic, Kovaveciv and Sergio de la Fuente stand out.
The absentees.
Obradorio, despite being a good team by name, did not show it on the field, Davison was absent, Micovic contributed little and Stevic, despite playing many minutes and fighting, did not either will add to the offensive side. There are many ifs and buts for reference team players who should be the team’s stronghold. If we add to this that Rati does not seem like the player of the Georgian team, that Nacho Arroyo is still injured and that Stephens has played very little, the outlook is bleak.
Félix Alonso is the new coach.
And to solve this disaster in the team, Héctor Galán has just picked up the daisy and chosen Félix Alonso as the new blue and white coach.
Félix joined the Obradoirista family as head coach to fight for the goal of returning to the Endesa League. He arrived in Santiago de Compostela after leaving Trefl Sopot in the Polish TBL, where he became an assistant coach.
The Spanish coach has a lot of experience in national basketball, as a first coach or assistant, in teams like Melilla Baloncesto (LEB Oro); Jovent Alayor (LEB Bronze); Palma Air Europa (LEB Oro), where they are one game away from being promoted to the ACB; San Pablo Burgos (Endesa League); or Ourense Basketball Club (LEB Gold).
In addition, he also has experience abroad, having worked for New Mexico Lobos in the NCAA, in Sampaense and Ovarense (Portugal), Nassjo (Sweden) or Basket Zielona Góra (Poland).
Obradorista fans cling to him to correct the course of this ship that is heading straight for the cliffs. Next Saturday the 29th, it will be a trial by fire when facing a tough opponent of Sar, COB Ourense.
