The Lointek Gernika Bizkaia has today faced the Israeli team Elitzur Ramla in the Arena Izzi pavilion in Sofia, the second matchbetween the two teams in just 48 hours. The Gernikarras have suffered throughout the match and have lost in the end, but have maintained the average (+16) and ranked second for the playoffs that will be played in December (62-64).
Lointek started the game pretty well, but soon he was disconnected both in attack and defense, and the Israeli quintet took advantage of it to score up to nine points, but the Gernikarras managed to reduce it to five points at the end of the quarter (16-21).
In the final minutes of the second quarter, the Biscayan team has taken the lead by going back to the score they had against for most of the partial thanks to pressure from the Israeli players, who have gone to rest with a one-point advantage (33-32) with a 17-11 partial to Elitzur Ramla.
However, the Lointek Gernika experienced the worst moment of the match in the third quarter, losing by 15 points of difference . Lucas Fernández's girls lowered their defensive intensity and were unable to close the rebound, so the Israeli team scored a partial of 9-23 in the third quarter (42-55).
The suffering of the Biscayans at the beginning of the decisive last quarter has not stopped, but with the passing of the minutes the Israelis have gradually lost strengthand the players of Lucas Fernández, based on defensive work, have confined themselves to making basketball easier to approach the scoreboard and end the hopes of Ramla.
The German Sarah Polleros, the Lointek eaves, was injured at the beginning of the second quarter, but then re-entered the court without any apparent problems. Polleros was the top scorer of the first half with 13 points and the top scorer of the game, along with Bessoi, with 20 points.
