First game for the bandeños after the departure of Leonardo Gutiérrez as head coach.
Friday night brought us a fascinating rivalry between two teams that have already clinched playoff spots. Olympic de La Banda and Platense met at Vicente Rosales, in a rather strange moment within their season. Both suffered from the loss of their head coaches for most of the regular season. Although the reasons were different, they changed the dynamics of schools. And the celebration on Friday was for the bandeños, who debuted Esteban Gatti as their main coach. Coming back in the last ten minutes, they took the game 69 to 65.
The starter, from squid
At the beginning of the actions, Platense laid the foundations based on the correct leadership of Vázquez and the contributions of the rest of the team with distributed goals. Olimpico, without good players, played stick-by-stick with three-point bombs (Machuca, Aguirre and Negrete), and what Hughes and Lockett delivered at different times, both in attack and defense.
Averaging the first half, the visit gained a lead of 7 points in favor, residing on the perimeter (Vázquez, Corbalán, Mayora and Barrales). The local team, very erratic, could not find any options to advance, but in a few minutes they closed the gap by charging at the low post and a new triple from Aguirre. In the first half Calamar was up 32 to 30.
Penka, the Olympic hero
After a long break, Vicente López’s team once again imposed conditions, to a new passage in the area in a game of streaks. Aguirre’s triple was again key to the Bandeño team’s reaction, favored by Thomas’ fifth foul with 2m remaining. of the third quarter. However, Pérez’s men managed to stay ahead from line 48 to 43.
At the quarter break, and with Machuca as a lighthouse, Olympic threw what was left in an effort to reverse history, but he found himself against a very solid opponent who came to build a plan with a lot of collective commitment . There are 3m more. Platense won 65 to 57 with Flor’s one-man team. Machuca and Aguirre responded in kind and left everything open for the end of the game. With 50″ left, Penka Aguirre tied it at 65. Corbalán failed and Aguirre from the line put the local team ahead 67 to 65, which was ultimately for a comeback victory. It’s 69 to 65.
