60-83: Valencia’s defense overwhelms Zaragoza
Valencia Basketball’s defensive prowess and tenacity saw them win big in a friendly against Casa de Monto Zaragoza in Teruel this Saturday.
The game started evenly with Casadémont Zaragoza leading the first quarter. However, the appearance of Chris Jones and the energy of the players off the bench allowed Valencia to take control of the scoreboard and the game before the break, leading to his 1-9 run.
The Valencia team came back better with some good finishes from Kyle Alexander, but the appearance of Justinian Jessup from the three-man line allowed the team to narrow the clash.
Valencia stuck to their defensive and rebounding control to prevent Zaragoza from going ahead, and the emergence of Jaciel Rivero and a third-quarter three-pointer at the buzzer by youth team Lucas Mari earned his rent back ( 45-56, m .30) ).
The partial change didn’t change the script, with Valencia leading by nearly 20 points and a timeout by Martin Schiller waking the team up, but Alex Mumbleu’s team’s defensive seriousness saw him run and end the match. I was able to control it.
