73-57: Lenovo Tenerife not weak, overpowering Surne Bilbao

Lenovo Tenerife beat Surne Bilbao Basket (73-57) to continue sharing lead With the great national team of the Endesa League.

Retaining the lead after seven games is no easy feat, but Txus Vidorreta’s team has achieved it without playing like they would on any other occasion.

Surne Bilbao came to Tenerife and got everything readyHe did very well in defensive work against the local team’s shooters, but those inside balls “ran away” from them. Gio Shermadini took advantage of it and scored.

Today was one of those “pick and shovel” games, as island teams always found very tough opponents.

In the first ten minutes, the two teams tested how their rivals played. Despite the fact that the people of Tenerife always dominated the scoreboard, they did not have the expected composure.

After the first quarter ended 22-16 going into the second quarter, the two teams also acted very cautiously. However, the island team was more focused on defense and knew how to play more accurately.

With the impossibility of scoring from the outside, both Cook and Jaime Fernandez attacked ‘one-on-one’, which managed the match better and extended the gap. Of course, his eight points scored by Aaron Doanekamp were crucial to make him 34-23 with his minute before the break.

Lenovo Tenerife were ready to decide the game in the third quarter and didn’t wait until the end. Despite trailing by 17 points (40-23, 21′), Surne Bilbao didn’t say the last word.

The team, led by Jaume Ponselnau, performed well on the outside of Tenerife and maintained their own style of play. We worked hard to improve the inside game. It cost him as the interior of Tenerife was heavily damaged.

It would be the fourth time they have issued a warning to their rivals. Along with Weizzy, who was always doing damage in the inside game, both Kaiser and Smith and Arosno started to contribute in the attacking game, going down seven points (58-51).

The turning point in an island draw that started with Fitipardo’s triple (61-51, 35′) followed by Cook’s 2+1 (64-53) Bilbao were powerless to come back into the game despite two consecutive timeout attempts by Ponsarnau. In the end he went 73-57 to keep the Tenerife people at the top of the table.
