77-96: Asisa Joventut falls in its first preseason test against Monbus Obradoiro

Asisa Joventut fell in Gijón in their first preseason test against Monbus Obradoiro by 77-96 in a duel marked by multiple losses in both teams due to the dispute of national team matches in atypical FIBA ​​windows in August.

A favorable score of 18-27 for the Galicians in the third quarter was key for the team led by Diego Epifanio to take victory in their second preseason test.

The first period was in which Asisa Joventut showed its best feelings despite being the first game of the season, with a magnificent letter of introduction from the American guard Boogie Ellis, who scored 11 points in four minutes (28-24).

The Catalans had a maximum of nine points in the second quarter, but Monbus Obradoiro recovered from the black and green partial with some good minutes from Alex Barcello from long distance, which caused the Galicians to go ahead at halftime (40-43).

At the restart, Asisa Joventut was seen very physically tired and Monbus Obradoiro took advantage of it to leave with an advantage of more than ten points, and the former green and black Álex Galán stood out, who was more than notable in the low post (58-70).

Already in the last ten minutes of the game, La Penya was unable to react and the Santiago team never saw its advantage in danger, quite the opposite, as it increased it to end the match with a 77-96.

With this match, those from Badalona finish their five-day concentration in Asturias due to the occupation of the Olímpic by various non-sporting events.

Asisa Joventut’s next preseason test will be on September 3 against Kids&Us Manresa, while Monbus Obradoiro will no longer have a match until September 5 against Río Breogán.
