Promising start
CB Murcia lacked the bellows to get the win but ran three quarters at a high level
Could not start with a win in the first preseason test played in Alhama.
At Menorca Basketball, CBA team, had many problems to score for 30 minutes.
The strong defense of the whole of Murcia, it was great until it ran out of gas.
Donaldson and Radenovic took advantage of it for the win.
Still, this is sensed CB Murcia is going to be strong in the paint and will have many options to score.
From the beginning the team of Luis Guil came out very focused on defense.
Faverani and Jasen, became strong on the rebound, and that allowed to finish ahead on the scoreboard.
Directed by Xavi Puyada, block, although still suffering from the burdens of the preseason, was quick on the counterattack.
A Menorca had trouble scoring and find your game.
The Paco Olmos reacted at the beginning of the second period to get ahead, but I would take little advantage.
In the second half of the CB Murcia quarter was strong in the paint and was more accurate from the line of 6.75.
Indeed, a triple at the buzzer Jasen allowed to extend the advantage to break and go up to six costumes.
On the restart remained the dominant home side.
This time the highlights of the team led by Gil was the outside shot.
Big men performed well in blocking and handles Umeh, Sergio Perez, Robles and Morentin were right.
Menorca just getting hurt by Donaldson.
But in the fourth quarter changed the game.
CB Murcia players accused the break followed two tough weeks of preseason and Menorca learned to play their cards right.
Urko Otegui, Balearic captain, pulled the car forcing mistakes, grabbing rebounds and scoring.
The lead was reduced until the visitors went ahead.
In the final minutes, the failings in the shooting of the premises, eventually swing the victory for the Basketball Menorca.
First test that leaves a good feeling despite the defeat.
For the coach, the whole of Murcia, Luis Gil, the meeting was "very positive steps."
Aware that "lacked fuel to end" his players are convinced by dedication and commitment.
"We are currently doing four sessions per day, like yesterday, and they can not ask for more. The important thing is that in two weeks, the team is to stop against Granada and of course against Breogán.
