Long game, crude but full of emotion in Badalona with a development, possibly outside of any script. It is worth highlighting the collective work of both groups over and above any proper name, although in this section there has been no room for surprises. Even though the modest Divine Joventut has shown a more than dignified image, the azulgrana superiority has shown them the way to victory. Equipment under construction, difficult to draw conclusions for the time being

First baskets of the game by a former Penya player, Ribas and eight consecutive Moerman points in an electric start of FC Barcelona, superior. On the part of Divina Joventut, the most outstanding thing is Richard’s five points, which is showing the necessary impudence in a match like today’s one. However, Ocampo decides to change his orchestra conductor, enters Dimitrijevic and generates a more dynamic game from his own (14-14, min. 5). After a few minutes with a dynamic and colorful exchange of baskets, the black greens enter in drought and those of the condal are put 7 again upwards causing the dead time of the Galician technician. After several attempts, the Macedonian base of the Penya gets to add from 6.75; Gielo joins it and responds Koponen.

Sanders breaks with a triple a 4-0 partial of those of Badalona that, in these first measures of partial second, they are working well as block although not taking advantage of the culés errors. Despite the local effort, Sito’s superiority becomes palpable and a new Moerman triple opens the gap again (28-36, min. 15). Gielo also manages to hit the right place from the perimeter to give life to his own in a moment of jamming of each other. The last third of the Barcelona period is a bad one, allowing Joventut to go to rest with a draw.

Good start of the locals after the passage through changing rooms adding a partial of 9-4 with a remarkable work of Gielo even in a match without names to highlight for the moment. Even without brilliance, the Divina Joventut manages to maintain that small unexpected advantage prior to the start of the match; meritorious performance of the canterano club, which is also working very well in defence (48-45, min. 26). Despite this effort and a Vidal and Kulvietes a little above his team-mates, five consecutive Hanga points allow the azulgranas to get back up by the minute. And another two goals from the Hungarian, the best of his own, set Ocampo’s time out. End of the midterm with everything to decide.

After a good start of last quarter favorable to Joventut that manages to return the tables in the scoreboard, Barça again marked the way to victory and, putting 7 up with a triple Ribas, provokes another time dead Ocampo. Heurtel and Sanders do the same and raise the rent to double digits (57-67, min. 34). It is a laudable attitude of Ventura who, after a bad match, tries again from 6.75 and adds up; turn for the stoppage of Alonso 3 above.
