The Fourth Cruz Brothers dominate Girona derby
The Fourth Cruz Brothers secured a decisive victory over Sol Gironès Bisbal Bàsquet in yesterday’s intense derby, finishing with a score of 61-49. Coach Carles Ribot’s squad established their dominance early, capitalizing on Bisbal’s visible fatigue from previous matches. The home team struggled to find their rhythm, appearing disoriented against the Quarter’s relentless pressure.Defense was the hallmark of the game, with the experienced Quarter players showcasing their tactical prowess. Their veteran savvy, combined with accurate shooting, proved too much for Bisbal to overcome. By halftime, the Quarter had built an 11-point lead (29-19), effectively controlling the game’s tempo.
Even though Bisbal attempted a comeback in the second half, spearheaded by Eric Jiménez’s efforts, the Quarter remained in command. Cesc Senpau’s late three-pointer at the end of the third quarter, following a missed shot by Martorell, further solidified their advantage.
As the final buzzer approached, the Quarter seemed content to maintain their lead, adopting a more conservative defensive strategy. Their focus shifted to preserving their victory rather than extending their margin. This strategic shift highlighted their confidence and control throughout the match.
