An environment without Xavi Garcia
CB Vic’s victory against Valls, with a forceful 101-81 marker, was marked by the absence of his regular coach Xavi Garcia, who was sanctioned and could not be present on the bench. In his place, Jan Sanglas took over the team’s leadership during a game that had times of great intensity.
Initial Duel and Leading Changes
The first quarter was a real score, with both teams alternating on the scoreboard. The difference did not exceed three points at any time, but in the last second, a Vic basket allowed them to finish the fourth with a 10-point advantage (29-19), marking a positive trend for the home team.
Vall’s reaction and resilience of Vic
The second quarter started with a CB Vic that quickly increased its difference to 13 points (40-27). Despite this, the Valls did not surrender and managed to cut the distance to only 6 points (40-34). A triple of Pol Ríos was key to stop the visitors’ impetus, but the Valls equalized the game and even passed in front (43-44). The Vigatans struggled to regain control, and one last effort allowed them to go to halftime with a six-point advantage (50-44).
CB Vic Dominance in the second part
The third quarter was a decisive time, with the valleys scoring only two points in the first five minutes. This allowed the Vic, at a time of great success, to extend its advantage to 62-46. In the last minutes of the period, both teams showed a better offensive performance, but Vic managed to keep himself on top with a 75-62 score.
A triumphant and relaxed ending
The last ten minutes were a reflection of what the game had been: dynamics and intense. With two consecutive 2+1 of Oriols Subiranas, the Vic achieved a maximum difference of 21 points (89-68) in the absence of three minutes. Despite attempts to the valleys to reduce the distance, the Vic continued to expand its advantage, ending with a final result of 101-81. In the last minutes, with the game already determined, the Valls was able to make a small makeup on the scoreboard, but the victory was indisputable.
