The Municipal Chillán quintet is preparing to face the final stretch of the 2024 National Basketball League 2 in which it will play its last four games of the qualifying phase fighting for the elusive spot in the play-offs.
Last weekend, they beat Luis Matte Larraín by 64-49 and next Saturday, at a time to be determined, they will host Brisas with the obligation to win to continue with a remote chance of accessing the postseason.
“The game was difficult over the weekend, the kids came back from a significant gap in the last quarter and all the points that had not been lost, were lost in the last quarter. The important thing was to win away once morest an experienced rival. Now we have the other home and away dates to see how we will finish the League,” analyzed Diego Fuentes, a member of the team led by Alfredo Aliste.
Self-criticism
“We have been self-critical because we know that we have squandered a couple of victories. We have had the chance to be fighting for the top, because we have beaten teams that are higher up, but we are also aware of how much we have grown in these three years. Strengthening ourselves as locals, we have the best fans in the League. We continue working, trusting in the work of the coaches and teammates. We have a large squad, with plenty of Chillán fans and people who support the project,” concluded Fuentes.
Municipal Chillán has the following matches remaining: CD Brisas (L), Colo Colo (L), Quilpué Básquetbol (V) and Árabe Valparaíso (V).
After the weekend victory, Municipal Chillán is in seventh place with 28 points, following 18 games, in which it has collected 8 wins and 10 losses.
On Saturday night, Benjamin Cabello, the team’s coach, was the top scorer once morest Luis Matte Larraín with 22 points, followed by Francisco Garrido (17), Guillermo Quezada (12), Matías Villagrán (8) and P. Peñaloza (3).
Cabello was the one who contributed the most assists (7) and Guillermo Quezada was the one who added the most rebounds (11).
