Big win for the Maroussi against the Colossus of Rhodes for the 2nd matchday of Stoiximan GBL, which was also the team’s first in the league this season (70-67).
On the other hand, the Rhodes team suffered its second consecutive defeat, in a similar way that it also came against the Panionio. Good performance in the first part, collapse in the second and defeat in the final by a very narrow margin!
The match:
The Maroussi entered the match better with him Stove to start “hot” with 7 consecutive points, “built” the first small difference (13-6 in 5′), however from that point on the Colossus completely turned the tide and dominated.
With them Nelson and Hatzinikola mainly, it immediately turned the situation around and 18-11 very quickly turned into 18-19 at the start of the second quarter. Coloveros and Godlock they started to participate more actively in the scoring, with the guests constantly in front. Reynolds reduced it to 27-28 (15′) but Marousi was having a hard time attacking, while Koloveros’ three-pointer (7/13 Colossus at halftime) gave his team a 10-point lead (27-37, 19′) .
And from there on, Kolossos showed the same pathologies that he had in the match with Panionios, he had no energy and allowed Marousi to encourage. Fredrickson, Reynolds and Stove with big three-pointers they made it 34-43, 48-47 (28′) within five minutes. The hosts raised the intensity in defense and the match turned into a real derby.
THE Reynolds took over the scoring for Vetoula’s team and with his support Stove they were holding Maroussi tooth and nail in front. From the line of scrimmage, Maroussi took a three-point lead into the final minute, with Goudlock’s free-kick writing the 67-66with 8.2” for expiration. Stowe went 2/2 in shots, Goudlock missed a three-pointer in the exhalation, just as he did in the match against Panionios, and Marousi made a save in the championship wins, with Kolossos still without a win.
The quarters: 18-16, 29-37, 50-52, 70-67
