Artego from the very beginning had control over the course of the meeting, including the lead as much as 12:0. She sleeps the first points, with free kicks. It was awarded in the middle of the first quarter. For the first time in the history of the game, the women from Wrocław came to play only after almost seven minutes. No wonder that after the opening quarter the Bydgoszcz residents were leading by 21:11.
On the other hand, after their fatal performance in Krakow, the Bydgoszcz girls underwent a great metamorphosis and looked very good. – The victory is good mainly because after a not very successful match in Krakow we returned to our normal game,” said Tomasz Herkt. This time Artego’s coach could be fully satisfied with what he saw.
High advantage at the very beginning made it easier for Artego to play in the next stage of the meeting. Although in the second quarter the women from Wroclaw improved the game a bit, they were not able to get close to their rivals. What is more, after the change of sides, the advantage of visitors increased even to 17 points (36:53). Artego was impressive first of all because of the great defense game. The Polish champions could not find an answer to her. It is also worth noting that there were mistakes in the pledging. Sleeping allowed rivals to collect the ball under their own basket 14 times after missed throws.
The women from Wrocław also had a huge problem with their efficiency, even if they were already in a clean position. Only 29.8 percent of the game’s throws came from the whole match. So the yellow-red had no reason to think about victory. Artego finally won 66:53 in Wrocław. If in the last queue the Bydgoszcz players do not lose from PGE MKK in Siedlce, they will finish the main season in the first place. The chicks may take the third to fifth place
It was a well-deserved victory for the rivals. They had control from the beginning, they started with 12:0 and later they kept or increased the lead all the time – commented the match Arkadiusz Rusin, the coach of Ślęza. – Perhaps we were overwhelmed by the importance. We had in mind that two victories reward us for the first place. It was visible during the first five minutes. Our girls were very stiff.
Tomasz Herkt (coach of Artego): – I think both teams fought for victory in this game because the rank was high. Everything can still happen in the top four. We are satisfied with the win, especially because we returned to our normal game after a not very successful match in Krakow. There we lost a lot. Surely our defense has been decisive today. Sometimes we played really well in defense. I am glad that we have won the battle for collections, because this is not our domain. We usually have problems, and today we have won that. Harvesting combined with good defensiveness made us emerge victorious from this skirmish.
Arkadiusz Rusin (coach of Ślęza): – I congratulate the team and coach Artego on winning. It was a well-deserved victory. From the very beginning the rivals had control. It started at 0:12 and later all the time this advantage was maintained or increased. I warned the girls not to look at what had happened in Krakow, when Artego had lost high to the Vistula River. Each match is a new chapter. In this league it was so many times that the bands after the weaker performance quickly rose and showed their best qualities. And this is how Artego presented itself today. Perhaps we were overwhelmed by the importance, we had in mind the fact that two victories reward us to the first place. It was visible during the first five minutes. Our girls were very stiff. I think the pressure is now over. At this point, we are no longer handing out any cards. We will look at what kind of opponent will happen to us in the play-offs. In a moment the match against the Vistula River. We will prepare for it normally, we will want to win.
