Barrio Parque opens the Reclassification of the Argentine League at home against Norte de Armstrong

51

Barrio Parque drew the first qualifying round of the season in the Argentine Basketball League. After beating Independiente de Santiago del Estero in the play-in, Verde del Sur takes on the Reclassification with the aim of reaching the quarterfinals of the promotion category.

The cast led by Nicolás Arduh, with the collaboration of Medardo Ligorria, opens the series at home. At 9pm at the Teatro del Parque they host Deportivo Norte de Armstrong, who finished sixth in the regular phase. The key will be the best of three three games and will continue on April 21 in the town of Santa Fe, and in the event of a third and decisive match it will be played on April 23, also in the province of Santa Fe, for the Northern Conference.

In the victory against the Santiago team by 81 to 53, Barrio Parque showed itself as a different team than the one that wandered in irregularity during the current campaign. He had more defensive concentration and tried to take better care of the ball, moving so as not to rush the shots in the fixed attack.
