O Pedrocão viu o Sesi Franca devolver o troco ao Mogi na noite desta quarta-feira: 90 a 74, com 21 pontos de David Jackson, cestinha do duelo. Aos 43 anos, o camisa 32 foi o nome do sexto encontro entre as duas equipes na temporada e ajudou a equipe francana a chegar ao segundo triunfo seguido no Novo Basquete Brasil.
O placar também funciona como resposta à decisão do Campeonato Paulista, vencida pelo Mogi. No retrospecto do ano, os times já se cruzaram seis vezes: três vitórias do adversário, justamente as da final estadual, e três do Franca no geral.
Para o ala, o confronto virou uma disputa de leitura de jogo, já que os dois elencos se conhecem de sobra.
Um jogo duro, já jogamos várias vezes contra eles... é um jogo mais mental agora. Nosso time sabia qual estratégia tinha que usar e precisávamos demonstrar em quadra... hoje fui eu, o Vitinho, mas mais gente conseguiu fazer mais de dez pontos, foi um time completo hoje — declarou o ala.
O americano, atleta mais velho do plantel, falou sobre o papel que exerce no vestiário e na orientação dos companheiros nos momentos decisivos.
Sou o mais velho do time, tenho muita experiência, e tento falar o que eu acho o melhor para o time em alguns momentos... nos comunicamos bem e tentamos executar em quadra — completou David Jackson.
Com duas vitórias em duas rodadas, o time de Franca reaparece em quadra na próxima segunda-feira, contra o Corinthians, em São Paulo. A bola sobe às 20h, no Wlamir Marques.
