No Grupo E, o Mogi começou as quartas de final da Liga Sul-Americana com o pé direito. Jogando em casa, no Ginásio Hugo Ramos, em Mogi das Cruzes, o time atropelou o Jorge Guzmán, do Equador, por 89 a 58, na noite desta sexta-feira (30).
Pelo Jorge Guzmán, o ala Dayon Griffin foi o cestinha do jogo, com 17 pontos. Pelo lado vencedor, dois alas dividiram o protagonismo: Daniel Von Haydin e Danilo Fuzaro marcaram 16 cada.
A rodada termina com o Mogi na ponta da chave, com dois pontos — os mesmos do Nacional, do Uruguai, que venceu o Independiente de Oliva, da Argentina, por 101 a 98 mais cedo. O saldo de cestas desempata a favor dos brasileiros: 29 contra três.
O Independiente é o terceiro colocado, e o Jorge Guzmán fecha a chave em quarto.
Neste sábado (31), a segunda rodada começa com Nacional x Jorge Guzmán, às 16h10; depois, às 19h10, o Mogi enfrenta o Independiente de Oliva, outra vez no Hugo Ramos.
O jogo começou morno, com empate em 6 a 6, até o Mogi apertar a defesa e acelerar a transição para liderar por 16 a 11. A atração da noite foi Lucas Dias: mais de quatro meses depois da lesão, o ala-pivô entrou na metade do período, guardou uma bola de três a quatro segundos do fim e somou seis pontos, fechando o quarto em 21 a 15.
Com domínio nos rebotes ofensivos e jogo de garrafão com Dikembe, os donos da casa foram a dez pontos de frente (35 a 25); as bolas de três começaram a entrar, principalmente pelas mãos de Von Haydin, e o intervalo veio em 41 a 27.
A volta trouxe o mesmo roteiro: defesa firme, contra-ataques e vantagem acima de 20 pontos (54 a 29). Fernando Penna então rodou o elenco, tirando Georginho, Lucas Dias e Von Haydin, e o terceiro quarto terminou em 59 a 41.
