Chilean Professional Basketball Report: Update for Aug 24

Chilean Professional Basketball Report: Update for Aug 24

By Rod “Alley’Gator” Hunrichse, 20120824

Professional basketball pre-season is underway, uncertainty is getting clearer. DIMAYOR and Liga Nacional are being formed, yes, two parallel leagues. Live televised games help to improve the exposure and funding.

DIMAYOR 2011-2012 season, the mature but returning Professional League, finished in April 2012, in the midst of a restructuration. The parallel Liga Nacional tournament also finished a long 5 months season. Most players competed on different leagues.

Español Talca recently decided to move from DIMAYOR to Liga Nacional. Español was dissolved after the DIMAYOR postseason, most players reinforced nearby Maxibásquetbol Chillán.

But the regular person is interested in the REAL Professional leagues, the one on for their city, with spectacular foreign players, and classic rivalries.

Chilean Basketball Report: Update for Aug 23

By Rod “Alley’Gator” Hunrichse

I got the news and buzz of Chilean Basketball for you in english. A lot is happening and uncertainty is getting clearer. Dimayor and Liga Nacional are being formed, women have a fairly competitive league as well, but not surprisingly, have two leagues. Live televised games helped to improve the coverage and exposure. Minors have competitive tournaments too. The National teams lowered the age limit for a projection to the future, but collected lots of baskets and losses.

DIMAYOR season, the mature Professional League, finished in April 2012, in the midst of a transitional 2011-2012 season. The Liga Nacional tournament also finished a long 5 months season. Currently, semi professional leagues are underway, only allowing nationals, and divided in regions.

But the regular person is interested in the REAL Professional leagues, the one on for their city, with spectacular foreign players, and classic rivalries.

Here are the current Leagues situation, later the Second Semester Leagues definitions.

UDECONCE beat Aleman at San Pedro with signature third Quarter rise

Sunday afternoon, the new Concepcion classic for Group A was played in San Pedro, it was for UDECONCE, but flat at the end of the first half.

Universidad de Concepcion without Eduardo Marechal, but reinforced with Sebastian Figueroa, comfortably beat Aleman after a close first half, disctinctive changing routes on the third quarter gaining a lead that was to be unreachable for Aleman.

I interviewed Coach Rodolfo Caceres before the game, then after: Matias Villagran (returning from an injury), reliable Albert Gueneau, Evandro Arteaga and Jackie Rogers.

Next week both teams play weak Osorno Basquetbol down South, to revenge Monday in Casa del Deporte.

A detailed report to be filled soon.

Emotional debut of UDECONCE at home vs Espanol with a last second decision

Saturday night, the anticipated battle for the lead was played on the debut at Casa del Deporte Gym.

Club Deportivo Universidad de Concepcion (CD UDECONCE) vs known rival visitors Espanol and first time clash Osorno Basquet.

October 16, 2010, was the first game of two games for Universidad de Concepcion at home on Group A for Liga Nacional de Basquetbol "Movistar" 2010, and was decided at the last second.

Espanol played Friday vs Aleman and it was a close win by Espanol [see article "Aleman blew a chance to beat candidate Espanol"].

CD UDECONCE vs Espanol

At 20:00 GMT -3, UDECONCE debuted, and also debuted foreign addition Jacquon "Jackie" Rogers, playing against Espanol Talca. Jackie Rogers did not influence the game, because he repeatedly blamed his only two practices with the team and getting to know the foul calls on the League.

Alemán blew a chance to beat candidate Español

Tonight Deportivo Alemán Concepción lost a game receiving Español Talca in the Hills of San Pedro, after a big start, false start, wrong start and bad ending.

Alemán and CD UDECONCE, both from Concepción, play their first two games after a delayed first week on Group A of Liga Nacional "Movistar" 2010. Both are facing visitors Español and Osorno Básquet on consecutive days.
