Although I am not much of a writer about this sport, since I prefer to write about soccer or baseball, I do not want to miss this opportunity to start to expand my knowledge a little more, so I will be making small summaries of the incidents of the first Grand Final of the Professional Basketball Super League.

Primer juego // First game
The final started last Wednesday, October 19, 2022, when Trotamundos de Carabobo received Cocodrilos de Caracas in the first duel of a series of two, where the locals were far superior to get the victory 72-63, a short score because at one point the difference achieved was up to 27 points.
A duel that surprised by the wide difference, since in the papers and looking at the opening quintet of both teams was expected a game more equal in points, which only lasted until Néstor Salazar (coach of Trotamundos) moved the bench, the entry of Jhornan Zamora was key for Luis Báez to lead the offense and allowed the Expreso to reach 10 points of advantage. With the defensive lapses of the visitors, Dwayne Davis and David Cubillán appeared to extend the advantage even more and at the end of the first half it was 25 units.
With such a cushion, the Trotamundos players relaxed, allowed the rival to cut the difference and if it had not been for the call of attention of their coach telling them that "The game is not over, now is that the game remains", when the advantage was 13 points with approximately 5 minutes to go, the score of the commitment would have been closer.

Segundo juego // Second game
The second game was a duel more similar to what is expected to be all this final series, Cocodrilos de Caracas made the necessary adjustments to contain Trotamundos, but still it was not enough and the team fell apart in the last stretch of the game to fall 77-66.
Once again the locals showed their great depth in the bench, they had the Saurios always close on the scoreboard, 18-16 in the first quarter, 14-18 in the second and 21-21 in the third, to total at the beginning of the final stage 53-55, only two of difference.
With the wear and tear the local team went up, the collective game both in defense and offense paid off for Trotamundos to take a duel that was very even and move to the Gimnasio José Beracasa del Parque Naciones Unidas with two victories ahead.

La clave // The key
Without fear of being wrong, this series is already defined and most likely will end in 5 or 6 games, the depth on the bench of Trotamundos ends up being the key to open the lock in both games, if Cocodrilos does not take advantage of the locality in the psychic and let the visitor win at least one game there, it will be too much uphill to be able to come back and win the crown.

Desde un principio de la temporada, Trotamundos desde luego se ha mostrado superior, ya se veía desde un principio este campeonato para el expreso azul.
Sin dudas un equipo arrollador, pero en las dos series anteriores se vio un poco más ganable que en estos dos primeros juegos con Cocodrilos, ¿crees que pueda ganar dos juegos en el Naciones Unidas o piensas que la serie regresará a Valencia?
Oye ya como va la serie se pudiera sellar el campeonato en Caracas, pero yo creo que si regresan a Valencia.
