2Liga Round 8 (Regular Season): Pleszew keeps a leadership position

Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The game had a very big importance for fourth-ranked Pleszew as it allowed them to take a leadership position. Pleszew smashed bottom-ranked Gimbasket at home 152-64. Pleszew dominated down low during the game scoring 94 of its points in the paint compared to Gimbasket's 44 and made 31-of-41 free shots (75.6 percent) during the game, while Gimbasket only scored eight points from the stripe. Pleszew forced 56 Gimbasket turnovers and outrebounded them 46-35 including a 24-7 advantage in offensive rebounds. Pleszew looked well-organized offensively handing out 52 assists comparing to just 18 passes made by Gimbasket's players. 29 personal fouls committed by Gimbasket helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. Worth to mention a great performance of guard Bartosz Rachwalski (192-2004) who helped to win the game recording 34 points (!!!), 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals (on 13-of-17 shooting from the field) and Damian Szczepanik (198-1997) who added 23 points during the contest. Guard Wiktor Halka (180-2007) responded with 16 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. As mentioned above they are at the top of the standings, which they share with 4 other teams. Gimbasket at the other side still closes the standings with eight games lost. They share the position with 5 other teams. Gimbasket will play next round against Slask 2 trying to get back on the winning streak. It will be a derby game for which supporters look forward to, where their team will face at home their local rival from Wroclaw - Slask 2. Pleszew will try to continue on its current victory against ninth ranked Prudnik on the road.
Gliwice 2 has finally registered their first victory this season after eight consecutive losses. The win is especially important as they defeated much higher ranked MKS (4-4) 98-93. The winners were led by guard Piotr Losiak (187-2008) who scored that evening 31 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists and Milosz Szul supported him with 22 points and 5 assists. Even 28 points and 7 rebounds by Nikodem Wozny (197-2008) did not help to save the game for MKS DG 2. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Despite that victory Gliwice 2 went down to fifteenth position due to points difference. MKS DG 2 at the other side dropped to the seventh place with four games lost. They share the position with 5 other teams. Gliwice 2 will play against higher ranked Bielsko-Biala (#9) on the road in the next round and they do not belong to the favorites in that game. MKS DG 2 will play against AGH Krakow and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
2Liga top team - Gremi (8-0) had no problems winning another game on Saturday. This time they crushed thirteenth ranked Tarnowo Podg. (2-6) in Tarnowo Podgorne 94-67. The best player for the winners was Mateusz Itrich who had a double-double by scoring 20 points and 15 rebounds. Damian Szymczak produced a double-double by scoring 14 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists for the hosts. Since the result was very predictable, it gave the chance for the coaches to test many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games.

They dropped to the twelfth place with six games lost. They share the position with 7 other teams.
