2006 Finals - Game 5: Wallace makes Delfines the champions!!! - Nov. 30, 2006
J.R.
Wallace (183-G-81) showed why he's made for great moments, and scored a
three-point shot with two seconds left in the final quarter that gave Delfines
de Miranda the victory, 96-94, over Macizos de Guayana (4-1) to regain the title
of Liga Nacional de Baloncesto's champions in 2006, after being interrupted in
2005 by Guerreros de Caracas (now Lara), following a four-year reign in this
league (2001-2004).
Wallace, who won the Liga Profesional crown earlier this year with
Trotamundos de Carabobo and under the same head coach, argentinian
Nestor
Garcia, received a pass from
Ludwing
Irazabal (201-C/F-73) and in the same move threw the ball from the long
distance range to kill a spectacular reaction protrayed by the visitors, who had
recovered from an eight-point deficit at the beginning of the fourth period
(72-64) and had just scored a two-point shot by
Axier
Sucre (198-F-78) to go ahead in the scoreboard (94-93).
"It was incredible they way were loosing this game, but we still had two
seconds left in the clock. I had the space open and I took the shot. It's great
to celebrate my second champions title in Venezuela this year", said Wallace
following his amazing play.
Macizos, coached by
Ivan
Garcia , were a very tough rival for Delfines and maintained their level of
play even without
Kervin
Bracho (204-F/C-78) and
Lynwood
Wade (195-G/F-72) in the court, two starters that got injured after Game 2
and could never come back. "There can't be two champions and that's why I take
my hat off when it comes to Macizos", declared
Richard
Lugo (209-C-73), who's the major candidate for Most Valuable Player of the
Finals.

Finals 2005: Guerreros de Caracas win first LNB title over Buchones (4-2)
with victory 82-70 - Dec. 12, 2005
Guerreros de Caracas became the champions of Liga Nacional de Baloncesto
2005 after another dramatic and difficult victory over Buchones de Cabimas
in Game 6 of the Finals, which ended 82-70 at Cocodrilos Sports Park of
Caracas, D.C, ending a four-year streak of championships that their
neighbors, the mighty Delfines de Miranda, had been able to achieve.
Alejandro Barrios, named MVP of the Finals, played a spectacular fourth
quarter to lead the locals to their first ever title as a franchise in this
league, by scoring 12 of his 16 points in the last 10 minutes, to support
top scorer Johnell Smith. Buchones had played an impecable match till that
part, but started loosing too many balls, letting the warriors gain a
10-plus advantage that they would never loose again.
Guerreros managed to be ahead in the scoreboard since the very beginning,
thanks to Smith's production, which found support in Carlos Morris and
Kervis Ramirez, giving Caracas a much more collective effort when compared
to Cabimas's isolated way of approaching the rival's basket. Thus, Nestor
Salazar's team was able to finish ahead 27-15 after the initial period and
44-37 at half time.
Along came the third partial and that was when Buchones attempted a comeback
and played their best basketball. Gustavo Garcia's players were stubborn and
didn't wanna go down without a fight. Erick Herrera and Amber Marin led
their partners to a close 52-50, but after Salazar's pledge for timeout,
everything changed. Kervis Ramirez, playing for the injured Jean Carlos
Espinoza, was able to the same kind of work from the long distance to help
Guerreros gain a comfortable lead again, finishing that third quarter with a
margin of 57-51.
Then, in the last 10 minutes, Barrios woke up to become Smith's partner in
crime and establish Guerreros as the champions of a very special edition of
Liga Nacional de Baloncesto, considered a success due to the balanced action
in every conference and the development of new franchise and rookie players,
in a league that privileged the local talents over the hiring of imported
players.
