The Southern Conference of Liga Argentina continues its activities and in two new venues ( Mar del Plata and Ciudad de Concepcion del Uruguay ), the new bubbles will be staged.
In Mar del Plata will be the teams : Deportivo Viedma Rio Negro, Atenas de Patagones, Progreso de General Roca , Villa Mitre de Bahia Blanca, Quilmes Mar del Plata, estudiantes de Estudiantes Olavarria and Ciclista Juninense.
Deportivo Viedma Rio Negro will continue to bet on the offensive contribution of Ayan Nunez (195-F-97), Lucas Gonzalez (199-PF-94) y Maximiliano Tabieres (198-PF-89); without discarding the work in assists and armed Fermin Thygesen (186-PG-98). For those led by Guillermo Bogliacino the 1st phase was very remarkable with a score of 3-1 and being leaders in points converted of the League, leaders in triples converted and effective, as well as in percentage of field shot and free. The task remains the defensive area , and especially in the rebounds subject.

Atenas is a team that continues in its development and integration phase as a group. Its brand in the 1st phase was 1-3. Those led by Diego Lifschitz have the 5th best defensive of the tournament, so it's just that the offensive work starts to work. The presence of experienced players such as Howard Wilkerson (198-C/F-84, college: Wofford) , Martin Percaz (179-PG-93) and Franco Smaniotti should help to reverse the results in the 2nd round. The combined rebounds averaged between Wilkerson and Smaniotti are at 8 per game, an aspect that should improve equally.

Progreso de General Roca is undefeated in his first four matches. Tomas Luduena (178-PG-96) stood out in his lines with an average of 18.8 points per match, being among the top 10 scorers in the League; and standing out largely for his effectiveness from long distance. In the 1st round they were the team with the least points allowed to his rivals.

Villa Mitre continues to grow with the achievements as a team and leaving a score of 3-1 , his arsenal has been backed by a great performance of Jose Gutierrez (185-PG-87, agency: BIG) in offense as well as in the arming of the game being 3rd best in assists of the League. We cannot ignore the contribution of Franco Amigo (193-F-90) and Ramiro Heinrich (204-F/C-87), who on the defensive has contributed with an average of 9 rebounds per game, being the 10th best of the tournament. His coach Lisandro De Tomasi knows that he has the contribution of Federico Harina ( Average 13 points and 4 assists) and Ramiro Heinrich ( 9,8 points and 9 rebounds per day).

Quilmes is indebted to the defensive theme and is part of the reason for some falls. The brand is 2-3 and the bet of coach Manuel Gelpi i should be oriented towards that theme. Offensively, they have supported Raul Pelorosso (178-PG-94) (12.2 points) and Jeffrey Merchant ( 10.8 points and 3.2 rebounds per game). They are the 3rd team that allows more points and the contribution of Khalil Fuller will be decisive in the change of course of the Mar Plata team.

Cyclist is the team that has allowed more points to their rivals in this round. It has a mark of 0-4. After the 1st round, they bet on the arrival of Roquez Jhonson as a measure to change the course. Derrick Woods (203-F-97, college: St.Peter's) has been his best card with an offense ranked 29th in the league.

We will see what happens this week in Mar del Plata, where several teams have taken these days to rest and sharpen their weapons for a very short season and that additional, only grants 8 places to the post season.
