The Alexandrian Ittihad disappointed the lovers of the port leader and fell in front of the Qatari Arab as a result of defensive mistakes, whether by the ease of his rival's access to his basket or in confronting the triple throws, which could have been invalidated if the Ittihad had changed its defensive method from defending the region to man to man defense, in addition to excess confidence and the feeling that the task is easy and that the title became (in the pocket) and we can also add the injury factor, even if Ittihad is full of replacements, and it is striking that the Arab deceived the owner of the land and compensated for his delay of 7 points by using the triple shot weapon, which wore out the defense and raised the difference gradually until he reached 13 points in some periods.
The match in numbers
* If we return to the statistics, we find that the preference was for Al-Arabi, at the level of the triple shot, the team succeeded in scoring 15 throws from outside the arc out of 30 attempts against 9 throws for Ittihad from 33 attempts. Al-Arabi also scored 6 free throws out of 9 against 6 of 12 shots for Ittihad, as the Qatari team surpassed in the pound, i.e. follow-up, especially in defense
