Setting Up

Noia begins by controlling the situation. T. Salvadó (Noia Nº8) supports Jordi Bargallo (Noia Nº9) as they move the ball to Liceo’s floor. Upon reaching Liceo's territory, Salvadó blocks Bargallo, creating space and a sense of danger for Liceo’s defence.

Starting

Noia sets up a 3-on-3 ball circulation. Morales (Noia Nº97) opens up the space, allowing Aleix Esteller (Noia Nº4) to move in. They balance the game by not crowding the area with too many players.
