"...al final hemos concentrado el juego en el tablero cuando teníamos que haber intentado hacer algo más de *jugada choco* [...] y no tanto cargar el juego atrás."
The context is a game of pelota vasca; the person is commenting on the outcome of the semi-finals. In places, the transcription seems to be off, so it is possible that the actual term is slightly different.
Many thanks in advance.

This reference might be useful for some other terms too
"CHOCO. Rincón. Es voz vasca. En el juego de pelota tirar al choco: Al rincón izquierdo del frontis."
So, it's a shot to the left corner of the fronton. Sorry I don't know if there is a specific term for this in English though.

Reference:
es una variante de la doble pared, más cerrada
más o menos viene decir lo mismo que con lo de "el juego en el tablero".
La jugada se concentra en la esquina del frontón, con un juego vertiginoso y de rápida consecución de los tantos.
Varias referencias de uso real de la expresión.
Frontenis, variante con raqueta más vertiginosa en especial jugando desde atrás
