Spanish basketball lives its particular ‘boxing day’

The ACB has its particular ‘boxing Day’ this Sunday, with 9 games escalated on Sunday until ending the Clásico, Real Madrid-Barcelona. Unicaja will play in Bilbao, seeking to stay in a complicated Cup train after falling on Tuesday at the Carpena against Fuenlabrada. Precisely those of Madrid will be rivals of Coosur Betis, in which their last two reinforcements will debut. A curious couple: Jêrome Jordan and Jêrome Randle.

Joan Plaza turns 57 and wants to give herself as a gift his first triumph in this new stage at the helm of Coosur Betis, with whom he still has not won after 3 games. Of course, this Sunday he will be able to count on the two recent green-and-white signings: an old acquaintance, the pivot Jêrome Jordan and another Jêrome, Randle, a point guard with long experience in Europe.

He rival in San Pablo will be Fuenlabrada, who comes from defeating Unicaja last Tuesday at Carpena. Casimiro’s men are obliged to win tomorrow in Bilbao, so as not to put their place in the Cup at risk. The captain, Carlos Suárez, has joined the list of injured in the Malaga team.

The big day of the ACB, With 9 consecutive games, it will end with El Clásico, Real Madrid Barcelona. A duel of stars but especially this time a duel of technicians, Laso and Jasikevicius, with a lot of character. And a duel this time with an extra spice for the Thomas Heurtel case, which has caused an exaggerated reaction in Barcelona for wanting to go, secretly and with deception, to the eternal rival.
