Acunsa Gipuzkoa Basket has a new challenge this weekend with a view to its goal of leaving the hot zone of qualifying. The Gipuzkoans have added two victories in fourteen rounds, records that force them to urgently add, as soon as possible, a third victory that allows them to take a breath and regain confidence in their game. They will try this Sunday against Valencia Basket (6:45 pm) at La Fonteta, in the first of three games they will play in a week.
The Argentine coach of the Gipuzkoan squad, Marcelo Nicola, stressed in the days leading up to this clash that “we are eager to move on and keep improving, in line with the last matches. For now we do not have any casualties. Rafaela’s coach has indicated that his group “must improve a lot in concentration. The start is going to be difficult, but we have to go out as usual, with attitude and wanting to fight and compete.
Regarding what is expected of the match, the Gipuzkoa Basket coach stressed that “I expect a difficult match because it is a Euroleague rival. Valencia is a team with a deep and talented squad ». Those of Jaume Ponsarnau, an old acquaintance of the GBC fans, are signing an irregular campaign, where center Bojan Dubljevic stands out with 45% of triples and power forward Louis Labeyrie.
Finally, Nicola clarified the reason why Brandone Francis has not played in recent games: “it’s for technical reasons.”
