The Black Friday when the Coosur Betis hopes to close its black week. Son of Marko Todorovic, the best player in terms of statistics of the Seville team who packed his suitcase on the way to China; sin Carrington, disengaged in search of better after his 0/19 in triples in the last nine games; and with the sound of the exit from Joan Plaza, who could face his last match at the head of the Sevillian team, which very possibly will leave the bottom of the Endesa League, the Verdiblanco team finally has to play and talk only about basketball. The (bad) news has rushed in this week, and will continue in the next (hopefully better), which ends with the difficult visit to Real Madrid (12:30), a match in which the Betis’ options are scarce and the objective is to compete with dignity so as not to return with another severe defeat in the bag.
The Sevillian team has not given the best possible benefits and You can’t expect a big change at the Wizink Center, although in sport 2 + 2 is not always four. You have to play and perhaps without any possibility on paper, without Todorovic playing with one gear less and Carrington off-center due to his failures, the minutes will focus more on players who are involved in dynamics and are eager to surprise the season.
However, reality marks something else and After a double day of the Euroleague, Pablo Laso’s team faces a less demanding crash on paper to refresh your players. Today is reality. But you have to play and one day the triples, like in Valencia, will come back in; Someday the automatisms in defense will work and in attack the team will stop moving the ball away from the rival ring, passing it from hand to hand to make a fast and agile basketball in which the shooters are freed and some interior join Burjanadze in the fight in the paint.
Laso’s men arrive after a double Euroleague matchday in which they beat Red Star and Asvel
Despite having lost going out and forcing a negotiation with the club (which was counting on him and a dismissal cannot be allowed), there is no doubt that Plaza will squeeze its players to the end in search of surprise, although there is the reasonable doubt to see how anyone responds knowing that the coach has a foot and a half out and that there is already talk openly about contacts of the entity with Luis Casimiro to relieve him, in what would also be his second stage in Seville.
Of the shock, little to say. Before the great ones it is the same of always. You have to play the perfect match and hope that the opponent does not have his day. None of his players, because Pablo Laso’s wardrobe is such that anyone wins the match. Being applied in defense is a challenge for the team that concedes the most points of the entire Endesa League, which is the one that commits the most losses and also the one that scores the fewest points. Quite a challenge against a Real Madrid that is the most valued in the championship, the fourth that scores the most points and the third best rebounder, other of the Heliopolitan evils who find it difficult to close their rebound and grant too many second options to the rival on duty, in case the Green and Whites did not already grant enough.

Talking about the benefits of Real Madrid is repetitive every year. The day that Llull does not decide with a mandarin, Tavares imposes his law under the boards, Rudy o Talker they finish the game from the triple. OR Hanga, Abalde, Heurtel, Poirier, Yabusele or company … The scoring ability is what will mark Betis’s options, since in defense it is difficult to stop the whites. This requires the best Bertans outside, a Evans that marks differences in the one against one or one Bleijenbergh that comes up on a great stage against a great rival. It will also be necessary that Pasecniks take a step forward without Todorovic, already knowing what Agbelese gives of yes, and what Brown board understand that basketball is a team game.
Then we will see what happens. Two weeks of stoppage through the FIBA windows will be good for Betis to get some air, recalibrate the road book, find the signings that should help the team to get back on the right track and the captain of the boat, since the messages between the lines of Plaza they’re clear. His second Sevillian adventure is over. Thanks for everything. And good luck to the next.
The FIBA windows will leave Betis in the box this week
The Verdiblanco team does not have Spanish internationals, but the team will lose more than half of its current squad in next week’s FIBA windows for the first matches of the qualifying round for the 2023 World Cup. They will go with their national teams. Bleijenberg (Belgium), Bertans (Latvia), Spiers (Sweden), Burjanadze (Georgia) and Evans (Guinea). The case of the base is especially relevant, since if he makes his debut with the African team, he will have a cotonou card, releasing that of extra-community, vital aspect facing the reconfiguration that the club must do to sign the relays of Marko Todorovic and Carrington. Regarding Burjanadze, it will be measured against Spain in Jaén next Monday, November 29. Latvia faces Serbia; and Belgium will do it against Slovakia.
