The three defeats he suffered as a visitor during the last tour that went through Corrientes and Formosa and the results of the last dates that they played in the week, left Gimnasia behind in the positions of the National Basketball League, due to the fact that he went to the last trip with second place in standings and came back with fifth. The next commitment will be on Sunday, January 9 in Río Gallegos when he visits Hispano, while he will return to Socios on Wednesday 12 when he receives San Martín de Corrientes.
The contrasts delayed him and left him with a record of five losses, but in the same way he shares the fifth step with Ferro and Peñarol, who comes on a great streak by celebrating against the same rivals that Gymnastics had, that is, against Regatas, San Martín and La Unión, and recently surpassing the local leader Quimsa de Santiago del Estero.
But without good in some of the three games he had some opportunities to fight the final result, he had very different moments as he was very irregular and changeable, because in certain sections he played very well and made an interesting difference, although later he did not manage to consolidate it, while In others, at first he was widely overcome and after a few minutes he managed to react and get closer, but the final effort was not enough. Each one of his proposals lacked consistency and it ended up being a bad start, which deprived him of giving greater appreciation to the excellent campaign he has been carrying out at a local where he has won everything and shown very convincing versions; what’s more, a victory in Corrientes or Formosa would have placed him on the third step.
But behind was the bad closing of the year – it still met all the expectations of being the protagonists of the competition by always moving in the first places – and the second stage is coming with more expectations, because at the restart of training it could put Ayan Núñez de Carvalho on the court, a player who promises a lot and who, due to injury, has only been able to be in two games in the Super 20, is that he would begin to train normally, along with his teammates and would be part of the team promptly. Is that the player comes from a leading foray into the Argentine League, being one of the scorers, and was hired by Gimnasia, but he was only on a couple of dates and since then he has been recovering from his injury. Without being able to get well, the squad will extend the constant rotation to 10 players and will be a very good alternative to give Marcus Elliott rest, who although he has been irregular like the team and who has shot with low percentages, has a good goal average. .
News in the League
The competition will return on Wednesday, January 5 with certain precautions, precautions and seeking to comply with the requirements of some provinces that will require the health pass, and more than anything because there have been some positive cases and they already had to be postponed a couple of games by close contacts, such as Unión-Atenas and Ferro-Platense.
