The pre-season is over, which leaves results and sensations of all kinds, with a Spar Girona that still has to fit all the pieces together and find its best version, the Women’s League raises the curtain in Fontajau and does so tomorrow with a duel at height. Uni receives Valencia Basket, one of the candidates for the title. The team will still not be able to count on Marianna Tolo, who has just competed in the World Cup and will not join the team’s discipline until this Thursday, but yes, you will have at your disposal the latest addition: Crystal Bradford.
The player lands to complete the squad, but for now she does so with a trial contract, which will be definitive depending on her performance and if she fits in the dressing room led by Bernat Canut. Bradford, a three that brings a lot of physicality and experience to the WNBA, will be ready to play tomorrow against Valencia, if the manager so requires. Today he already trained on the Fontajau parquetwhere he was able to meet those who will be his companions for a time yet to be determined.
Canute spoke of her. “Obviously it’s a bit fishy, but we’re doing well because we’re repeating a lot of concepts and everyone appreciates that. I expect a process of evolution in it, we’re just now at an early stage. We’re happy that it’s here She is a physical winger, who plays very well without the ball. Hopefully his size will help us defensively and in terms of rebounding”.
The coach has also assessed tomorrow’s match against Valencia, a team that “maintains the block of last season” and that likes to “run”, so it will be vital to maintain a high peak of concentration. “We cannot lack the necessary intensity and mentality; the desire to take the game. We don’t have the background we would like in terms of training, but we hope to go out looking for the win. We can’t let them run and therefore, we can’t lose balls because that will penalize us a lot.”
