Class Bàsquet Sant Antoni does not want to get off the triumphant wagon and seeks its sixth victory of the season on the Brisasol-Salou A track, which it visits from 6:15 p.m. Those from Portmany are chasing the sixth victory of the course in the East group of the LEB Plata, in which they are at the top of the table; Quite the opposite of this weekend’s rival, who is penultimate (at the beginning of the day) but who Carles Flores, the San Antonio’s coach, does not trust.
«It will be a difficult game because, apart from the fact that Salou needs a win to get out of the bottom of the table, it is the first game they will play at home this season. They will want to offer their best version. It is a team with new parts that are just being adapted. They compete very well. Except in Menorca, in all the other games they have competed very well”, declared the coach, who expects “a game that is hard to break” and in which it will probably reach “the last minutes with equality”.
But his team is making “good decisions” in these tight duels and confidence is maximum. He asks for a high level and rhythm, starting “from the defense” and to “attack more times than them”. A formula that if applied can lead them to victory. That and the good moment that the Sant Antoni block is going through, which it has not lost since it did so on the second day, on October 12, against Hestia Menorca (82-72). «We arrived at a good moment, not so much because of the victories in a row, which helps the team to believe in the work and in being more courageous, but because every day we are playing better. We are at a very high level of confidence,” said the San Antonio coach.
Sant Antoni comes from winning at home against Recambios Gaudí Mollet (87-75), while Salou lost last weekend against Cartagena (70-66). The Catalans have only won two games and have lost five to date.
