Spar Girona-Bembibre: The penultimate sprint to close the year 2022 on top of everything

The holidays are there to celebrate them, but in moderation. Last weekend was a seen and unseen for Spar Girona who, after winning last Friday in the Cádí la Seu (67-57), this Tuesday again has league with the visit of Bebibre (20.00 hours/Esport3) in what will be the last duel of 2022 as a local and which will also serve to say goodbye to the express reception at the pavilion of Palau-sacosta considering that the Christmas circus has forced the team to move from Fontajau. In addition, it will mean the penultimate sprint of those of Bernat Canut, who will finish the first lap in four days at Tenerife with the challenge of closing the year on top of everything. Right now they are co-leaders in the classification with the same wins (10) and losses (3) as the Valencia. The struggle for leadership does not forgive, not even that it is Christmas.

In this sense, the second coach, Laura Antoja, recalls that “this is an important match for us because we want to finish the first round confirming the very good feelings of the last few days”. The technical assistant is convinced that “we have the lead within reach”: “We have to take advantage of the fact that we are playing at home against a rival who is causing a lot of problems for the teams”.

Of course, Antoja acknowledges that “we are playing in Palau and it is not comfortable for us either, but we are really looking forward to it and we want to finish with good feelings”. And saying goodbye to 2022 alongside the fans with a victory would be the icing on the cake of the good year Uni has had.

About the Bembibre, which has the pivot wing of Roses Laia Moya in the squad, Antoja comments that “he is one of the revelations of this season and he plays basketball well, he won’t make it easy for us”. At the same time, he adds that “she has an outside game that we know with players like Roselis Silva i Ainhoa ​​Lacorzana, which generate danger: one by span and the other by pick and roll because it is very generative». “We will also have to have the focus of attention on Erin Whalen because she is a very complete player, who can shoot from outside, penetrate, plays well without the ball… Let’s combine this with the two fives who are very different, one of which is Vanessa Austin which inside is very big and powerful in the offensive rebound. It’s a team that works well as a team and will make us roll up our sleeves and get to work after parties and nougats.”
