Two great teams will be measured. Both entertainers of the domestic tournament, who are still assembling their pieces in the face of a very demanding season.

On the one hand, Institute of Cordoba, commanded by Lucas Victoriano, comes from having a perfect last season. They are the champions of the National League, precisely against Quimsa, in what was an exciting definition. And they also won the last Super 20 Tournament. But they face the challenge of maintaining what they have achieved.

While, Third, from Santiago del Estero, is usually the protagonist in the last seasons of the National League. The Fusion ended up being runner-up after losing to the Gloria in a gripping series that spanned five games. With some incorporations and a change of coach, the people of Santiago want to become champions again.

Those from Alta Córdoba have shown an efficient game this season and have already won 13 of their 17 games, which places them in fourth position in the National League. At this time, he is looking to meet again with the best version of him, after a year-end with some irregularities.

Having recently participated in the BCLA in Montevideo, where they lost to Peñarol and beat Flamengo, this Super Cup seems like the perfect match to add their third title in less than two years.

Nicholas Romanoone of the figures of the Institute, spoke with Clarion and he left his feelings in the preview of the final: “We are preparing well. We are super focused on what is to come, knowing that we not only have to prepare physically but also mentally. You have to be very strong, it is the first final that we are going to play this season and obviously we want it to be with the best results. We are clear that the finals are very even matches, especially against a rival like Quimsa who has great individualities, so it will surely be a very even match and more than anything we hope to offer a nice show”.

The experienced 35-year-old forward comes from being MVP in the duel against Flamengo for the Basketball Champions League of Americas. When asked about the keys to beating Quimsa, he thinks and answers firmly: “First of all you have to really want to win the game, then you have to be very focused. We have a long team, everyone can contribute and the concentration goes to be key to a game of this nature. To beat a rival of this magnitude we have to play an almost perfect game and try to get everyone to contribute. Not focus so much on the rival, but rather be ourselves and play with a lot of intensity”.

Roman is one of the pillars of the Gloria, but a recent injury playing for Gladiadores de Anzoátegui of Venezuela did not allow him to finish the season. He, too, could not return to Argentina to carry out a proper preseason. That is why it was difficult for him to come back and pick up a rhythm right away. However, today he feels in a good moment. The worst is over. “I tried to do everything possible to get to December in the best way. I think the key is to take care of yourself, train and always be strong in the head. Despite my 35 years I believe that you can always be better“, Add.

The Juninense makes an analysis of the team that won the National League in the middle of the year and compares it with the current squad: “Unlike last season’s team, I think this team can rotate a little more, it’s a longer team. The I think we have improved the second unit, but we have to show that game by game. Despite the fact that only 3 players have been incorporated, this is a team that needs to learn how to win again”.

Victoriano maintained the base of the champion team, but also added new pieces. The challenge is to achieve fluency in this 100% national squad and start the year with a title. To do this, Romano is mentalized: “Today we are very good, we are strong. Let’s hope we can bring joy to the people who follow us a lot, who support us and finish the year in the best way“.

in front will be Third. Those from Santiago del Estero arrive sharp at this commitment after having beaten Minas and Biguá in their last two presentations for the BCLA. John Brussino he overtook Clarion how the squad is in the days prior to this great commitment: “The truth is that we are preparing very calmly, we know what we are at stake. We are training hard. We know the rival well, we know their virtues and their defects. There are to try to arrive in the best way as a group and then everything we practiced in training can be reflected on the field of play”, said the player from the Fusion.

The 31-year-old point guard, with a past in the Cordovan team, breaks down the itinerary of action to face the Albirrojo. “You have to try to go out and play, be the protagonist and go out to win the game. That’s going to be fundamental.” And he adds: “The intensity that we put in when playing and the pace are going to be key factors to take the first shot and then It is necessary to know that the Institute is going to come to play its end and it will be necessary to counteract its virtues“.

Quimsa accumulates 10 victories and 4 falls and occupies the sixth position in the table in Manuel Córdoba’s first season in charge of the team. The returnee Brandon Robinson is his top scorer in the local tournament (16.8), Baralle escorts him with 12.3 units and 3.6 assists, while MVP Anderson maintains a scoresheet of 12.1 points and valuable 7.6 rebounds per game.

The return of Juani Brussino is a lap that lengthens the rotation even more, adds solidity in driving and constitutes another attractive element for this definition.

The man from Santa Fe spoke about the quality of the people in this team that never tires of being the protagonist in domestic basketball: “In recent years the club has sought great people, rather than great players. And that remains. We have a new coach and I am trying to adapt to his philosophy, his way of training and obviously I am predisposed for what he asks of me for the team. That’s why I came, to try to provide the best, enjoy and continue wearing the colors of an institution that represents me a lot.“.

Brussino is clear that the objective of the Fusion It is always fighting for the National League. Finishing the year with a trophy would give them the necessary momentum to return to the big shots. “Now we have to lay the foundations to build a path and obviously the goal is going to be the National League again. Playing this kind of game at the start of the season is very nice, exciting and the truth is that we have to take it with great enthusiasm as a team and as an institution”, concluded the point guard.
