Basketball Girona, trial by fire in the yellow feud

The Gran Canarias have their most important challenge of the season next week, but before that, they will have to face Bàsquet Girona in the Endesa League. The game will be played this Sunday, at 12:00 (HIC).

After proclaiming themselves finalists in the Eurocup beating Joventut Badalona at home (89-86), the team led by Jaka Lakovic is already working towards the match that awaits them on Sunday at the Gran Canaria Arena. Although it is true that the islanders face the most important challenge of the year next Wednesday, a game against Girona is not to be taken lightly.

Gran Canaria faces this match at a key moment of the season. With the Eurocup grand final at stake, those from Lakovic will play the match against Bàsquet Girona and will face it as a preparation prior to the match against Turk Telekom. The Canarian team is still seventh in league competition, with a record of 17 wins and 12 losses. Despite having lost in the last match against Barça, the truth is that Gran Canaria arrives with morale intact to face the team led by Aíto García Reneses, a very important figure in the history of the Claretian entity. It will be a match for the fans to continue supporting the team as they have been up to now. It is the most important moment of the season, so players and fans must be united to achieve victory.

Bàsquet Girona, led by a figure of Spanish and world basketball such as Marc Gasol, will travel to the island also going through a crucial moment, as they continue to fight to get away from the red zone of the table. There are 10 wins and 19 losses for the Catalans, who are now fourteenth, two wins behind Covirán Granada, the team that marks the relegation zone today. Salvation is still very expensive, so Aíto García Reneses’s team will try to get a victory in an always complicated field like the Gran Canaria Arena. On the other hand, on an individual level, those from Girona have the good level offered by Kameron Taylor, who averages 14.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, and with the experience of a basketball legend like Marc Gasol.
