Party of so-called trap. It is not that you have to put the band-aid before the possible injury, but beware of the duel that Gran Canaria faces on Saturday night at the Príncipe Felipe against a Casademont Zaragoza (7:45 p.m., Movistar Deportes 2) that grows when he plays in his pavilion. And it is that three of the greats of the competition with the Euroleague label have already fallen this season: Barça, Real Madrid and Valencia Basket.
First, by classification the Crab should show superior in the Aragonese capital. In the Claretian box they already have 16 victories, one of those they signed last season, although with the drawback that away from the Arena the yellow team is not entirely reliable.
for now The future of the Claretians as a visitor has been written by the paths of defeat. Although he began by winning three games away in his first four outings, since then he has only been victorious on one occasion of the next seven times he took the plane to face the Endesa League.
However, despite the fact that Casademont Zaragoza shines with the victories against the Euroleague trio on the performance sheet, His balance as a local is not positive eitherWell, of the twelve nights that Prince Felipe has opened the doors in the national competition, five have been the times that he has won by seven defeats.
His career at home went from a worrying 2-6 start on the Aragonese stadium to the 5-7 he has now, as a result of his last three victories –Betis, Barça and Valencia– in the four games played at home after losing to El Obradoiro for a very tight 78-79 and in which they almost performed a major miracle by reducing the difference by 18 points and ending up losing in extra time against the Santiago team Mekowulu missed a last free kick.
Precisely in that game, the so-called next national basketball star shone with his own light: Aday Mara. The youth player – on Friday he came of age – signed 15 points and 5 rebounds and is constantly progressing to show that he is more than worthy for the Endesa League.
So you should tread carefully Granca que recuperia a Jaka Lakovic to direct his team after completing the cycle of four sanction games which he had to assume after the Sole Judge of the competition dismissed the two appeals presented by the island club and they were dismissed.
Now, and despite the fact that Jaka warned in the previous one that he does not want the referees to look at him in a different way from now on, the Claretian squad can somehow manage the penalizing damage during the matches so that they tighten more in depending on what moments from the bench area.
The one who can also recover the yellow team compared to the match played on Tuesday against Joventut Badalona is Vítor Benite, who will rush until the last moment to find out what state he is in with his calf tear that he suffered at the beginning of the week.
The one who will be sure is Damien Inglis, who surprised with his return precisely against La Penya and left behind his knee and ankle injury suffered against Coviran Granada.
