Girona, which dazzles in the football league, also wants to do so in the ACB. How things are The calendar was scarier than a hailstorm in Fontajau and after two days the team from Salva Camps, with a new coach and eight signings to join, already has two wins, dominates the classification and gains peace of mind to continue growing as a block. And he has achieved this credibility by putting on the court the style book that the coach proclaims. Fast, colorful basketball, at times spectacular, able to emerge victorious from La Fonteta and make Gran Canaria pass through the scorer (88-64)reigning champion of l’Eurocuptonight at Fontajau. From 22, the team from Girona won at halftime (52-30) after a spectacular first quarter offensively (32-15), and consolidated it in the second. The mastery of the defensive rebound, which for Camps was one of the keys to the triumph in Valencia, has once again given income to Girona, leaving without an answer a Gran Canaria that survived thanks to the inspiration of Bassas and Shurna in the triple An 8-0 run at the start of the third quarter (60-30) ended the game for the locals, under the watch of Marc i Pau Gasol in the marketalthough the Canaries ended up narrowing the gap to a minimum.
If in Montilivi the eyes are capitalized on Savinho, in Fontajau there is a name that is starting to be on everyone’s lips. Ike Iroegbu, a point guard with dual Nigerian and American nationality who drilled baskets in Italy’s Treviso last year, may be the big discovery of the season, at least on the offensive side, because if anything he lacked last year at Girona he was a “shooter” like this. The creature scored 17 points before the break, despite fading a little in the second half, finding an answer to all the defenses that the Canaries have raised and making the team play at a devilish pace, seconded by Marcos and Colom . Another proper name is de Gyorgy Golomán. Hungarian international, has a good hand from the outside and doesn’t wrinkle inside. Iroegbu and Golomán, Golomán and Iroegbu, capitalized on the start of the match, which was immediately put in front by the locals (21-5 after a triple by Columbus, 5/5 the team was leading). Gran Canaria endured the rain as best they could, but at the end of the first quarter they were clearly losing (32-15). In the second quarter, Girona slowed down their scoring rate (22 points), but remained comfortably ahead.
At the start of the third quarter, the home team led by 30 (60-30) with an 8-0 run, with two three-pointers Yves Pons and a whiff of Sorolla, which added to the party started in the first part. Gran Canaria was still thick, maybe even more so, and Fontajau chanted MVP, MVP to a 2+1 by Iroegbu that made the difference +32 (64-32) at 6.12 to close the half. Girona played for pleasure and Pons was the one who monopolized much of the offensive protagonism with a couple of particularly spectacular actions (smaixada and cap mark of the house). With the locals exhausted and losing balls in attack, the Canaries reacted minimally, entering the last quarter losing by 26 (72-46). It has been ten minutes to finish amortizing the price of the ticket or season ticket, with Yves Pons in unchained mode (his 78-48 stunner put Fontajau on the right foot), and Gran Canària, despite dropping a little difference, praying for the nightmare to come to an end. Fontajau has finished making the wave and the team is leading the ACB, who was to say, before facing the visit of Granada on Sunday and receiving Real Madrid the other weekend in the first big game of the season at home.
