Markel Brown arrived at Fontajau to be one of the team’s offensive referencesbut until the Murcia match on Saturday his performance had generated more doubts than certainties. The club had placed a vote of confidence in him, taking into account that it was difficult for him to recover from the injury he suffered in the pre-season, and in one of the most difficult moments for the Girona players this season – especially morale- he answered.
Even without the display in the last quarter, he would have already completed the best game in the Básquet Girona shirt. In fact, he was the team’s top scorer at halftime with 10 points, and from his hands also came the first and last basket of the team in the first half. But his last 16 points were not worth the same as the first 13. When the ball was burning in the hands of some players of the Girona team and Murcia’s sudden comeback had put the game very uphill, Brown raised the spirits of the Fontajau crowd, the rest of the team and possibly, also, it will be a before and after in his confidence level. «It’s a great win after three defeats in a row, we really played hard. I am happy to have been able to help the team secure this victory», assured Brown at the end of the match.
His success (with 6/10 in three-pointers) was decisive, but above all it must be valued the ability to assume responsibility in a delicate moment, which was precisely what was missing from him in previous engagements. All in all, his coach, Salva Camps, frames it in the adaptation process he is still carrying out. «He comes from another place, with other habits and customs, and he is here with a coach who demands a lot on a day-to-day basis», recalled Camps.
Waiting for points, the coach from Badalona ensured after the duel against the Murcians delighted with the attitude of the American in training in recent weeks, and is confident that he will be able to contribute in many other aspects of the game if he continues in this way. In fact, after last Wednesday’s session, Camps congratulated the escort from Louisiana and expressed full confidence that he would have a great game on Saturday. And Brown did not fail him. 30 points and a 2+1 in the last minute which were worth a very meritorious victory, due to the rival’s organization but above all due to the team’s ability to overcome the negative part of the third quarter. «Murcia is a very tough team. It’s always good to win and learn lessons», declared the American, that on a day when Iroegbu had a more discreet version and another of the great references, Quino Colom, was injured, assumed all the leadership and allows Básquet Girona to look up again in the classification.
Debut with two sides
Aside from Brown, the other player who starred yesterday is the rookie Corey Davis. Lafayette’s is going to end scoring six decisive points in the last quarter, but he also saw some shortcomings in the third period in partial full time of UCAM, when he lost five balls. Salva Camps stated that “he was happy with his performance but admitted that he lacks “competitive pace».
