End the negative dynamic with a win

To win. Básquet Girona and Covirán Granada need to win. Both teams are looking for a win that will give them a boost that will help them get closer to their goal of staying up. They share goals and, memories of victories and defeats are similar, but the narrative of the two sets are very different. Fotis Katsikaris, the new coach of Basketball Girona, has just landed. He has been in the Girona capital for four days, on the other hand, Turkey Pin, was born, raised and trained in the city of Granada. All this lacks meaning if no victories are added.

Basketball Girona must end the negative streak of seven consecutive defeats as soon as possible. A ghost they have to scare. Fotis explained in his presentation that in this first week he wants to work on the mental aspect and then on the tactical work and that’s how it has been. In the previous press conference he explained: “The team is ready for tomorrow (today), especially mentally. We are ready to win and they really want to win.” Physically or mentally, the Girona team must win to put an end to this dynamic.

Sergi Martínez and Juani Marcos could reappear. Rubí’s winger hasn’t competed for three weeks due to an injury to the triceps tendon in his right arm, and the Argentine base would return after a week without playing. He fell back on the muscle problems he suffered in the abductor at the start of the competition. The coach of Basketball Girona has also spoken about these two players, who have had an important role in the team “They are not at 100% but they will be there. We will manage his presence on the track”. Everything suggests that the players will force their situation to help their teammates in this match which we can call of abysmal importance.

Covirán Granada arrives in Girona after Barça (61-94) beat them. They have 6 wins and 13 losses. In the last seven games they have won three games, giving the surprise against Valencia Basket and winning against Zunder Palència and Monbus Obradoiro. Pablo Pin’s team announced after the defeat against Barça the release of two players and they have added the pivot to their ranks Malik Dime. A player who uses his physique to play above the basket. It will help them on the defensive side, an aspect they are having more problems with.

Within the squad, they have two high-level players, as they are Cristiano Felicio, former Chicago Bulls player for six seasons, the Brazilian pivot is one of the most incisive players in the area. He uses strength and his back-to-the-basket game to score. In the external section, there are two players who are playing at a very high level, as they are Lluís Costa and Joe Thomasson. The Catalan is having an impressive season, being the national base with the best rating per party. He has managed to step up his game, being able to score and at the same time direct his teammates. Joe Thomasson, who arrived last season to help them stay in the competition, is the leader of the Andalusian side. Able to score, assist and referee matches in the hottest moments. The new Girona manager has also spoken about these players, who will have to defend themselves very well: “Cristiano Felicio, Joe Thomasson, Lluís Costa a scorer and generator for his teammates and Kwan Cheetam from long distance can do a lot of damage. We have to do a great job in collective defense and make very few mistakes.” The Fotis era must start with a win.
