The queen of Spar Gran Canaria is back in a big way. Astou Ndourlast Wednesday, a decade later, the Spar Gran Canaria jersey was put on on the parquet of The Paterna to help the team end its bad streak in the Endesa Women’s League and add a vital victory for permanence against the last classified, Embutidos Pajariel Bembibre. The Spanish-Senegalese woman achieved a PIR of 12 on her return, after completing a double-double (11 points and 10 rebounds). And in that special moment, he also erected the figure of the captain of the island squad, the Senegalese Adji Fall. The young youth player uncovered the jar of essences to crown herself, in the shadow of the queen, the first MVP of the day in his professional career: 41 rating with a contribution of 19 points, 17 rebounds and six assists.
The life of the WNBA ring holder and Olympic medalist runs parallel to that of her young compatriot. Like Astou, Adji left her native Senegal to put himself in the hands of Domingo Díaz and Begoña Santana. She began a hard path, marked by daily work and by that spirit of improvement that in the Canary Islands they are used to extracting from those girls who arrive to the Island with suitcases full of hope. As the already consecrated Ndour did at her time.
Sika Koné was in charge of transmitting the club’s very particular DNA to the young captain of the Canary Islands
It is true that on this journey the captain of Spar Gran Canaria did not have the fortune of sharing a dressing room with her reference, who forged her legend far from the Island, leaving her mark in the best leagues in Europe and in the WNBA, in addition to her successful time for the Spanish national team.
In that parenthesis, Adji had another source of inspiration from which to learn the trade. The Malian Sika Koné, currently in the ranks of Perfumerías Avenida, was in charge of transmitting the DNA made in La Paterna to take another step in her training. This, over the years, has led her to be one of the natural leaders on the court despite her introverted nature away from it.
A dream come true
Spar Gran Canaria is going through a difficult time in the current season. Against Embutidos Pajariel Bembibre, the yellow team added their fourth victory of the current season. The sports management has worked to strengthen the squad in order to get out of the relegation zone of the table. And we are in that fight. Now, the team has only one win less than Celta and Barça.
The first move was to close the incorporation of a player from another dimension, and thus an old dream of Fall’s was fulfilled. He had the opportunity to share a dressing room with a legend from his country, Senegal, and from Spar Gran Canaria itself. Astou Ndour returned to his house a decade later.
Everything indicates that the eternal 45 will only remain in the team of her loves until the end of the season, enough time to complete the training of her best possible heir and once again be the best example of the young women from different African countries who see in the CB Islas Canarias is the ideal environment to try to make the leap to professionalism in a world as competitive as women’s basketball, in which many try but only a select few succeed.
A halo of hope opens in the Spar after the first game with both stars sharing minutes in the team’s interior game. Although Bembibre is probably the weakest team in the category, it is a good start. We will have to try to confirm it on Saturday against Lointek Gernika Bizkaia (7:30 p.m.).
