Paco García will try to help UEMC RV Baloncesto “find the formula” to win again after two consecutive setbacks. The Blanquivioletas receive Baloncesto Fuenlabrada, a reinforced team and in a good moment of form, against which they will seek the eleventh victory of the course and solve this small gap in results.
Complicated week. “Excuse the state I am in, much better than a few days ago. I am one more victim of this Covid, flu and cold that plagues more than half of Spain. Out of caution, deference and if it serves as an example, I wear a mask and any precaution is insufficient. It has left me tired. I am lucky to have a coaching staff in which Alejandro Paniagua and Álvaro Díz have had to take center stage in several of this week’s sessions and it is possible that they should have been here today, but it is also up to me on good days , not as good or being destroyed as today. We come from a complicated week due to the painful defeat in Oviedo, where we did very few things well and we lost deservedly. When a team does not play, it is difficult to win. It’s also a tough week because several players have been out and haven’t been able to train yet so far this week and it’s Friday. Also some technicians are victims of this virus and let’s see how we move forward with everything to arrive tomorrow in the best conditions.”
Defeat on the Alimerka Oviedo court. “We analyzed it first thing the next day, as is appropriate after such a bad game. We were bad in attack and very bad in defense. The points we lack in attack are what allow us to defend well. If not, we cannot play on the counterattack or with quick transitions and that is what we lack. Oviedo was waiting for us, he knew how to beat us and he did it based on intensity and desire, above basketball, and that cannot happen. It’s a shame because as I told the players on the morning of the 31st, having beaten Melilla and Oviedo, we would now be leaders along with San Pablo Burgos and Movistar Estudiantes. It is painful to have lost that option. As I spoke before about Oviedo with the referees, what we try to do is compete every day, because that way you can win. Although you can lose. The problem is when you don’t compete and that’s what happened to us in Oviedo.”
Problems in team management. “The numbers sing. We had a streak of eight consecutive victories, some of great importance and value, and Mike Torres was injured. We hid the first game well to win in Cáceres, not without suffering, then two teams with very good management come along like Melilla with Alvarado and Oviedo with Chapela, and we have lacked that capacity for leadership and direction in the ‘one’ position. Unfortunately Sergi has not been able to take that step forward and the level that was expected of him. And the arrival of Ziggy is one of the two positive notes of Oviedo, what he can give us and what Juan García-Abril gave us. The team has fallen apart with Mike’s departure and we have to find the formula to win again without Mike on the track. It is difficult to cover that absence of 25 minutes and almost 15 game points, but we have no other choice. Now comes Fuenlabrada, with an also important direction and we have to correct details if we want to win. And those involve scoring our own sonata and not playing to the rival’s.”
Fuenlabrada Basketball. “A team that has been relegated and that has Bellas, Durán, McGrew, Van Zegeren, Aranitovic, Pato Garino, Osas Ehigiator, Jorge Bilbao… is a team that has to be called to be at the top. Let’s see which Fuenlabrada we find, the one that loses by 40 in Tizona or the one that wins on the Coruña court. Despite those two faces they have shown, I have no doubt that, due to potential, they will be one of those who will fight to be in the playoffs and above.”
Devin Schmidt and his disconnections. “We are working on it. The problem is that we have made known a very easy way to decentralize it. He generates a lot of play and perhaps he would have to receive some of the fouls that he does not receive, but you have to play with that. If the referees consider that it is not a foul, it is not, no matter how much he insists that it is. And he has to correct that, but it is something he must do, no one is going to help him on the court. When there are several actions that are not called for, he loses track of the game and that point of concentration. Rivals already know it. There are games in which the opponent knows what he has to do to decenter him.”
Lotanna, also with a disconnection in Oviedo. “It’s a bit the same situation. Sometimes more because he doesn’t get the balls he should get, but it’s the whole team the other day. You take out the minutes of Ziggy and Juan García-Abril and I can’t think of a third party to blame, maybe Puidet, but we weren’t there. And they beat you in desire and intensity. When one runs more than the other, they have a lot of cattle and they took us off the field.”
Ziggy and his potential to be the leader of the team. “Don’t know. What I have seen from him this week is that he assumes more prominence, confirming what we knew about him, that he is super vertical, goes to the basket and that he wants to organize the team. He has a good intensity. From there to becoming a leader within the group there is a long way.”
Kabasele and its incompatibility with the arrival of Zigmantavicius. “No, they are different situations. The agreement with Kabasele is for her to rejoin the group now, although she has been in bed all week, and to give us a period of one month to realize if she is in a position to compete now. We know how she is, that she has been unemployed for 10 months, we can afford to give her a month training with the group and within a month we will decide if we will give her a federation record and she will fully join. Quique Peral told us from the beginning that there was a game for Kabasele and always a small amount, which is what we have had, for Ziggy. Our market and circumstances are what they are. “We have brought in someone with a point of ambition, who accepts the particular conditions that we have as a Club and we have found a good player who is going to help us.”
