Celta Zorka Recalvi faces the final stretch of the season, that moment when everything is decisive. There are two days left until the end of the regular league and the team vigoes still He has not guaranteed permanence, but this afternoon he has the opportunity to do so or, at least, to reach the last game depending on himself.
After losing the last two games in the last quarter, Cristina Cantero’s team visits Lointek Gernika Bizkaia today, ranked tenth but with options to get into the play-off for the title, which is just one win away. A victory for the celestials, linked to a defeat of Gran Canaria on their court against Kutxabank Araski – the islanders will play at 8:00 p.m. already knowing the result of the Vigo team -, it would mean sealing salvation with one day remaining. If both win or lose their matches, Celta would reach the last match – in Navia against the already relegated Bembibre – depending on itself, but if the celestials lose and both the Gran Canaria like Barça -which hosts Girona- win, they would face that final day depending on the result of the Canary Islands next week in their visit to Spar Girona.
The accounts are clear, but Celta Zorka Recalvi is focused solely on beating Gernika today, which arrives at the event in a negative dynamic, after lose their last four games. The Basques achieved a brilliant victory against Zaragoza (64-56), third, on March 9, and since then they have fallen against Girona, Barça, Jairis and IDK. From being seventh, one point away from fourth, they have moved to that tenth place which, for the moment, keeps them out of the play-off.
The team coached by Lucas Fernández won in Navia in the first round (69-79) thanks above all to the external success of Stephanie Watts, who scored 29 points -7 of 8 on triples-, and Roso Buch (10), and the direction of its bases Itziar Aritzimuño and Laia Flores, although it also has quality interiors, such as the French Milapie or the Portuguese Sofía Gomes. “We must be very serious at the back and I think the key is going to be, as I always say, in the rebound, but also in emotional control. We can’t get out of control as a step in the last two games,” says Cantero, who has all the players for this decisive event.
