Basketball & Heartbreak – Basket Pasion


It is no longer about making a preview or a chronicle. It’s not about being strictly a journalistic writer, which I have never been because I always wrote from the heart. And that’s what I come to today. To try to write with a divided heart. This weekend, day 16, on Saturday the 17th at 7 p.m., at the Ángel Nieto Pavilion, which was my home and will continue to be, for sure, every time I go, my two soul teams face each other. He Fustecma NBF Castelló travel to Zamora to play against Recoletas Zamora.

What if I would like to be there?

Let no one doubt it, just as I was at the first game of the season in Grapa when the Zamoranas visited the Castellón players.

A match that is supposed to be exciting and that will have nothing to do with the first. But, for sure, it will become a game that will mark an era, at least for me.

Thinking back to the first leg, back on September 27, Recoletas Zamora won in Grapa 56 – 68, in the face of all the adversities of the preseason that the Zamora team suffered in the form of injuries. So much so that the training before the game was the first time that the team was able to train with all its pieces.

And the truth is that the scoreboard does not reflect the equality that existed at all times. Yes, a weak third quarter by Fustecma NBF Castelló tipped the balance to the west, but Jaume Tormo’s team never lost the rhythm of the game.

Sendy Basáez, Aina Ferri and Luz Mía de Giacomo They stood out as the attacking champions of their team with 14, 12 and 10 points respectively. Meanwhile, on the orange side, a former member of the Blue Tide, Florence Niskiplayed a masterful game against her former teammates, with 18 points scored. The great player and friend accompanied her Bea Sanchez with 13 points and Fatou Pouye con 10.

It was in that game where Aina Martín gave us a scare, which would later be an injury that kept her away from the field for several weeks, but it did not amount to a ligament tear.

What will it be?

Well, the truth is that in addition to it being a nice match, Fustecma NBF Castelló has serious doubts because Aina Ferri and Soul Bourgarel, the two bases of the team are injured and will have to be Sendy Basáez the one who takes the lead, and knows how to do it, along with Lourdes Ruiz.

But this time we also have the presence of Gianna Aiello who has been contributing a lot since she arrived and who will surely take a step forward to establish herself as the leader of a team full of leaders and a great coaching staff.

But today we found out that our Mody, Magdalene has left the club. And the truth is that it is very sad. Great person to whom we wish all the best in his personal and professional life.

It remains to be seen if anyone will fill the gap left by our “Miss World.”

We will see it from a distance. We will see it on Canal Feb TV to the extent that its broadcast allows us to see it. And I already know that in basketball there can’t be a tie. But:

“I will cry for the tie”
