Looking for continuity

Basketball Girona will play tomorrow (8 p.m.) in the Balearic Islands against Hestia Menorca with the aim of extending the dynamic of three consecutive victories to four

| Tuesday, 11 December 2018

With the season so advanced, no match is less important than another and Básquet Girona does not want to be surprised, despite the three consecutive victories, by the Menorcan team. In the first leg, the Girona team won the match by 86-65 but, except for the last quarter where the locals extended their lead (22-12), the game was tied.

It’s true that the Menorcans have had ups and downs, stringing together four consecutive defeats in the first four games, but they have also been able to beat top teams in the league such as Almansa and Villarrobledo. One of the keys to the game will be defense. Menorca scores an average of 79 points when they win but only 65 when they lose (matches the points they converted in Fontajau). On the other hand, you will have to watch out for players like wing-pivot Andreu Matalí (13, 4 rating), point guard Javier Hernández (4 assists per match) or American escort Richaud Pack (13 points per party).

*Quim Costa’s assessment:

“We must forget that we have won or that we are in a good moment. We have to face Wednesday’s game looking at what lies ahead and not with what we have left behind”.

“The Menorca track is difficult, we know it from last year’s EBA league. If we want to keep adding, we will have to play at a higher level than what they can offer us”.
