New opportunity in Pontevedra

Básquet Girona will play tomorrow (4:00 p.m.) at the Marín Ence Peixe Galego track with the aim of adding their first away win

| Friday, 12 April 2019

Girona Basketball will be reunited with a rival who already took the victory in the first round match in Fontajau (63-70), in a last quarter where Jordan Gregory became the executioner of the Girona players with 24 points

Although the previous week the Galicians fell at Villarrobledo (98-75), the team coached by Javier Llorente did not fare badly in the first round of this second phase. In fact, it has given a punch on the table by beating rivals from the upper zone such as Alicante and Murcia. These victories, combined with the one he achieved in Girona, add up to a total of 3 in 7 games and it is a coincidence that they have been away from Galicia.
Therefore, Marín’s team is the only team that has not yet made its debut in front of its fans and this keeps it away from the privileged positions – it is eighth with a record of 7-9 – .

In the same way as in the match a month ago, the Girona players will have to pay close attention to Gregory’s scoring streak (15.6 points per game), to the versatility of Badmus (10.3 points and 8.4 rebounds), to the intimidation of Vashil Fernández (2 blocks per game) and to the leadership of his point guard Gerard Sevillano (13.7 points and 16.7 rating average).

*Alex Formento assessment:

” We have to confirm the step forward that we gave last Saturday, where we were more comfortable on the track”.

“It is a compact block that, if it comes, does not have a very long rotation, it has 8 players who are having very good games at this stage. They are coming off a tough defeat, so they will definitely want to get back at us “.
