The first team will play away from home against Tizona Universidad de Burgos in the second duel of the permanence phase between the two teams. The match will be played this Friday, April 30 (19:00) at the Polideportivo Municipal el Plantio (Burgos). In the first meeting of the season between the two clubs, Basketball Girona won 93-73.

The team from Burgos, led by Lluís Riera Martí, played its last game last April 23 against ZTE Real Canoe, which it lost 90-82 in favor of the Madrid team. “We have to think that the home games they have played, they have won them, that if we play at their pace it will be difficult to beat them, especially in high scores… therefore we have to be tough, show our pillars, defend well, protect the paint, don’t let them make easy baskets and score shots because they have a very good 3-point percentage.” commented Carles Marco in the preview of the match.

Tizona Universidad de Burgos is currently in eighth position in the standings, with a record of four wins and nine losses. Within the large squad that the Burgos team has, it has a very strong core of players, who accumulate a lot of appreciation within the team. In the scoring section, we find the team’s top scorer Ayoze Alonso, center Diamil Barro and winger Khristopher Joseph. The players Barro, Ayoze and Iván Matínez are the most outstanding players in the rebounding section, where they stand out forcefully compared to the rest of the squad. Burgos’ top assists in the second phase of the league are Ayoze Alonso, Ivan Martínez and Brian Starr.

Statements Carlos Marco

“It’s good playing at home, with a player like Ayoze who is in incredible condition, but with another player who is key for me, which is Uriz, because of the experience, because it will be his last games in the category … And then, they have players in good shape, Galarreta, Spencer returns, Joseph, Ivan Martinez … and with the consistency of Barro, with the help of Sow and Ryan Nicholas. .. A team with fewer rotations, and that at home have a different rhythm, a different hit, and that we have to play not to let them run, to make easy shots… basic things that we train and that are key in our team.”
