Afani\u00f3n CB Almansa has set a very high physical bar and the team led by Quim Costa has not been able to counter it on either side of the field. The result was an unmitigated defeat (46-66), which leaves the team in fifth place in the East group of LEB Plata (4-2). Of course, only one victory away from the leader.   &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>From the beginning, the people of Girona have been eager to go towing. The opposition demanded a lot from him physically and their alternative defenses made him feel uncomfortable and, when they did not force turnovers, forced him to take shots out of position. The team, without the possibility of locating the transition game, has been ceding ground until it is -15 in the middle of the second quarter (16-31, 15&#8242;). Raising the pressure line and not giving CB Almansa so many facilities to score near the basket, B\u00e1squet Girona found themselves comfortable on the court for the first time just before half-time, but this resulted in the score (26-38). The passage through the changing rooms did not alter the dynamics of the match and, with Harris very inspired, the Mancheque team threatened to distance themselves for good, when the third quarter had not yet ended (30-52, 27&#8242;). Despite not having fluidity, the team did not throw in the towel, aware that there were still many minutes ahead. He tried to increase the defensive tone, but could never get close enough to aspire to victory, penalized by his offensive inaccuracy. For dessert, Nil Angelats injured his abductor in the third quarter and was unable to return to the court.       &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The next senior game will be next Saturday, November 10, at the JASEP Fundaci\u00f3n Globalcaja La Roda court (7 p.m.).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>*Quim Costa&#8217;s assessment:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;We didn&#8217;t have a chance. We were penalized by two things, that they are a much stronger, faster and bigger team than us and, as I feared, their tactical variations in defense, changing at every block, disorientated us. And seeing that we couldn&#8217;t find a way to be fluid in attack, we got frustrated and also lowered the defensive level. They were able to play comfortably.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;We made 29% on two-point shots and 14% on three-pointers. With those percentages, it&#8217;s impossible. But this game will be good for us to learn and, when we meet again, know how to deal with this type of defense.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/competiciones.feb.es\/estadisticas\/Partido.aspx?p=2011100&amp;med=0\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Statistics<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Photo: Sergi Geron\u00e8s<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The senior does not find his game at any time, loses against Afani\u00f3n CB Almansa (46-66) and now credits 4-2 in the East group of LEB Plata<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8655,"menu_order":0,"template":"","categoria_noticia":[],"class_list":["post-24626","noticia","type-noticia","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.0 -
