The Valencian team&#8217;s only setback came on the first day, when they lost to AzulMarino by 88 to 71. Since then, they have won five consecutive games, the last one against Celta by 81 to 52.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Valencian team has a talented squad, with top-level players from both national and international teams. The former Girona players Chloe Bibby and Mar\u00eda Ara\u00fajo stand out, the point guard Paterson, with an average of 10.6 points per game, and the inside Kiss, who has 10 points, 6.7 rebounds and a rating of 16. It also has national players such as Buenavida, Romero, Carrera and Pueyo, among others. In addition, the Valencians arrive after defeating the current European champion in Istanbul, in a EuroLeague Women match, by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiba.basketball\/en\/events\/euroleague-women-26-27\/games\/135192-FENER-VBC#boxscore\">71 to 73<\/a> .<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About us<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SPAR Girona arrives at the match after achieving an important European victory on the Ostrava court by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiba.basketball\/en\/events\/eurocup-women-26-27\/teams\/spar-girona#games\">58 to 86.<\/a> A match in which Roberto \u00cd\u00f1iguez was able to count on Iyana Mart\u00edn again. With less than 48 hours between matches, fatigue management will be one of the determining factors against a rival with a lot of rotation and a high level of intensity.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Girona coach explained that the preparation for the match has been conditioned by the short recovery time: &#8220;This match is prepared with video and meetings, prioritizing rest&#8221;&#8230; &#8220;For me, with less than 48 hours, we will see how we manage fatigue. It is an unknown how we will respond. We are playing against an intense team, with a lot of rotation.
