Czech shooting guard David Jelínek has minutes in today’s UCAM friendly against Real Madrid, the last of the preseason
It certainly hasn’t been the tour of pre-season friendlies that Sito Alonso and his ‘staff’ would have wanted. UCAM closes this afternoon in Puertollano its preparatory matches for a season, this one, which starts next Wednesday (Thursday in the case of the Murcians) in double competition, a combination of an Endesa League which will last two matches when the October 4 returns to Champions League to the palace.
And it’s that the extremely tight FIBA calendar, unwilling to give up its arm to spin with the private power leagues, in the case of the Euroleague or the Endesa League itself, means a long nine-month season starts in a few days. , while the Eurobasket in Germany is not even finished yet.
Circumstance that, depending on how you see it, you are more bothered by one or the other. The best teams, who generally have the best players, usually spend more time in the preseason without their stars moving on. Real Madrid, UCAM’s rival, will not have Spaniard Rudy Fernández today, as well as French Guerschon Yabusele and Vincente Poirier.
On the other hand, whites have enough cabinet depth not to miss anyone. Yes, they will be available today for Chus Mateo, who, eleven years after the arrival of the Vitorian Pablo Laso on the white bench, reveals the Balkan Dzanan Musa and Mario Hezonja, two of the summer signings in Europe for the current national champion.
Sito beats David Jelínek, who took the longest to arrive in Murcia after competing with the Czech Republic in the European Championship. Radovic, McFadden and Pustovyi premiered last Thursday with victory (the second in four games), the university students already have the entire first team. Of course, save for surprise, there will be no more friendlies before next Thursday’s league debut against Breogán. And it’s against one of the favorites to win everything in Europe. For better or for worse, testing for UCAM ends today in the most disastrous preseason in recent years.
