Sito Alonso’s team will take their first win at the Palacio in the Endesa League against a team that has just been promoted
After three official competition matches, UCAM’s game leaves a lot to be desired. Nothing to alarm, as other than being a small sampling of what will bring a season with a much higher number of games than the previous one (back to Europe), this UCAM is a team with eight new faces. But far from playing well, he has racked up two wins from three attempts. The last, last Tuesday on the opening day of the ‘Champions’ against Tofas, shooting a basket with a success of 28% in field goals. As a criminal to excite the average fan as it is rare to get the win after such a performance.
There’s no urgency, but there’s a little runrún that UCAM won’t elaborate on. The defeat in the palace by a difference of 14 points to a Breogán also plagued by new faces and with much less brilliance in the squad than that of the Murcians could be a simple accident or become something else, depending on what happens today from 12:30 pm
From then on, the ball flies to the roof of the palace for another match in the Endesa League and, again, against a lesser rival, a recently promoted Granada coach led by the youngest coach in the Endesa League, a Pablo Pin, 39 years old (and who has been with the club continuously since 2012 in Nacional, four categories below) and who won at home in Fuenlabrada and was about to do so on the final day against Manresa. That is, one of those duels that you have to win at home if you don’t want to regret it later.
The problems have already started for Sito Alonso. James Anderson, the star of last summer, will be out between four and six weeks after the calf tear he sustained against Tofas last Tuesday. The two-time Euroleague champion left some very cold sensations, but the investment made and the hope to see a player closer to his real level and who does not shy away from the ball in attack will make him miss. Without Anderson and with Rojas back, the discard is postponed for Sito Alonso, who now has twelve players.
In the absence of green shoots in the game, where it is noticed and how much uphill the official competition is doing with Travis Trice after a promising preseason, the UCAM draws character. The same one who was missing against Breogán was the one who led a spectacular start in Zaragoza and made him win the game against Tofas. Strong point: An intense defense and a proud rebound (47 and 55 in the last two games), essential ingredients to be able to run on offense and not be forced to play positional if the systems still don’t work. And of course the gunpowder of McFadden’s free verse, in a state of grace.
Today, Murcian fans will also be able to pay tribute to the most remarkable basketball player in their history, Laura Gil (Murcia, 1992). The 30-year-old power forward, who has been badly damaged by injuries in recent seasons, is currently without a team for the first time in her career.
With 134 caps for the senior national team and seven medals to her name (including three golds at Eurobasket), the Murcian will receive the affection of the Palacio de los Deportes during the break between UCAM-Granada.
