The university team, which hosts Tenerife today, has seen all teams win this day of poisoned matches with six wins
Launch of stuffed animals, joint decoration of the Christmas tree and part of the Roscón de Reyes for the first fans. There’s no shortage of decorations appropriate to the time of year to add an extra attraction to a game set at the worst possible time: the morning of the Three Wise Men. There are also no facilities to purchase tickets, as just like last Tuesday’s memorable match against Pinar Karsiyaka, the first of a best-of-three series of this play-in to gain access to the top 16′ of the Champions League, these have a single retail price of 10 euros, 5 for children.
A schedule, this of the Three Kings feast day at 12:30 p.m., which the club did not choose, but for which it was not possible to do more. It is the last game to be played in the fourteenth day of the Endesa League, a game played between Monday and Wednesday, which has postponed the game for the sole reason that UCAM has to play its play-in. of champions. Competition also played by today’s rival Tenerife, which will find UCAM in the same group as the ‘top 16’ if it overcomes the Turkish challenge.
But today peppers and chicharreros meet in the Endesa League. A very important confrontation for the island team, which, if they win today in Murcia, will certify their Copa del Rey classification (curiously enough, last year UCAM achieved their classification by beating this team) and become the fourth team with eleven wins in a row. shares the lead with Real Madrid, Baskonia and Barça.
For the cup event, with much to be decided, UCAM has bizarre options, despite the fact that a win would put them in eighth place. His “basket average” is the worst of all candidates for the caboose, a four-team seven-win bout that also has head-to-head battles scheduled for three days before closing. With six games played on their side, Sito Alonso’s team doesn’t want the roscón bean to fall on their piece: all teams that took six wins this day have won (Valencia, Breogán and Obradoiro).
The team facing UCAM today is one with hardly any cracks. Current champions of the Champions League, a competition that it already won in its first season (2017), Tenerife has found its success in an unbroken line. Txus Vidorreta remains the coach, for the fifth consecutive season and seventh in total, of a team that has a group of players with a very proven track record in the Endesa League and in Europe, that of UCAM “a very high level to explore options have to compete,” said Sito.
The incombustible duo formed by Marcelinho Huertas (age 39) and Shermadini (33) remains the continent’s best blocking and continuation, one perfectly relieved by the also point guard and center Fitipaldo and Guerra; and who make it more difficult to defend with their space shooters like Salin (leader in triples in the Endesa League with 3.2 per game), Abromaitis or Doornekamp. In addition, they sign an insurance policy in Tenerife: Jaime Fernández, Elgin Cook and Moussa Diagné, novelties of the season.
A wardrobe that will make the aurinegros “one of the teams that play the best basketball”, and that will measure the wear of UCAM on Tuesday in the exhausting European game. “If there is a physical deficit, we will have to rebuild it with the illusion and ambition that we must have,” concludes Sito Alonso.
