Third stage of the match marathon in which UEMC Real Valladolid Baloncesto is immersed. And 40 days later, Pucela Basket will return to Pisuerga, a noteworthy event for Roberto González, as he acknowledged in the press conference prior to the match against CB Prat (Wednesday, 8:45 pm).
“The main news is that 40 days later we have basketball in Pisuerga. It is a joy that the team and the fans can enjoy it together”, opened the Carpio coach. In addition, Roberto González warned about the strengths of the rival, CB Prat. “It is a young team, with quality and linked to Joventut Badalona. They are competing well, they have just won at the CB Almansa court with Afanion and stood up to leading teams in the league”.
For the coach of UEMC Real Valladolid Baloncesto, however, the long-awaited regularity will be key in the midst of a whirlwind of matches, since this, the one postponed from matchday 13, will be the third in eight days. “We hope to have enough concentration, toughness and basketball to bring joy to our fans. We did not know how we were going to be after the break and we have had a carousel of play. We’re not used to this rhythm and the games involve a maximum demand, but when you have them every three days, the fatigue and the mistakes accumulate”.
Finally, Roberto González spoke about the physical discomfort that Kavion Pippen and Jordy Kuiper have suffered this week. “Pippen took a hit to the shoulder in Cáceres and hopefully he will train with the group today. Kuiper suffered a minor ankle sprain and is exercising with discomfort, but I hope to have everyone for the match”.
