The engine of Unicaja Banco Oviedo starts up again this midday on the Melilla track (12:30 p.m., LaLigaSports and Vinx). After the second break due to the coronavirus, the last negative tests allow the Oviedo team to resume a competition in which it is going from strength to strength, with nine wins and three losses. And do it with all the decisive players, free of the virus although they have lacked training in the last ten days. The team trained yesterday on the rival field after the trip.
If the OCB has doubts about how it is going to respond to this new interruption, the rival still has more. The team from Melilla, coached by the Asturian Arturo Álvarez, has not competed for less than a month and has previously shown signs of great irregularity. His balance is six games won and six lost.
The wheel begins to turn again for Unicaja Banco Oviedo, which will go to a match every three or four days until mid-February to play the stipulated days and recover the matches that it has had to postpone. The next commitment of the squad led by Natxo Lezkano will be on Wednesday against Palma, at 8:30 p.m. in Pumarín. It is one of the matches that had been initially included in the blue club’s Christmas pack, so those who had bought the subscription at the time will be able to access it. The week will bring another rival to the Oviedo stadium, in this case the illustrious Estudiantes, in a match scheduled for Sunday 23rd at 12:30 p.m.
The Circle knocks down the leader Zornotza
The Círculo Gijón once again showed their status as “killers” by beating the leader of the West Group of the LEB Plata, Zornotza, by a very close 66-65. The team from Gijón played a great game, but seemed to run out of steam at the end of the third quarter, which was reached with an advantage of the Basques by ten points (45-55). However, the players led by the tandem formed by Nacho Galán and Guillermo Arenas had an enormous last quarter, which they closed with a run of 21-10. The last actions were very exciting. A loss and an error in the launch of Libroia left the last shot to Zornotza, who did not know how to take advantage of it.
