Despite the recent victory in the Euroleague against AS Monaco (84-98, with 27 points from Dario Brizuela), the Barça team is going through its worst moment in the domestic season, with three consecutive defeats, the last of them on the court of Girona Bàsquet (91-90), bottom of the Endesa League, in addition to a worrying lack of defensive consistency and decisions erratic.
Even so, Barça depends on itself to achieve this first goal of the season.
Gran Canaria is playing for the option of being seeded but that does not seem to put pressure on coach Jaka Lakovicwho considers that this “does not give any guarantee”, so he defends that the most important thing is to add because “nothing ends in the first round.”
Ninth in the standings (7-8), the team Joan Peñarroya needs to win this match and the next one against Surne Bilbao to reach at least eighth place. In case of equality in the balance, the overall balance of points will decide so, in addition to the victory, it is important to achieve it by a wide margin.
We are still in the month of January but Barça faces the regular phase duel this Sunday (1:00 p.m.) on the Dreamland court like a true final. Gran Canaria. The aspirations of the Blaugrana to compete for the Copa They have to win this match on the court of a better-ranked rival, who is hosting the cup tournament but would already have a ticket if that were not the case.
