Marcelinho Huertas’s performance is one of the main weapons to which the Tenerife lagoon will be grabbed to try success in the basketball Champions League Four, which starts this Friday in Athens. The Canarian team is measured in the semifinals to Galatasaray (17.00 hours) while the other Spanish team in Liza, the Unicaja, will see them shortly after with the host AEK Athens (20.00 hours).
The Brazilian base, who was chosen best player (MVP) of the Champions League a year ago, maintains surprising benefits for a player who is about to turn 42 (May 25). In the current Champions Huertas it is averaging 16.3 points, 7.4 assists, 1.9 rebounds and a 17.2 assessment.
What is the secret of your sports longevity? “I try to take care of my body everything I can, I do not have LeBron James’s money as you say, nor the structure of a NBA team, but I try to do everything possible: eat well, rest, you can not neglect it if you want a long -lived race and avoid injuries. The passion I have, my desire to fight and the love I have for basketball, I think that is my secret,” said the base of the Laguna Tenerife to the doors of the Laguna.
“I am focused on being able to give my best to help my team in their sixth option to win. We want to focus on what we can do on the court, which has been the recipe that has brought us here,” Huertas points out before ensuring that “the individual titles give me the same, I want to win for the club, so it supposes for the club, for the island.”
