All or nothing. Permanence or relegation to Second Feb. After 33 competition days, the Blanquivioleta painting is played by the season in 40 minutes (or more) against Hestia Menorca. The Vallisoletanos, this Friday at 9:00 p.m. and in a Pisuerga sports center full to the flag, with a gala atmosphere, face the Menorcans with salvation at stake, since one will maintain the category and another will fall.
As for the numbers, accounts and possibilities … the EUMC Real Valladolid basketball needs to win the game or lose for just one point to achieve permanence. But the figures are complicated if the Blanquivioleta fall for two goals. In case of losing for an exact difference of 2, everything would depend on the annotation added by the Hestia Menorca in Pisuerga: if it is 66 points or less (that is, 64-66), salvation remains in Pucela, but if it is with 67 or more (65-67, 66-68 and thus …) the joy will be for the Balearic Islands. Everything that is falling through three or more points would also imply the descent for the squirrels.
As for the dynamics of each other, the UMC RVB has won four of its last seven meetings and adds a victory more than the Hestia Menorca. With 11-22 in the locker, the Castilians will seek the twelfth to seal the permanence against a painting, the Balearic, which arrives on a streak of six consecutive losses and has won in one of its last 12 games. But in a game at 40 minutes, little or nothing matters the background, the past days and many other factors.
Moreover, taking into account that in front there is an entity rival, dangerous, that has an experienced coach and a level template, and that has demonstrated many virtues throughout the season. The base post is formed by a national category triplet: Pol Figueras, Pol Molins and Sergio Llorente, three orchestra directors, good game generators and who know perfectly the feB categories.
-The points in the perimeter mainly put them Jalen Cone, one of the most prominent escorts since his arrival in the category. The American signs an average of 16.3 points per game, but it is not the only offensive source of the Balearic Islands. The Bulgarian International Pavlin Ivanov (average 9.5), a shooter with experience in European competitions and an important background in continental basketball also contributes in that facet. In the outer line Javi Zamora also has Diego Alderete, quarry students and more physical eaves capable of harming the low and high talent post; In addition to the young José David Gómez (International U20 with Spain).
Hestia Menorca also has many weapons in the painting, mainly in the figure of Víctor Arteaga. The Conquense averages 11.8 points per party, 6 rebounds and 14.5 of valuation, which makes it one of the island’s pillars. But around them also highlight Marko Lukovic, Ala-Pivot Serbio with experience in the European ACB and elite, Golden Dike (formed at Real Madrid and with experience in the American NCAA), Emil Stoilov (International with Bulgaria and Student Cantera) and Sean McDonnell, who got the promotion last season with Leyma Coruña.
In the press conference prior to the shock, Alejandro Paniagua has shown his full confidence in the team and in being able to get the victory. “We face it confident in us, in the work that we have been doing in recent weeks, in our possibilities, in the fact that we play at home with virtually the poster posted from no tickets. We play confidence that we are going to get it forward, but without trusting ourselves in the face of Menorca because we know that Menorca is a hard rival that will make things difficult in a game that will be very emotional. That we have had to live today.
The meeting of this Friday, May 9 at 9:00 p.m. at the Pisuerga Sports Center will be broadcast through the application and LaLiga+website. The referees will be Zafra Guerra, Lezcano and Quintas Álvarez.
