MoraBanc Andorra wants to make Marcelinho Huertas’ farewell bitter
He MoraBanc Andorraone step away from entering the classification pit, receives this Saturday (7:30 p.m.) La Laguna Tenerife who fires Brazilian point guard Marcelinho Huertas who signs for Dubai Basketball.
The team led by Žan Tabakeven with the loss of the Spanish-Brazilian base Rafa Luz who continues with his pubalgia, arrives to meet with three consecutive defeats and with the two teams that occupy a relegation place with the same balance of victories (1) and defeats (6), that is, the Kids&Us Manresa and the iLERNA Lleida.
The Tenerife Lagoondirected by Jaka Lakovicaccumulates three consecutive victories in its visits to the Principality and this time faces a rival that needs to get out of the bottom part and even more so after the resurrection of Kids&Us Manresa.
“We don’t talk about the classification because it doesn’t make any sense and it would only do so if the team doesn’t do its best. Players are not stupid and they are human beings like us and they are clear about where we are,” said the Split coach.
The Tenerife natives arrive with two old acquaintances in the squad: the center Giorgi Shermadini and the point guard Jaime Fernández.
Saturday will be Marcelinho Huertas’ last game in the ACB. “There are people who at 28 years old are already veterans and at 39 and 40 they are not and it all depends on their genetic quality and how they have taken care of themselves.. “I never look at the age of the players and the most important thing for them is to maintain the group for so long,” added the coach.
Tabak also values the arrival of Jaka Lakovič after so many years of Txus Vidorreta as coach. “Jaka is not so far from Txus in the play styles they propose“said the Andorra coach.
