The UCAM Murcia CB will live their second game of League Endesa outside the Palace of Sports, and will have to rival one of the sensations of the start of the championship, Gipuzkoa Basket.
"It's going to be a very difficult game, against a team that is doing well and that handles well the few bad moments they have during the matches.
They are in a situation that maybe they did not expect and play with the ideas very clear and very calm.
We have to know very well what we want to do and control their best weapons, like the rebound, "said Ibon Navarro.
The college students experienced their first win of this season against one of the best Teams of the Endesa League, Morabanc Andorra, at home.
"The team has been able to compete in all matches, despite not being fine in the triple or the free kick.
We are building the group and it is normal that we are tired now, but we have to get used to playing with fatigue, because we will play some days, "admitted Navarro.
Even so, the victorious coach added that "we have managed to compete as far as we could against Unicaja Málaga, in Tenerife for 34 minutes without doing our best basketball.
We know how to apply a lot in defense, and in attack taking things out thanks to the heart we put.
We are far from playing an attractive and fluid basketball, "said the coach.
One of the biggest dangers of the San Sebastian team is Henk Norel, who in three days has managed to be MVP twice.
"It has started at the team level.
I worry about the ease with which he is bouncing on both hoops.
Each time he takes a rebound, it is a slam inside.
We have to make sure he does not play easy and it must be a job for the whole team, "said Navarro, who has pointed out that" Marcos Delia and Kevin Tumba are playing well and when they are fine in defense they hold the team.
It does not come out in numbers, but the team knows it. "
The Murcia won the first victory of their history in the Basketball Champions League against Hapoel Holon.
"I think this competition has raised a lot of level and there are very important players, which give you difficulty.
Our group is complex, because I do not find it easy to intuit that teams can move on to the next stage.
We have to go little by little, "concluded the Victorian.
The game against Gipuzkoa Basket will be played on Sunday 15 at 12:30 p.m., and will be broadcast by Movistar + (DIAL 195).
