All the months July and August I’m planning the season. At June I consider very important conclusions that will be useful for planning the next season.

The planning of this season has been a very vivid document, which has evolved with the progression of the team. It means that the planned work is modified according to the team’s answers, but it is true that in developing the schedule before the season started, there are unknown data emerging over the months and you planned to modify condition.

One example that happened this season is related to how to play collectively attack. In July and August last year in February I felt that we would begin to enter the occupation of the low post as progression to the game of attack with five players open. As the date approached, I noticed that the concepts were not sufficiently settled worked so I felt that we could not progress to the next step (occupation of the low post). I had to change plan.

What I mean is that it is very important conclusions of the season, both in the technical objectives – tactical and the way we train, how has our relationship with the players, coaching invisible. It is also a good idea to ask how we trained, how we wanted to have, how was our communication with the guys, what is the idea of ​​our basketball, if we managed to reach it, and so on.

“It was a very difficult game to play at first that, over time, we found the pace and we should be happy with the work and play,” added the Italian told a news conference after making his debut with a win (78-60 ) with the DKV Joventut Badalona.

He welcomed the support of his predecessor and the trust of the policy and refused, like Messina this morning, that there was a confrontation between fellow and staff. “I have the illusion of doing well. I’m very happy, but they’ve been two tough days” said Molin.

For those basketball fans who know the history of the NBA and how he became what is today a day, the name of ABA did not sound so strange, because we are facing what could be called the little sister of the NBA.

It is the American Basketball Association , a basketball league that was created in the year 1967 and was faced with the NBA in talent from the United States. However, both have been major figures in basketball, but now only remains the NBA.
In 1976, the American Basketball Association disbanded. This league was characterized because his game was much more offensive than the NBA. They also changed some rules, such as three-point line or watch the use of thirty seconds.
However, the biggest difference is that you can see in the picture, the use of tricolor ball that had the American flag colors.

Some teams that played in the ABA were: San Antonio Spurs, Washington Caps, Denver Rockets, Virginia Squires, Indiana Pacers, Utah Stars, New York Nets, Texas Chaparrals, New Jersey Nets , Spirits of St. Louis, Anaheim Amigos, San Diego Sails, Baltimore Hustlers, San Diego Conquistators, Baltimore Claws, Pittsburgh Pipers, Calorina Cougars, Pittsburgh Condors, Dallas Chaparrals, Los Angeles Stars and The Floridians, among others.

In 1922 Mr. Angel Cabrera created the first basketball team in Castile. After 8 years in the newspaper ABC announced that players were open to volunteers.

Standard field was the site where they began their training. In those years the camps were discovered and the dirt track or ash. Sport in Spain had been well received by the children of South American or Spanish settled educated in America.

In 1932 the team became official. And with the football and secured, Real Madrid president wanted to include other sports to grace the club. Thus was born the Real Madrid basketball, which was gaining a following and became one of the best letters from the club.

Among the keys to the defense of Leon attack dominated the visitors in the middle section of the third quarter, the team’s strength and leadership in the last night of a great Barnabas, in his best home game in a long time. Great!. The captain did everything. Although it might appear the ghosts of last season’s defeat at Orense, in which important free throws are missed.

Orense good team, that he was prejudiced by the arbitration proceedings on the first leg of the crash. An offensive foul Lucho Fernandez in the protected area, for example. Reported a technical coach Paco Garcia for repeated complaints of misconduct by the difference between the two teams. Repeated, but very polite, it seemed. We must recognize that the work of a referee is not easy, but perhaps should have more left. Sony Vazquez and Ugonna Onyekwe, two ex-León, were eliminated by faults, and both left very angry. I think maybe I had reasons.

Welcome to the club, the new blog about basketball HERALDO.es. A structured around an orange ball in which to discuss what happens inside and outside the park. Unlimited in time or geography.

Because game giants have Darren Phillip accommodate playing the legendary Rucker Park in New York after being named MVP of the NCAA and Ricardo Uriz trying to jump onto the field in jeans. Gasol starting the season as the most valuable player of the competition and Stephon Marbury sneakers sold in China.

The arrival of Durant, LeBron’s ego, Navarro’s talent, the heart of Llull, the defeats of the Clippers, the surprise of White or association conference in Boston thirtysomethings. Without a concrete goal beyond that enjoy the sport of basket.

Real have made a good start the Top 16 of the Euroleague. At least in regard to results, because the game made by whites in Vistalegre has left much to be desired. The win against Efes Pilsen served to open his locker at this stage of European competition, in a meeting in which the Turks have sold very expensive skin led by Charles Smith (18 points, 7 rebounds and 5 steals) with rack of vendetta.

Ataman’s boys began the game at half throttle. But is that Real went out with the ‘damn’, with a weary pace of 2.9 caused a Efes to get you started. The Turks seized the party leadership and Messina are unhinged. There was no ball movement, and little is peeping white ended in losses. The output of Llull and Felipe did not produce the desired explosion and Efes continued their march.

Messina Velickovic tested with ‘three’. Neither worked. And that Preston Shumpert had not adjusted the peephole. Bootsy Thornton made the greatest difference with a triple (13-22) and Messina called for more attitude. Bullock, who crosses his best form this season, stopped the bleeding and Madrid, spurred by Vistalegre, reduced the gap. A Shumpert was struck with inspiration, nailed two triples and Efes, which just played Rakocevic, James and Tunçeri, went with the breakthrough.

The Efes not playing anything, but I was more clear what to do. With that was enough to be in the game until Bullock, with 7 straight games, breathed oxygen to Madrid. Mario Kasun at Efes and claimed he missed the Madrid Tomic centimeters on the bench. But today was the day for experiments and was Kaukenas which was responsible for unblocking the matter. Without hesitation, the Lithuanian barreled the rim and Madrid came in the fourth quarter advantage.

There the Efes did not give up and began the recital of Charles Smith. ‘Spider’, fondly remembered by the public Vistalegre, plugged a triple. And another. And one of two. And stole the ball. And the mother who could not stop him. The time was now and Marko Jaric pushed his team back. The Serb hit a triple and two baskets of two to leave the party seen for sentencing. Smith did the rest: he committed his fifth foul and the threat disappeared. From there, serving caste of Llull and Felipe to close the match.

A guy who can stand up to Shaq, Yao Ming or Howard to just try to plug a blow to a colleague during training.

The story has a lot more bread if you take into account what he had to do their part in Sant Boi to reach the Eurobasket. After a season-cargadísima party is what has won the NBA ring, decided to go a little more weight to the back to play with your selection.

Pau Gasol

Fourth day since he joined the merger, first contact with the ball fairly serious, try to put a stopper Felipe Reyes, is a blow to the index finger of his left hand and just watching the stars.

And seeing the stars is not an exaggeration. The impact was so strong that eventually Pau dizzy and had to lie on the floor to recover. After the initial shock, everyone was confident that it is simply the moment of impact. In the case we had to go to hospital.

They confirmed that the matter was serious and was operated on urgently. As explained the communiqué of the ELF is not a serious injury – a ligament injury in interphalangeal “- but it requires the player to wait” between twelve and fourteen days to take away from the points and a total of twenty with a splint so that the area is immobilized.

20 days to start playing ball for 28 missing when you start the competition. FEB Ni, or select or doctors want to risk making a prognosis. They prefer to wait and see how events occur. Things look difficult but not impossible, can not forget we’re talking about Pau Gasol.
