Under normal conditions, the time the Universe would have shipped yesterday
afternoon to Belo Horizonte, where it faces today, at 19h, the Mines, in the
fourth match of best of five playoff semifinal of the New Basketball Brazil (NBB).
But the fact it had found no beds available at over 30 hotels in Belo Horizonte
has consulted the trip impossible, causing an unusual situation for the coach
Lula Ferreira commanded: they only embark this morning, less than 12 hours of
departure . "This will not affect anything in the team's performance," said the
coach Lula Ferreira. "The flight is fast, only an hour and ten minutes, and you
can not wear the players," continued the coach.
Win by 2 x 1 in the clash, the team ensures candango spot in the final of the NBB to leave the court victorious. If the miners carry the day, the two teams face off again on Saturday in Brasília, in the Asceb Gym (904 South), at 16h, in the fifth and decisive match. The Universe watched a video of Mines and later trained yesterday morning. In the afternoon, players were given off to rest and prepare for the duel. And although not with the knife in the neck, one in the capital club have other thoughts but soon quit the series. Flamengo, which on Tuesday beat France by 86 x 85, with a three-pointer from Marcelinho, a second end of the game, is guaranteed by the decision, just waiting for the universe or the Mines. "I do not think we can have one more game after that," said winger Arthur. "We only think of winning there. We can not contemplate a fifth game," he continued. "We go there to try to win soon and close the series to ever focus for the final, amended wing / pivot Guilherme Giovannoni. The Universe has for himself the good record against Minas in Belo Horizonte this edition of the NBB. If mining was the only team that won the laborers in Brasilia in the entire competition, with two wins on the other hand, the Mines not triumph against the Brasilia in their own fields, since this NBB, lost both matches that played. The playoff 1st game - 97 x 106 Mining Universe 2nd Game - Universe 94 x 103 Mine 3rd Game - 102 x 86 Mining Universe Unbeaten in BH In this second edition of the NBB, the Universe faced the Mines in the 7th round of the tight first turn and won by 91 x 89. The second confrontation happened in Minas Gerais in the opening playoff semifinal two weeks ago. The laborers have won without problems, 102 x 86. Lula wants to raise the tension For coach Lula Ferreira, starting today will have more elements than the past tense three duels between Universe and Mines in the playoffs. "They have the tension of elimination. If they lose, will leave the league. And we have to learn to use that to our advantage," said Lula. "We have to keep the tension high and make them think all the time that the command of the game is with us," he continued. If the intention of the Universe is clearly to dominate the charts and the score from the first minute on the other hand, the coach of Mines, Flavio Davis, shows the same interest. "We have to try to play within our standard, with control of the game. In the second match in Brasilia, lost concentration and suffered through the exchange of defenses and their offensiveness. Let's get on court with our emotional well balanced and work collectively, defense and attack. Only then will the positive outcome. " Convening of Dunga divides opinions It was not just the streets that the convening of the 23 players who will defend Brazil in the World Cup in South Africa, announced Tuesday by coach Dunga, has divided opinion. At the time of the universe, some agreed and others did not spare criticism of the list. "Of course I did not like," said Rossi wing. "The Kleberson, who does not play ball not in Flamengo, which will play in the squad? And Joshua? If the team is currently the Neymar and Goose could not stay out," he continued. "With this team will be eight players on the goal line and Kaka, Robinho and Luis Fabiano in front," joked the wing / pivot William. Passionate about football, the wing and captain Alex merely make a face when asked what he had found the convening of Dunga. Pipoka's assistant coach, however, adopted. "I liked it. The Dunga was consistent. In two months, he could not take even the Neymar and Goose. What we need in this country is people who keep the word because everyone here changes his mind all the time." For coach Lula Ferreira, Dunga fulfill what had been saying. "It's the team that he is working in the last three and a half years. On one thing he is right: players who started playing well now he will put on the list? Parameter of the coach is different from the fans and the press," he said. "But I have players who do not agree. The Joshua can not afford to go to the finals. In short, cup of cottage cheese has a lot in that time and a little glass of crystal." Tags:
