Those of us who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s know that three things are required to attack a guarded castle: the skill of a Spanish swordsman like Íñigo Montoya, the strength of a giant like Fezzik, and intelligence and determination. The story of pirate Roberts, who is none other than the brave Westley who tries to save his beloved Buttercup. Actually, “Princess Bride” taught us that there are no impossible missions if you have the right allies; that if his motivation to live is true love, he can come back to life even when left to die. This Saturday is German, and valuable lessons not to be forgotten in the siege of his castle.
The La Mancha team is in a very delicate situationWith eight wins and twenty losses, they are one step away from relegation. Absolutely necessary for survival in the category, a win against HLA Alicante will fill the team and the fans with morale. Historically, CB Almansa of Afanion has never managed to break the Alicante team. It’s been five seasons of conflict that left us heart-stopping endings. with decisive applause at the last moment for the greater and absolute Lucentina splendor. So on Saturday, the need and desire to reverse the historical trend will turn Bombonera into a fortress like Prince Humperdinck’s castle.
There will be fencing matches between our first swordsmen (Blaylock, Rakocevic, Steinarsson) and the resistance of the Almansa. Hand-to-hand fights between Matulionis, Gatell and Parrado against Aranitovic, Costa or Díaz, and wits to have the HLA Alicante game systems neutralize those of Tino Ugidos. Skill, strength and intelligence are three key ingredients that will continue to be added when there are only six games left to finish the regular season and define both direct promotion to the ACB and the eight playoffs to face. Alicante team can take home factor If the special princess doesn’t fail in her fight for her bride, another episode of adventure awaits us this weekend, masked heroes, fire swamps, miraculous wizards, six-fingered villains, revenge waiting, sword duels and everything to be desired. I trust the Lucentum coach will rehearse the magic words: “Hi, my name is Rafa Monclova. We are HLA Alicante. Be prepared to lose.”
