When Chumi Ortega left Wizink Center After the match against Real Madrid, Palencia fans were waiting to applaud their captain. At least four buses had arrived from the Castile capital to watch their team play against one of Europe’s best in the ACB. The situation deserved it. And yet, in the midst of this purple wave, like a Gallic fortress resisting the invader, a small group began to chant a phrase that silenced the Palencia fans with one stroke of the pen: “Go back to Alicante, Chumi, go back to Alicante!”. The guy from Yecla couldn’t resist and jokingly approached the basketball group that came to Wizink, who was accompanying his team to play against Movistar Estudiantes in the afternoon. Really friends. As soon as I set foot on Madrid soil,Kali Nord was already doing her job and demanding the services of the most warrior escorts. Because Chumi, you just got it First MVP in ACBWherever he plays, he will always be one of us.
He knows this too, and his father, legendary Olympic boxer José Ortega Chumilla, Moreover. Even though his son has not played for Alicante for three seasons, Chumilla continues to stand by Pedro Ferrándiz whenever he has the opportunity to support the team that gives him and his family so much love. And almost without realizing it, he became a talisman for his home team. Whenever the Yecla tiger Chumilla comes in, HLA Alicante wins. Don’t ask me what cause and effect is hidden behind this strange coincidence, but I hope the boxer has no plans for this Friday night and can come to Alicante to enjoy the LEB Oro he knows very well. Lucentum conceded Guuk Gipuzkoa Basket to claim their fourth victory after a week in which they saved two important dates but still had doubts about whether their game continues to rise. The team struggles at times and is saved by individual talent rather than a collective effort. Besides winning, he still needs to convince.
For your part, The Basques arrived in Alicante with only one defeat. Estu shares the lead with Coruña and San Pablo Burgos. He is a tough opponent to break and we need all the spells, charms and amulets possible to keep Guđmundsson finding the basket, Kostas putting on another basketball clinic on the court, Barro intimidating in the zone and Davison continuing to resist. Scandalous figures.. Let Adrià Rodríguez enchant us again with his electricity towards the game and Hook makes a hook or hangs at the rim, befitting his surname. We need you all at the Tech Center this FridayHe carries the team through thick and thin. Prepare scarves, t-shirts, desire to cheer up. Eventually Chumilla will have a weekend commitment and we will have to be who we are once again in Pedro Ferrándiz. The true talisman of the team.
