In addition to participating in ‘Final 8’, we have practically guaranteed participation in the ‘playoffs’.” “However, we want to advance more and better, ensuring a permanent fight in every game we play. Next Thursday we will face the Lusitânia team in the final rooms of the Portuguese Cup. In the two games played between these teams, the CAB always won and we want to ensure the presence in the half-finals of this competition.” “The great ambition present within the team is visible through the motivation expressed in how we have been preparing this competition. A sense of responsibility and confidence in our capabilities, because we understand from the beginning that the value of our team is in the collective attitude with which we have addressed all competitive moments.” “More than promoting a personal statement, we want to guarantee and consolidate the presence of the CAB among the Elite of national basketball.
