Next Saturday, the women’s team plays the ‘all or nothing’ of their aspirations for the title of national champion. After losing the first game of the semi-final against GDESSA, the Friends receive the continentals in their pavilion, and if they win, they will force the opponents to a third game, from which the finalist formation of the Women's League playoffs will emerge. The CAB is preparing the match with great seriousness and sense of responsibility. The group led by João Pedro and Ricardo Montes knows that there is no room for slips and that if they want to have aspirations to reach the end, it depends on themselves, on their delivery, on their intensity and on their ability to suffer. On the eve of the meeting, the CAB's Official Site reached the address with Taj McWilliams and asked the club's American post to make some considerations about Saturday's clash. Your words are recorded here. “As in everything in life, the things that are really worth fighting for are things for. So Game 2 of our series against GDESSA is going to be a tough, limitless fight to the finish line. The young GDESSA team won the first game because they played with claw, determination and converted a high number of triples, and therefore, of course, if we want the opportunity to play a third game against that formation, we will have to limit their ability to launch from three points, which means avoiding penetrations through the middle of the defense. Our team knows what it is to fight many obstacles and we will have to be able to fight with determination if we want to overcome this barrier further.” “In the next game, we also have to know how to dictate the rhythm of the game. Maria, Marta and Carla Freitas will have to be at least as well as the three players ahead of the GDESSA and we will also have to know how to exploit our penetration capabilities so that the opposing team is forced to apply their defensive rotation to defend the side of the aid. We have to be prepared to go to war, to fight for every moment of the game when we're at stake. GDESSA will come ready to play its basketball style, which consists of playing quickly, attacking the basket and passing the ball abroad, to the three-point throwers.” “The team that will win on Saturday is the one that dictates the rhythm of the game and that manages to impose its will and its style of play on the other. It will be a game of millimeters, small steps and a lot of delivery. Personally, I am excited about the game that awaits us.”
