From this weekend, every score counts. Technicians know that they can keep working, that the season is long and there are still many months left to refine details, polishing systems and find the appropriate game pace. However, also realize that when you finish the last game of the first day in the 2008-09 season, provide data classification unchanged and conclusive that each team placed in a specific place in the table. Gone are the results of the preseason, no longer alarming but good omens or signs that need to be improved quickly. It's time to start scoring, taking into account factor issues such as field or the 'average basket' and decide if the team follows the desired dynamics for achieving the ultimate goal.
The first game has a number of factors, despite the wealth of the preseason, making it difficult to offer a prognosis with guarantees. For the player is hard not to acknowledge the official debut nerves, whether playing at home, at his own public-as it does at home, in a foreign court and the fans against. I remember the faces of many colleagues in the opening night of league as a wide range of emotions. On the positive side, the player calm and serene nature that inspires confidence in others, or optimistic, is shown smiling and animated. On the other hand, excessive motivation often betray other players, walking agitated in the dressing room like a caged lion with the mind on the game from a week ago. Others choose to abstract from the outside world with its iPod MP3 music, turn off only moments before going to the park, in the pre-match talk. I guess that something similar will happen with the technicians, who often have to carry alone with a variety of sensations.
Me comes to mind the case of a CBA player with whom I met in the late Northern Polls (Leyma Basketball Coruña today), who devised a routine as a way to ease anxiety that produced the game every Friday at home and was going to run on the beach of Orzán three or four hours before kickoff. Surprising as it may seem to anyone with an ounce of common sense, this player who, of course, boasts an enviable physical characteristics, used to perform game after game at a very high level, without showing any signs of tiredness or weakness. I guess it would have been more useful teaching him to relax through other activities (the typical siesta, video games, a book), and I imagine today that there will be found, but by then, and only 20 years It did not occur other better way to soothe your nerves.
should not be surprising to find unexpected results at the conclusion of the opening day, be it a favorite for the rise that has yielded a win over a rival or less theoretically a small club with which no one had and climbs without vertigo to highest classification. Forty minutes go far. It is time for each club to begin to unite the efforts of all involved, from managers, coaches and players to the medical staff or employees of the club, and find their place in the table.
