Casademont Zaragoza faces the last game of the regular phase this Saturday, April 25, as the undisputed leader, having secured first place for weeks. After achieving third place in the EuroLeague, Carlos Cantero's team has maintained its level in the domestic competition. In round 29, they defeated Movistar Estudiantes 72-80, confirming their solidity before the playoffs.
The tactical evolution that sustains the team's dominance 🏀
Casademont Zaragoza's success is partly explained by the technical adaptation of its offensive system. Carlos Cantero has implemented a scheme of constant rotations that maximizes the physical performance of his players. The alternating zone defense, combined with fast transitions, has created mismatches against rivals like Estudiantes. Advanced scouting and data analysis allow adjustments to coverages in real time, a method that has raised collective efficiency without relying on individual performances.
The leader already thinking about vacations (and the Cup) 😅
With first place secured, the team could use the last game to test bench rotations or simply coast. Rumors say Carlos Cantero has prepared a special play that consists of passing the ball until the buzzer sounds. The playoffs loom, but in the meantime, the players are already calculating if they have time for an ice cream before the next round. Of course, without letting their guard down: in Zaragoza, they know the League doesn't forgive jokes.
