Welcome to the Post-Pandemic League.
A new and exciting season begins, 2021-22, many think that it will be the “private preserve” of Movistar Estudiantes, but this LEB Gold will probably be the one with the highest competitive level in the history of the competition.
In the last year, despite the constraints of the COVID measures, we were able to enjoy maximum equality, a league divided into two interesting groups in which we had clear candidates for promotion and talented applicants who could surprise. In one of the most exciting playoffs in living memory, the decision was made to grand final between Coviran Granada and Rio Breogan, being the Galicians who got the Golden ticket to the Endesa League.
In the new season ahead of us, and according to the templates that we are going to analyze below, it can be assured that the differences that could be seen a year ago have been shortened even more. The court factor takes on a special relevance, we come from empty pavilions and we once again have stands with an audience, how will this affect especially the tight finals?
Passion, emotion, tactics, technique … all those elements that adorn the orange ball, come to the fore to give us a few months of authentic BASKETBALL.
