The podcast of Èstia Menorca.
Què tal? Salutacions!
How are you? Greetings!
Benvinguts a un nou episodi d'aquest podcast,
Welcome to a new episode of this podcast,
del podcast de l'Èstia Menorca.
from the podcast of the Èstia Menorca.
Episodi ja nombre 20 que fem
Episode number 20 that we are doing.
parlant en exclusiva d'aquest club de bà squet
talking exclusively about this basketball club
del millor per a nosaltres de tot Menorca
the best for us of all Menorca
i, per tant, també de les Illes Balears per extensió.
and, therefore, also from the Balearic Islands by extension.
Adrià Quatrecasas, com està s?
Adrià Quatrecasas, how are you?
Quina calor que fa, mare de Déu!
It's so hot, good Lord!
Excel Camarasa, què tal? Bon dia!
Hello Camarasa, how are you? Good morning!
Bona nit o bona tarda, segons a quina hora us escolteu.
Good night or good afternoon, depending on what time you are listening.
Fa calor, sigui l'hora que sigui.
It is hot, no matter what time it is.
Per tant, no hi ha diferència.
Therefore, there is no difference.
Podem saludar de qualsevol manera
We can greet in any way.
perquè fa calor a tota hora.
because it is hot all the time.
Però ja és això, és el que toca.
But that's it, it's what it is.
És el que toca. Parlem quan parlem,
It is what it is. We talk when we talk.
escolteu quan ens escolteu.
listen when you hear us.
Si una cosa és segura, és que teniu calor.
If one thing is certain, it’s that you are hot.
I amb això, prà cticament,
And with that, practically,
no ens equivocarem.
we will not be mistaken.
No ens equivocarem.
We will not be mistaken.
Potser és l'única cosa amb la qual no ens equivocarem.
Maybe it's the only thing we won't get wrong.
I també amb què hem fitxat algú.
And also with whom we have signed someone.
Això també ho podem donar per fet.
We can also take this for granted.
Perquè el darrer episodi parlà vem de baixes,
Because in the last episode we talked about absences,
doncs ara ja podem començar a parlar
Well, now we can start talking.
de fitxatges
about signings
perquè fins ara havÃem comentat
because until now we had commented
renovacions. Eren jugadors que ja coneixÃem,
renovations. They were players we already knew,
el capità Diego Alderete,
Captain Diego Alderete,
Pol Molins, Golden Dicke... Aquests ja els coneixÃem.
Pol Molins, Golden Dicke... We already knew them.
I ja prà cticament, si més no,
And almost, if nothing else,
qui més qui menys hi comptava amb ells
everyone expected them to be there to some extent
per aquesta propera temporada. Però ara ja sà que
for this upcoming season. But now it really is that
podem parlar de fitxatges,
we can talk about signings,
de noms propis. Alguns potser
of proper names. Some perhaps
a la gent del món del bà squet li sonen més,
to the people in the basketball world, they sound more familiar,
d'altres
of others
jo crec que m'atreveixo a dir que són
I dare say that they are
del tot desconeguts i, per tant,
completely unknown and, therefore,
un meló per obrir.
a melon to open.
Tres fitxatges que tenim fins al moment.
Three signings that we have so far.
El meló per obrir seria András Tanó.
The opening act would be András Tanó.
Un jugador
A player
que prové de la Lliga
that comes from the League
húngara, de la mà xima divisió
Hungarian, of the highest division.
hongria. No em facis dir el nom
Hungary. Don't make me say the name.
del club. És una cosa similar a
from the club. It's something similar to
Shomba Zeli.
Shomba Zeli.
I no em facis dir si la
And don't make me say if the
mà xima categoria húngara és una categoria
the highest Hungarian category is a category
digna.
worthy.
No ho sé. Jo tot el que puc
I don't know. I do everything I can.
aportar és que jugava en un pavelló de 4.000
to contribute is that I played in a pavilion of 4,000
persones.
people.
Bé, això és digne.
Well, this is worthy.
SÃ, vull dir que és tot el que puc dir.
Yes, I mean it's all I can say.
Que havia jugat el 2022
What had played in 2022
al campionat europeu
to the European Championship
sub-20.
under-20.
De dos anys que va aquÃ, diguem que li hem perdut
Since he has been here for two years, let's say we've lost him.
una mica més la pista.
a little more the track.
I que
And what?
vindria a ser un combo
it would be a combo
de jugador que podria
of a player who could
reforçar tant una mica la posició d'un com de dos
reinforce a bit the position of one as well as two
i no et puc
and I can't you
dir massa cosa més, la veritat,
say too much more, the truth,
perquè sà que he vist alguns highlights d'algunes
because I have seen some highlights of some
jugades amb
played with
mig K de qualitat
half a K of quality
d'imatge que, clar,
of image that, of course,
no deixen de ser highlights, que això és el que passa a vegades
They are still highlights, which is what happens sometimes.
quan fitxes un jugador.
when you sign a player.
Que ens encigalem tots tot d'una
Let us all get excited all at once.
però després cal veure el dia a dia com funciona.
but then we need to see how it works day to day.
El que passa és que els highlights et donen
What happens is that the highlights give you
pistes, et deixen veure la mecà nica
clues, let you see the mechanics
de tir, et deixen veure
by shooting, they let you see
quines són les
what are the
espais de la pista
track spaces
que acostuma a ocupar, i això també et dona
that usually occupies, and this also gives you
pistes, de com li agrada
hints, about what he/she likes
jugar i també de com pot encaixar amb la resta
play and also how it can fit with the rest
de jugadors que coneixem com juguen.
of players that we know how they play.
SÃ, sÃ, sÃ. Sembla
Yes, yes, yes. It seems.
un jugador à gil,
an agile player,
rà pid, no només
quick, not only
de moviments, sinó també de decisió,
of movements, but also of decision,
però ja et dic, qualsevol valoració
but as I tell you, any assessment
vull que quedi molt agafada
I want it to be very tight.
amb pinces perquè fins que no el veiem entrant en dinà mica.
with caution because until we see him getting into the dynamic.
També hi haurà aquest
There will also be this.
procés d'adaptació, un jugador
adaptation process, a player
que ve d'una lliga de fora,
that comes from a league abroad,
que segurament no coneix ni la
that probably doesn't even know her
primera FEP, ni el sistema
first FEP, nor the system
de joc de l'Èstia Menorca,
of the game of the Beast Menorca,
i per tant deixem-lo en vereda, no
And therefore, let's leave it aside, shall we?
el matem abans de començar, però tampoc
the math before starting, but neither
que
that
ens obsessionem
we become obsessed
amb ell com el nou crac, vull dir, és un xiu
with him as the new crack, I mean, he’s a snitch
molt jove i que, per tant,
very young and therefore,
com dèiem, és un maló per obrir.
As we said, it’s a hassle to open.
SÃ, el que també
Yes, that too.
tampoc sabem és a aquestes alçades
we also don't know at this stage
quin és el rol
what is the role
que Javi Zamora i l'estaf
that Javi Zamora and the scam
tècnic
technician
considera que ha d'ocupar aquest jugador.
he considers that this player should be occupied.
És a dir, no sabem si és un jugador
That is to say, we don't know if he is a player.
per entendre'ns
to understand each other
dels principals
of the main ones
reserves.
reserves.
En principi, titular
In principle, holder.
no compto com a titular,
I don’t count as a starter,
no el compto com a dos titular,
I don't count it as two holders.
ara parlarem del base titular,
now we will talk about the starting point guard,
que sé que ja el tenim, però
I know we already have it, but
el dos, l'escolta titular,
the two, the titular listener,
en principi no hauria de ser ell, hauria de ser
in principle it shouldn't be him, it should be
ell el suplent de l'escolta titular,
he is the substitute for the starting listener,
que podria ser, encara està per obrir,
that could be, it is still to be opened,
no sabem si serà Demers o serà algú altre.
we don’t know if it will be Demers or someone else.
Correcte, jo crec que és un jugador
Correct, I believe he is a player.
per entrar en la rotació i perquè agafi
to enter the rotation and to make it catch
rodatge i per donar minuts
shooting and to give minutes
de qualitat
of quality
quan el jugador titular
when the starting player
hagi de descansar. Això sembla
I have to rest. That seems.
a priori molt evident.
a priori very evident.
Em sorprendria molt que fos titular, però
I would be very surprised if it were a headline, but
si és perquè és el millor en la seva posició,
if it's because he is the best in his position,
endavant, comprem tot absolutament,
go ahead, we buy everything absolutely,
perquè tenim sis jugadors i, per tant,
because we have six players and, therefore,
no estem per descartar ningú
we are not here to dismiss anyone
abans de l'edat.
before age.
Evidentment, evidentment.
Obviously, obviously.
El que sà que em quedaria és amb l'edat,
What I would definitely keep is the age,
no sé si la tens per aquà controlada.
I don't know if you have it under control here.
És del 2002.
It is from 2002.
Del 2002, és a dir, té 22 anys,
From 2002, that is, he/she is 22 years old.
això és molt jove i això
this is very young and this
també ens dona una pista
it also gives us a clue
d'una lÃnia en els fitxatges
of a line in the signings
que està sent diferent
that is being different
a la de la temporada passada, que és que
to last season, which is that
s'estan incorporant jugadors
Players are being added.
amb projecció
with projection
i joves,
and young people,
o relativament joves. Com a mÃnim,
or relatively young. At least,
no són jugadors veterans o veteranÃssims
they are not veteran or very veteran players
com eren les principals peces
how were the main pieces
de la temporada anterior.
from the previous season.
I això genera, per una banda,
And this generates, on the one hand,
una major expectativa de futur
a greater expectation of the future
en el sentit de dir, bé, és un equip que pot tenir
in the sense of saying, well, it's a team that can have
més continuïtat, perquè, com parlà vem
more continuity, because, as we were talking
d'Estevi, jo de Kevin Hanna, són jugadors
From Estevi, I from Kevin Hanna, are players.
que, fins i tot, si haguéssim pogut renovar-los,
that, even if we could have renewed them,
no els hi queda
they don't have any left
una llarga carrera per davant i, per tant,
a long race ahead and, therefore,
ja estaran en la pròrroga de la seva
they will already be in the extension of their
carrera i, per tant,
race and, therefore,
no són jugadors amb els que t'imagines
they are not players you imagine
construint un futur a mig termini.
building a medium-term future.
En canvi,
On the other hand,
el perfil d'aquest jugador,
the profile of this player,
que ja no recordo el dinatge,
that I no longer remember the dinatge,
que ja no recordo el dinatge...
that I no longer remember the wording...
Andràs Tanó. I bé cedit, eh?
You will go, Tanó. And well given, right?
Ni l'hem fitxat. Bé cedit.
We haven't signed him. Well loaned.
Bé cedit. Bé, això encara és més inquietant,
Well granted. Well, that's even more unsettling,
perquè, cedit, si fitxes a algú tan jove
Because, given, if you sign someone so young.
d'una lliga tan
of such a league
desconeguda, diguem...
unknown, let’s say...
Exòtica, se li diuen exòtiques.
Exotic, they are called exotic.
Exòtica o poc contrastada
Exotic or little contrasted
i, a més a més, no el tens fitxat
And, in addition, you don't have him signed.
amb la qual cosa, diguem,
with which, let's say,
pots pensar, és un alt risc, però és una
You can think, it's a high risk, but it's a
inversió amb un possible alt retorn,
investment with a potentially high return,
això m'inquieta més, però...
this worries me more, but...
Jo vull pensar que és
I want to think that it is.
un jugador
a player
que en les categories inferiors
that in the lower categories
a la selecció C
to the selection C
hongaresa sub-20
Hungarian under-20
del 2022, com a efecte europeu,
from 2022, as a European effect,
doncs devia fer un bon
well it must have been a good
paper. Javi Zamora, que sabem
paper. Javi Zamora, that we know
que és un seleccionador
what is a selector
i, per tant, que controla aquest mercat,
and therefore, who controls this market,
li devia veure alguna cosa...
he must have seen something...
Se'l va notar a la llibreteta. Correcte.
He was noticed in the little notebook. Correct.
I ara ha vist l'oportunitat i ha dit, porta'm el cap aquÃ
And now he has seen the opportunity and said, bring my head here.
i veiem si podem fer alguna cosa amb ell.
And let's see if we can do something with him.
Vull pensar que és això.
I want to think that this is it.
Vull pensar que és això i que veurem
I want to believe that this is it and that we will see.
si...
if...
Si surt bé l'aposta o no, si surt malament,
Whether the bet goes well or not, if it goes badly,
doncs això, el tornes i hasta luego, Lucas,
so, you give it back and see you later, Lucas,
o el talles a mitja temporada, com hem fet
or you trim it halfway through the season, as we have done
en altres ocasions,
on other occasions,
i zero compromÃs, tampoc te l'has de menjar.
And zero commitment, you don't have to eat it either.
Anem per la xitxa grossa?
Shall we go for the big prize?
Ara sÃ. Anem pel base
Now yes. Let's go for the base.
titular, sens dubte,
headline, without a doubt,
el que,
the one that,
amb totes les cometes, ha de ser el substitut
with all the quotation marks, it has to be the substitute
de Clem i Hanna. Són perfils
of Clem and Hanna. They are profiles.
molt diferents. No podem esperar el mateix.
very different. We cannot expect the same.
I continuem amb aquesta lÃnia que deies
And we continue with this line that you were mentioning.
de jugador jove, però també té una
of a young player, but he also has a
à mplia experiència. És Paul
broad experience. It's Paul.
Figueres, jugador de la Selva del Camp,
Figueres, player from Selva del Camp,
de Tarragona, català , que ve
from Tarragona, Catalan, who comes
d'Obradoiro,
of Obradoiro,
ve de baixar
it has just come down
de la Liga ACB
of the ACB League
i aquest és
and this is
l'escollit. També és un jugador jove i
the chosen one. He is also a young player and
sembla que ofereix prestacions
it seems to offer benefits
diferents a Clem i Hanna, però que és un
different from Clem and Hanna, but it is a
director de joc que ens pot
game director who can us
encigar la força.
to unleash the strength.
SÃ, és un jugador que porta les dues
Yes, he is a player who brings both.
darreres temporades a la Liga ACB. Primer Girona,
recent seasons in the ACB League. First Girona,
la temporada anterior a Obradoiro, com deies,
the previous season to Obradoiro, as you said,
i que, per tant,
and therefore,
és un jugador
he is a player
en principi que ve d'una categoria
in principle that comes from a category
més alta que no pas
taller than not
la que juga a l'Estima-Norca, i això
the one who plays at Estima-Norca, and that
sempre dona
always give
confiança. L'altre factor és que és
trust. The other factor is that it is
un jugador, com deies,
a player, as you said,
amb arrels
with roots
catalanes, amb vinculació també
Catalans, with connection also
amb les illes, i ara ho comentarem,
with the islands, and now we will comment on it,
i, per tant,
and, therefore,
no hauria de tenir cap problema d'adaptació
shouldn't have any adaptation problems
com si passés
as if it were happening
si véns de lluta
if you come from fighting
o si véns de la Lliga húngara.
Or if you come from the Hungarian League.
Exacte. Ell, hem de dir
Exactly. He, we have to say
que en la seva trajectòria, abans de fer el salt
that in his/her career, before making the leap
a l'ACB, també va jugar a
in the ACB, he also played for
Orense i va passar la temporada
Orense and he spent the season.
2021, si no m'he equivocat, pel
2021, if I'm not mistaken, for the
Palmer Palma, per tant
Palm Palm, therefore
coneix les Balears, i a més és un assidu als estius
he knows the Balearic Islands, and he is also a regular during the summers.
a Menorca, com el
to Menorca, like him
70% de catalans
70% of Catalans
els estius
the summers
els passa aquà a Menorca, coneix
It happens here in Menorca, you know.
bé l'illa, té amics
Well, the island has friends.
a l'equip, perquè també havia destacat
to the team, because he/she had also stood out
en categories inferiors, havia format a la base
In lower categories, I had trained at the base.
de la
of the
Barça, i
Barça, and
per tant, sembla ser que aquest
therefore, it seems that this
peatge de l'adaptació
toll of adaptation
el salvarem. També
We will save him. Also.
coneix molt
knows a lot
Javi Zamora, l'entrenador, que s'està , podem dir,
Javi Zamora, the coach, who is being, we can say,
fent una guà rdia
doing a guard duty
pretoniana, s'està fent un equip a base de
Pretonian, a team is being formed based on
soldados de Zamora, perquè
soldiers of Zamora, because
tots els fitxatges fins al moment
all the signings so far
el que destaquen és precisament que
what stands out is precisely that
un dels motius de major pes pels quals han decidit
one of the main reasons why they have decided
incorporar-se al projecte de l'estiu a Menorca
join the summer project in Menorca
és que hi hagi precisament
it's that there is precisely
Javi Zamora, i que ell
Javi Zamora, and what about him?
en temporades anteriors
in previous seasons
en experiències conjuntes
in joint experiences
plegats anteriors els havia aconseguit
previous folds had achieved them
fer, ha aconseguit treure
to do, has managed to take out
un bon rendiment, i que per tant ara creuen que és un bon moment
a good performance, and therefore they now believe it is a good time
per tornar a posar-se les seves ordres
to put his orders back in place
i explotar, si pot ser,
and explode, if possible,
perquè Pol Figueres té ganes, diguem, de
because Pol Figueres is eager, let's say, to
tornar a sentir-se
to feel again
important i jugador
important and player
de primer nivell, perquè
of first level, because
a la CB, doncs amb el basquet
to the CB, then with basketball
Girona va ser prà cticament testimonial
Girona was practically testimonial.
la seva presència, Mobrador i Rob
their presence, Mobrador and Rob
va jugar més minuts,
he played more minutes,
però en una temporada complicada
but in a difficult season
on l'equip va acabar baixant, i per tant...
where the team ended up going down, and therefore...
I va jugar molts minuts de rebot, també, per
He played many minutes as a substitute, too, for
diria que el base titular, Mobrador i Rob
I would say that the starting point guard, Mobrador and Rob.
no sé si es va lesionar, o va acabar
I don't know if he got injured, or if he finished.
fent un... o es va exiliar, no sé com va anar
doing a... or he/she went into exile, I don't know how it went
això que fan a vegades els americans
this thing that Americans do sometimes
però la veritat és que
but the truth is that
no era, en principi, el seu rol
it was not, in principle, their role
tenir massa minuts
to have too many minutes
tot i que en va acabar jugant
although he ended up playing
més dels previstos, però evidentment
more than expected, but obviously
a l'Èstia en jugarà molts
In the Euphoria, many will play.
no sé si tants com Clevin Hanna
I don't know if as many as Clevin Hanna.
però Clevin Hanna en jugava
but Clevin Hanna played it
tots els que podia
all those I could
per edat i per faltes, però vull dir que
for age and for mistakes, but I want to say that
en jugava moltÃssim, i per tant, Pol Figueres
I played a lot, and therefore, Pol Figueres.
escalfa, escalfa fort
heat up, heat up strong
I aquà hem fet un...
And here we have made a...
el nostre particular scouting
our particular scouting
i hem anat a parlar amb una persona
And we have gone to talk to a person.
que coneix bé Pol Figueres
who knows Pol Figueres well
que el coneix de molt a prop
who knows him very well
és el nostre company d'IB3
He is our colleague from IB3.
Xisco Cruz, que ens ha fet
Xisco Cruz, who has made us
alguns comentaris sobre
some comments about
com és el Pol Figueres jugador
How is the player Pol Figueras?
en aquest fitxatge de l'Èstia
in this signing of the Estia
a Menorca, no m'escolta si et sembla
In Menorca, they don't listen to me if you think so.
què en diu d'ell, Xisco Cruz
What does Xisco Cruz say about him?
SÃ, d'entrada, què ens en diu
Yes, at first, what does he/she/it say to us?
del seu carà cter com a jugador
of his character as a player
És una persona molt introvertida
She is a very introverted person.
us heu de donar en compte
you have to take into account
els aficionats que no és un jugador
the fans that are not a player
gaire expressiu a la pista
rather expressive on the track
que no té unes declaracions molt
that doesn't have very strong statements
estridents, que no té un comportament
strident, which does not have a behavior
bé, com tindrien
well, as they would have
més passional, o millor com tindrien
more passionate, or better how they would have
altres jugadors, però és un lÃder
other players, but he is a leader
és un lÃder dins el vestidor, és un lÃder silenciós
He is a leader in the locker room, he is a silent leader.
és un jugador molt cerebral
He is a very cerebral player.
i va arribar aquÃ
and arrived here
a Palma procedent de
to Palma coming from
de Laurence, havia
of Laurence, had
tingut una gran carrera
had a great career
de formació en el Barça
youth training at Barça
havia guanyat prà cticament tot
he had won practically everything
en les categories inferiors
in the lower categories
això li havia permès també
this had also allowed him/her
debutar en la selecció espanyola
debut in the Spanish national team
allà va conèixer
there he met
la selecció espanyola de les categories
the Spanish selection of the categories
base, allà va conèixer en el Javi Zamora
base, there he met Javi Zamora
i va arribar
and it arrived
fins i tot a debutar a la Lliga CB
even to debut in the CB League
ens explicava també
he also explained to us
en toda broma quan este aquà que
in every joke when you are here that
li va arribar l'oportunitat
he received the opportunity
de debutar a Manresa a la CB
to debut in Manresa in the CB
perquè hi havia moltÃssimes baixes
because there were a lot of casualties
i li va sorprendre
and it surprised him/her
la telefonada perquè
the phone call because
pogués participar d'aquest debut
could participate in this debut
a la CB i malauradament
to the CB and unfortunately
per ell això
for him this
ja va ser com un punt
it was already like a dot
i final a la seva etapa
and finally at the end of their stage
en el Barça, no va tornar a jugar
in the Barça, he/she did not play again
amb el Club Blaugrana a la
with the Blaugrana Club at the
mà xima categoria, va haver de cercar-se
maximum category, had to be sought
la vida a l'Alep, va tenir
life in Aleppo had
una bona temporada a Laurence
a good season to Laurence
i va arribar, com dèiem aquÃ
and arrived, as we said here
a Palma perquè es va lesionar
to Palma because he/she was injured
just a final de la
just at the end of the
pretemporada en Sharif Drame, que era un jugador
preseason in Sharif Drame, who was a player
d'origen suec
of Swedish origin
això va provocar que al Palma
this caused that in Palma
necessités un base
you need a base
d'urgència, era
of urgency, it was
aproximadament al mes d'octubre
approximately in the month of October
ell no tenia equip,
he had no equipment,
estava esperant una proposta interessant
I was waiting for an interesting proposal.
d'un club de primer nivell
of a top-tier club
que pogués jugar per competir
so that I could play to compete
pel playoff
for the playoffs
pel Palma
for Palma
Aquest és el context
This is the context.
d'aquest origen, diguem, del fitxatge
from this origin, let's say, of the signing
pel Palma, però també el Xisco
for Palma, but also Xisco
ens fa una valoració
it gives us an assessment
del fitxatge ara en aquesta nova etapa
of the signing now in this new stage
a l'Estia Menorca
to Estia Menorca
SÃ, jo crec que el fitxatge de
Yes, I believe that the signing of
Pol Figueres és una gran contractació
Pol Figueres is a great signing.
per l'Estia Menorca
for Estia Menorca
que a més té diferents
which also has different
diferents lectures
different readings
en primer lloc crec que
first of all I think that
hem de destacar que és un enimurat
we must highlight that he is a fool
de Menorca
of Menorca
això ja crea un vincle especial
this already creates a special bond
entre el jugador i el club
between the player and the club
jo recordo d'haver tingut
I remember having had
moltes converses amb ell
many conversations with him
quan ell va fitxar pel Palma
when he signed for Palma
va estar aquà dues temporades
He was here for two seasons.
i xerrava molt de la passió
and I talked a lot about passion
que ell tenia per Menorca
that he had for Menorca
com molts catalans
like many Catalans
per una altra banda
on the other hand
però ell estibatjava molt
but he was very pushy
allà a la seva xicota
over there to his girlfriend
també me'n record que
I also remember that
tenia una especial preferència per la zona
I had a special preference for the area.
d'aponent
from the west
i la veritat és que l'Estia
And the truth is that Estia.
firma un jugador
sign a player
que és un gran director de joc
he is a great game director
Aquesta és la principal
This is the main one.
caracterÃstica segurament
probably characteristic
tant fent una miqueta de scouting
just doing a little bit of scouting
veient vÃdeos
watching videos
veient algun partit
watching a game
més els comentaris del Xisco
plus Xisco's comments
sà que és un perfil que com deies
yes, it is a profile like you said
és molt diferent al de Clavin Hanna
it is very different from Clavin Hanna
en el sentit que no és un anotador
in the sense that it is not a notepad
com a primera opció sinó que és un director de joc
as a first option but it is a game director
és més un organitzador, és més un dinamitzador
he is more of an organizer, he is more of a promoter
i hi ha el dubte també
and there is also the doubt
de si ens pot oferir
if you can offer us
també anotació
also notation
que és una cosa
what is a thing
que n'anirem faltats
that we will be lacking in it
amb la baixa de Clavin Hanna
with the absence of Clavin Hanna
que recordem que era dels mà xims anotadors
that we remember was one of the top scorers
de la competició
of the competition
i la principal amenaça d'un jugador exterior
and the main threat of an outside player
acostuma a ser el tir
it tends to be the shot
i aquest no era el punt fort
and this was not the strong point
de Pol Figueres fa uns anys
by Pol Figueres a few years ago
però la cosa ha millorat
but the thing has improved
i és molt bon director de joc
And he is a very good game director.
ha millorat molt el seu tir exterior
He has greatly improved his outside shot.
sà que recordo quan va venir aquÃ
I do remember when he/she came here.
que tenia molt de problemes perquè els seus percentatges
that had a lot of problems because of its percentages
en el triple eren molt baixos
in the triple they were very low
de fet
in fact
en els scoutings de rival, els primers partits
in the rival scoutings, the first matches
això s'anotava molt
this was noted a lot
que el flotaven, el deixaven tirar
that they floated him, they let him drop
però
but
ell va evolucionar moltÃssim
he evolved a lot
a mitjana temporada
in mid-season
amb el seu llançament
with its launch
i es va convertir en un jugador molt fiable
and he became a very reliable player
tant en defensa com en la direcció de joc
both in defense and in gameplay direction
que és un jugador que repartia moltes assistències
he is a player who provided many assists
a la seva categoria
to its category
i va acabar amb uns percentatges
and ended up with some percentages
molt elevats en el triple
very high in the triple
i aquesta combinació
and this combination
d'una millora en el tir
of an improvement in the shot
i per tant major amenaça ofensiva
and therefore greater offensive threat
juntament amb la seva tasca
together with his/her task
també darrere perquè és un jugador
also behind because he is a player
que defensivament ofereix prestacions
that defensively offers features
més sobretot la seva faceta
especially his/her aspect
com a director d'orquestra
as a conductor
va fer que passés a ser un jugador bastant codiciat
made me become a quite sought-after player
i bueno recordo
And well, I remember.
l'Ã’scar Ligueras
Óscar Ligueras
que ja començava a tenir propostes
that was already starting to have proposals
per anar a la Lliga CB
to go to the CB League
perquè havia fet un final de temporada
because he had done a season finale
explosiu
explosive
en qualsevol cas ell va decidir
In any case, he decided.
quedar aquà a Palma
stay here in Palma
perquè era un projecte
because it was a project
a llarg plaç
in the long term
ell entenia que s'havia millorat molt
he understood that it had improved a lot
sota la direcció dels tècnics
under the direction of the technicians
que hi havia aquÃ
what was here
en especial amb en Pepe Lasso
especially with Pepe Lasso
que ell podria fer una temporada
that he could do a season
millor
better
i guanyar-se un bon contracte a la CB
and earn a good contract at the CB
per la propera temporada
for the next season
i aixà va succeir
and thus it happened
sà que és cert que l'equip
it is true that the team
no va respondre
he did not respond
les contractacions no van ser gaire bones
The recruitments were not very good.
l'equip va canviar molt de jugadors
the team changed a lot of players
ell també
he also
va tenir record
he had a memory
a mitjan temporada
mid-season
un problema familiar important
an important family problem
això li va afectar
this affected him/her
en el seu rendiment
in its performance
va acabar molt bé
it ended very well
el curs
the course
però l'equip malauradament va baixar de categoria
but the team unfortunately was relegated
va baixar on està actualment
he went down where he is currently
que és la Lep Plata
what is the Lep Plata
però la veritat és que les seves prestacions
but the truth is that its performance
van ser molt elevades
they were very high
van ser molt bones
they were very good
i això li va permetre
and this allowed him/her
obrir definitivament
to open permanently
obrir-se les portes definitivament
to open the doors definitively
de la Lliga CB
of the CB League
va ser contractat pel Girona
he was hired by Girona
recordem l'any que en Marc Gasol
we remember the year that Marc Gasol
actuava com a president
he acted as president
i com a jugador
and as a player
va jugar aquà a Palma
he played here in Palma
en Marc Gasol m'estic referint
I'm referring to Marc Gasol.
i bé ja tenia grans informes
And well, I already had large reports.
d'aquest jugador que finalment
of this player who finally
va anar a Girona
he went to Girona
a Girona com bé se veu no va tenir una participació
In Girona, as you can see, there was not much participation.
molt molt gran
very very big
però sà que li va permetre
but did allow him/her
anar posteriorment a
to go later to
a jugar a l'Obrador Iro
to play at the Iro Workshop
allà sà que ha gaudit de mancominuts
there he has indeed enjoyed communal resources
però crec que
but I believe that
és un jugador que a la Lep Port
he is a player who plays in the Lep Port
en aquest cas
in this case
pot donar un rendiment
can provide a yield
excepcional
exceptional
Home si no te'n cigala
"Let's go if you don't have a problem."
el Xisco Cruz amb les seves paraules
Xisco Cruz with his words
escolta'm vol dir que ets de pedra
Listen to me, does that mean you are made of stone?
Grà cies Xisco Cruz
Thank you, Xisco Cruz.
jo un
I one
lÃder silenciós
silent leader
i un director d'orquestra
and a conductor
jo ho tinc fet eh
I've got it done, you know.
jo no necessito gaire cosa més
I don't need much else.
jo ja estic començant a escriure
I am already starting to write.
Oda a Pol Figueres
Ode to Pol Figueres
ja tinc nou referent
I have a new reference now.
i nou Ãdol
and new idol
i no l'he vist jugar encara
and I haven't seen him play yet
però jo ja m'abraço
but I already embrace myself
jo ja m'abraço
I already hug myself.
jo ja m'abraço a Pol Figueres
I already hug Pol Figueres.
a més pel que diuen eh bon tio
Moreover, from what they say, he's a good guy.
que cuida molt el vestidor
who takes great care of the dressing room
que
that
bona persona al cap i a la fi
good person in the end and at the beginning
també sembla que sigui un criteri que
it also seems to be a criterion that
el club té bastant en compte
the club takes quite into account
perquè almenys en totes les incorporacions
because at least in all the incorporations
a les explicacions oficials
to the official explanations
que dona el club es fa
what the club gives is done
èmfasi en
emphasis on
que siguin bones persones
may they be good people
jugadors educats fins i tot posa
educated players even puts
en notes de premsa
in press releases
denuncis de fitxatges vull dir que
I mean recruitment complaints that
sembla ser que és un valor que té molt
It seems to be a value that has a lot.
en compte el club segurament
I count on the club probably.
el club està una mica escaldat
the club is a bit burned out
d'alguns fitxatges d'anys anteriors
of some signings from previous years
recordo algun jugador
I remember some player.
que feia bona pinta com el senyor
it looked good like the gentleman
dic bé que va aparèixer un temps i va
I say well that a time appeared and it went.
desaparèixer i no se sap per què segurament
disappear and it is not known why probably
per motius extra esportius
for extra-sporting reasons
en tot cas
in any case
apostar per bones persones acostuma
betting on good people usually
a ser una bona aposta
to be a good bet
i en aquest cas fins i tot algú que
and in this case even someone who
sembla que s'implica en els projectes
it seems that he/she gets involved in the projects
ens parlava el Xisco d'aquesta
Xisco was talking to us about this.
fidelitat que va mostrar diguem pel
loyalty that he showed let's say for the
Palma quan
Palma when
tenia altres propostes però va
I had other proposals but go ahead.
apostar per seguir a Leport quan el Palma
betting on following Leport when Palma
jugava a Leport
I played at Leport.
amb l'expectativa de que
with the expectation that
el club fes un pas endavant i per tant
the club took a step forward and therefore
aspirés segurament alguna cosa més
I would probably aspire to something more.
no va sortir bé
it didn't turn out well
però fitxant per l'Estia Menorca també
but signing for Estia Menorca as well
hi ha algunes declaracions en què parla
there are some statements in which he speaks
que el club li ha explicat i li ha dit
that the club has explained to him and has told him
que a mig termini
that in the medium term
atenció a mig termini
medium-term attention
ojo eh el projecte
watch out for the project
de l'Estia Menorca ojo ojo ojo
of Estia Menorca watch out watch out watch out
és pujar a la Lliga CB
it's about moving up to the CB League
com et quedes?
How do you feel?
jo encigalat encigalat encara que sigui
I am excited, excited even if it's just.
a mig termini i la paciència no sigui la meva
in the medium term and patience is not my virtue
major virtut la veritat és que
the greatest virtue is that truth is
un jugador que s'apunta i que pujar al
a player who signs up and climbs to the
carro també pensant
cart also thinking
que això pot anar més doncs tot això
that this can go further than all this
per mi quadra amb aquesta lÃnia de
for me, it fits with this line of
mitjans més joves de jugadors
younger player resources
amb projecció que et poden
with projection that they can
durar no una temporada ni mitja
to last not a season or even half a season
sinó que potser et poden durar dos o tres anys
but they might last you two or three years
sobretot si es compleixen aquestes
especially if these are met
aquesta voluntat
this will
d'anar creixent
of growing
també i d'anar-se fent fort a la categoria
also to become stronger in the category
per aspirar fins i tot a la categoria
to aspire even to the category
més alta
taller
quan aquests jugadors estiguin en el seu prime
when these players are at their prime
a la seva edat millor
at their age better
és que Borja Figueres té 26 anys
Borja Figueres is 26 years old.
si no està ara al seu prime
if he/she is not in his/her prime now
ja estarà d'aquà un mes és a dir
it will be ready in a month, that is to say
està calentito
it's warm
si està a punt d'arribar-hi
if you are about to arrive there
des dels 27 als 30 seria com
from 27 to 30 would be like
l'edat d'or dels jugadors de bà squet
the golden age of basketball players
i és
and it is
una miqueta el perfil
a little bit the profile
d'aquest nou base titular
of this new starting base
de l'Estia Menorca i
of Estia Menorca and
també ho és del nou
it is also of the new
a la pivot titular
to the starting pivot
una altra cara nova és Jaime Fernández
Another newcomer is Jaime Fernández.
i ja aviso que el meu cervell
and I warn that my brain
ha quedat registrat com a Jaime MartÃnez
It has been registered as Jaime MartÃnez.
no no en sèrio
no no seriously
estic fent esforços sobrehumans
I am making superhuman efforts.
per rectificar-lo
to rectify it
però ja l'he codificat com a Jaime MartÃnez
but I have already coded it as Jaime MartÃnez
per tant a partir d'ara sempre que jo faci referència
therefore, from now on whenever I make reference
a Jaime MartÃnez
to Jaime MartÃnez
és Jaime Fernández o li haurem de buscar un sobrenom
It's Jaime Fernández or we will have to find him a nickname.
que et dic que tampoc tardarem massa
I'm telling you we won't take long either.
home segur que no
man surely not
Jaime Fernández què ens en dius?
Jaime Fernández, what do you have to say about it?
de Jaime Fernández què ens en dius?
What can you tell us about Jaime Fernández?
mira té 24 anys
Look, she is 24 years old.
aquesta és fà cil la resta perquè va néixer
this one is easy the rest because it was born
el 2000 procedeix del
the 2000 comes from the
Valladolid
Valladolid
i també
and also
un dels principals motius
one of the main reasons
pels quals aterra aquà a l'illa
for which lands here on the island
a part del projecte és perquè
part of the project is because
també coneix
also knows
Javi Zamora
Javi Zamora
un soldado más
one more soldier
de Javi Zamora
by Javi Zamora
i
I
jo crec que ve no per ser titular
I believe he comes not to be a starter.
per entrar a la rotació
to enter the rotation
ha fet un bon paper a Valladolid
He has performed well in Valladolid.
però té
but it has
molta
lots
capacitat de millora
capacity for improvement
té molt marge de millora
has a lot of room for improvement
i pot acabar sent perfectament titular
and can end up being perfectly a starter
però
but
jo me la jugo
I'm taking a risk.
i
I
crec que encara podem
I think we can still.
tenir un
to have a
reforç que a priori
reinforcement that at first glance
pugui ser titular
may be a holder
que saps coses?
What do you know?
no, no sé absolutament res
no, I don't know absolutely anything
és especulació?
Is it speculation?
parlant amb la gent
talking with people
et diuen que
they tell you that
té marge de millora
has room for improvement
i que és una aposta de club
and that it is a club commitment
pot ser un jugador important
he can be an important player
però que potser no seria el titular
but that perhaps would not be the headline
indiscutible d'entrada
undisputed from the start
perquè jo feia cà lculs
because I was doing calculations
lògicament
logically
i a hores d'ara del cinquet titular
and at this point of the fifth headline
en el meu cervell
in my brain
només hi ha
there is only
Pol Figueres
Pol Figueres
Alderete de tres
Alderete of three
i sembla ser
and it seems to be
que VÃctor Ortega s'ho estaria repensant
that VÃctor Ortega would be reconsidering it
i compliria
I would comply.
el contracte
the contract
compliria amb l'any de contracte que té
he would comply with the year of contract that he has
tenia aquella clà usula de fuga
it had that escape clause
d'escape
of escape
que tenia ofertes de clubs
that he had offers from clubs
potser amb més projecció
perhaps with more projection
que li donaven la llibertat
that they were given freedom
per poder trencar el contracte amb l'Est de Menorca
to be able to break the contract with the East of Menorca
i en Arsene
and in Arsene
sembla ser que les darreres setmanes
it seems that in the last few weeks
s'ho hauria repensat i potser
he would have reconsidered it and maybe
prà cticament segur
practically sure
continuarà un any més a Vintaufa
will continue for another year at Vintaufa
a l'1, el 3 i el 5 tancats
on the 1st, the 3rd, and the 5th closed
però faltarien encara dos jugadors
but there would still be two players missing
i
i
alguns
some
no n'hi ha massa marge
there isn't much margin
crec que haurien de sumar experiència
I think they should gain experience.
quan dic experiència vull dir
when I say experience I mean
anys
years
perquè Pol Figueres ja hem dit que s'ha experimentat
because Pol Figueres has already said that he has been experimented
però vull dir
but I mean
puretes
puretes
potser perquè vinc acostumat al bon paper que van fer Clem i Hannah
perhaps because I am used to the good job that Clem and Hannah did
no dic que no m'influenci això
I'm not saying that this doesn't influence me.
però
but
està molt bé el projecte a mig i llarg termini
the project is very good in the medium and long term
i l'aposta pel jove
and the bet on the young one
ho compartim
we share it
ferms defensors
strong defenders
però sà que s'ha de cercar una mica també l'equilibri
but you do need to seek a bit of balance as well
tu no pots anar
you cannot go
i veient més com estan anant els equips
and seeing more how the teams are doing
a la primera feb que hi ha uns fitxatges
on the first February, there are some signings
tothom s'està fotent uns equipassos que fa por
Everyone is having some scary teams.
no pots anar per aquesta lliga
you can't go down this league
amb el més veterÃ
with the most experienced
de 26 anys
26 years old
interessant
interesting
jo no sé per què pensava
I don't know why I was thinking.
que Jaime Fernández MartÃnez
that Jaime Fernández MartÃnez
venia per ser titular
I came to be the holder.
més que res perquè
more than anything because
ofereix unes prestacions i té un estil de joc
offers features and has a style of play
prou complet
pretty complete
pel que li he vist
from what I've seen of him
que evidentment és poc
that is obviously little
però el que jo li he vist m'ha semblat que és un jugador
but what I've seen from him seems to me that he is a player
que t'ofereix versatilitat
that offers you versatility
que és una cosa que l'any passat no tenÃem
what is something that we didn't have last year
l'any passat jugà vem amb dos homes alts
Last year we played with two tall men.
des que va arribar Stevich
since Stevich arrived
amb Arteaga i Stevich en aquesta dupla
with Arteaga and Stevich in this duo
que tots dos ocupaven
that both occupied
un espai similar
a similar space
Stevich tenia capacitat
Stevich had capacity.
de fer aquell tir de 4 metres de
to make that 4-meter shot of
mitja distà ncia
half distance
però no podia obrir el camp
but I couldn't open the field
com que no era una amenaça des del
since it was not a threat from the
tir de 3
three-pointer
això feia que Arteaga estigués una miqueta
this made Arteaga a little bit
més ofegat
more drowned
fent nosa més que no pas servei
making noise more than serving
i això amb Jaime Fernández
and this with Jaime Fernández
la veritat és que
the truth is that
canvia perquè és un jugador que té bona mÃ
He changes because he is a player who has a good hand.
que té capacitat de tir però alhora té molt bon
that has shooting capacity but at the same time has a very good
joc de peus i per tant pot ser perfectament
foot game and therefore it can be perfectly
un 5
a 5
jugar a la posició de 5
play in the position of 5
i té el sabre
and has the sword
i moviments
and movements
i intimidació i per tant
and intimidation and therefore
té aquests recursos que estan
has these resources that are
jo crec que també estan pensats segurament perquè pugui jugar
I believe they are probably also intended for me to be able to play.
tant de 4 com de 5
both 4 and 5
sigui perquè Arteaga
whether because Arteaga
finalment
finally
fes un altre cop de cap perquè a més a més s'ha casat
make another turn of the head because moreover she has gotten married
i això volguis que no t'altera molt
and whether you want it or not, it affects you a lot
les hormones
the hormones
doncs no sabem
well, we don't know
quina serà la decisió final i per tant
what will the final decision be and therefore
el club s'acaba cobrint les espatlles amb un jugador
the club ends up covering its shoulders with a player
que pots combinar de diferents maneres
that you can combine in different ways
i per tant em trobo
and therefore I find myself
que és un perfil molt interessant perquè et permet combinar
it is a very interesting profile because it allows you to combine
segons les necessitats
according to the needs
i la confecció final de la plantilla
and the final preparation of the template
i ens queda
and it remains with us
per fitxar
to clock in
tot el que sigui material
everything that is material
d'importació
importation
de segona mà sempre però d'importació
second-hand always but imported
és a dir tenim les places d'estranger
That is to say, we have foreign places.
encara estan per cobrir
they are still to be covered
tu vols americans
you want Americans
res més
nothing more
tens aquesta preocupació per l'experiència
you have this concern for the experience
i l'edat
and the age
jo crec que hi ha marge per incorporar
I believe there is room to incorporate.
un pes pesat no només
a heavy weight not only
a nivell elètic sinó també
not only at an electrical level but also
a nivell d'experiència
in terms of experience
però tu deies
but you said
experiència que vol dir anys
experience that means years
no sé si és la mateixa cosa perquè pot ser algú
I don't know if it's the same thing because it could be someone.
que sigui molt veterÃ
to be very veteran
però que no tingui cap experiència a Europa
but has no experience in Europe
i això també canvia el panorama
and this also changes the landscape
per exemple a la Lliga CB
for example in the CB League
hi ha hagut un equip que ha fitxat Rudy Gay
There has been a team that has signed Rudy Gay.
t'encanta tant
you love it so much
som un gran fitxatge
we are a great signing
però és un jugador que només ha jugat a Estats Units
but he is a player who has only played in the United States
a un alt nivell a més a més
at a higher level moreover
ha sigut un jugador molt bo a Estats Units
He has been a very good player in the United States.
que és gran i per tant té molts partits a l'esquena
that is big and therefore has many matches behind it
però no ha jugat mai fora del seu paÃs
but he has never played outside his country
i per tant té l'experiència
and therefore has the experience
és a dir té els anys però no té l'experiència
That is to say, he has the years but does not have the experience.
no tens raó
you are not right
jo potser em referia a algun
I was perhaps referring to someone.
descarte d'un equip
discard of a team
ACB o europeu
ACB or European
doncs això
well, that's it
que finalment no
that finally not
no trobou forat
I can't find a hole.
i recal aquÃ
I recall here.
això jo crec que passarÃ
I believe this will happen.
crec que el mercat està prou mogut
I think the market is quite active.
també ACB
also ACB
com perquè diguem vagin
As we say, let them go.
hi hagi un filtratge no?
There is a filtering, isn't there?
saps allò que feien per trobar l'or
Do you know what they did to find the gold?
a la gent a Colorado?
to the people in Colorado?
doncs una mica vagi passant el mateix
well, a bit the same is happening
les diferents categories com més altes es van quedant
the different categories are being left behind as the higher ones
les pedres més grosses
the largest stones
però igual ens arriba una petita joieta
but we might still receive a little jewel
que no ha trobat lloc en els
that has not found a place in the
equips grossos no?
Big teams, right?
i per tant tenim aquests dos forats
And therefore we have these two holes.
a la plaça de com a mÃnim
in the square at least
ens en tenim més però diguem
we have more but let's say
del 5 titular tenim l'1
from the 5 headlines we have the 1
tenim el 3 si es manté el
we have the 3 if it stays the same
Derete i tindrÃem el 5 si es manté
We would have the 5 if it stays.
Arteaga hi ha la possibilitat
Arteaga there is the possibility
de que Fernández jugui de 4
that Fernández plays as a 4
titular o de
headline or of
home alt suplent
tall substitute
que pugui jugar de 4 i de 5
that can play as a 4 and as a 5
per tant hi hauria l'espai per un 4
therefore there would be space for a 4
que aquà podria ser un jugador més atlètic
that here could be a more athletic player
com tu demanes i també
as you ask and also
un escolta que podria ser
a listener that could be
o hauria de ser segurament un jugador
or I should probably be a player.
amb amenaça de tir exterior per compensar
with external fire threat to compensate
que el Derete no és la seva gran virtut
that the Derete is not his great virtue
i Pol Figueres tampoc
and Pol Figueres neither
per tant em sembla indispensable
therefore it seems indispensable to me
l'amenaça de 3
the threat of 3
que sà que ho faria
that I would indeed do it
Eric Demers per exemple
Eric Demers for example
sÃ
yes
sà sÃ
yes yes
falten reforços
reinforcements are needed
amb Pol Figueres, Demers
with Pol Figueres, Demers
Diego El Derete, Jaime MartÃnez
Diego El Derete, Jaime MartÃnez
i Arteaga de 5 titular
and Arteaga as a starter at 5
no és suficient
not enough
Queremos más club
We want more club.
i jo crec que el club segurament està esperant
And I think that the club is probably waiting.
per aconseguir més qualitat
to achieve more quality
segurament el fet que Demers
surely the fact that Demers
diguem no sapiguem res de Demers
let's say we know nothing about Demers
és perquè segurament se l'estan guardant a la butxaca
It's because they're probably keeping it in their pocket.
per si no surt
in case it doesn't come out
millor, és a dir
better, that is to say
segurament és una opció que no està descartada
it is probably an option that is not ruled out
perquè té prestacions
because it has benefits
i té talents que són
and has talents that are
molt necessaris en aquest equip
very necessary in this team
però segurament estan dient
but they are probably saying
espera't
