Basketball is very deep in the bowels of Deportivo Roca. He has been for almost 30 years when he won the National Promotion Tournament (TNA) at midnight on May 14, 1993 in General Pico, La Pampa. The days of Naranja became elite when he was part of the National League Superior Tournament and that precedent forever marked his affinity with good basketball.
From there, many events were chained, most of them unhappy, where the rise and fall of the sports plane did its thing. However, what never went extinct from the orange vein was the passion for the hoop, the parquet and the painted area.
Although it is only a hopeful beginning that is laying the first foundations of a reconstruction that took many years, the Depo once once more vibrates with basketball. The Federal League that has him as the leader of the South Division It has been the trigger for people to refill the Poli at 827, as happened on Sunday once morest Pacífico, where Depo won 82-75, reaching 14 victories in the last 15 games.
“Seeing the Poli like this fills you with joy because you understand that work is being done well. Seeing that people get excited once more with a team that plays good basketball and battles the games is very gratifying. It is one of the most beautiful things that this sport has”, he assures Adolfo García Barros, an essential pillar of the team led by Sebastián García.
Depo has won ten consecutive wins and for Fito the positive streak has an explanation. “You don’t think in streaks, but in a work process and setting short and medium-term goals. Of course, to achieve those goals you have to win games, but the main thing was always trying to find a game identity, to be able to lower Sebastián’s philosophy on how to apply his game concept and how our star player should be, which is the defending. The great merit is to have found that team chemistry. All this is the consequence of a long work process”.
P – What are the team’s main strengths?
R – There are three great virtues. The first is that we managed to put together a group, a team. From the first to the last player, together with the coaching staff and the leadership. I think that’s why there is this situation of being already classified for the playoffs and going in search of the ‘1’ in the area. Another great virtue is defense, it is the strongest part of our game and the main person responsible for all these joys. And I think the other no less question is that there are no egos in this team. Each one has his role and so far in the tournament each player has had a match, a decisive moment. And so it is in each of the encounters. They are all important.
P- Do you feel like a reference? How do you contribute your experience to the service of the group?
R- Like Sebastián (García), like Leo (Ansaloni), like all the people who have dedicated a lot of time to the club for years and who have adopted this shirt that we already have tattooed on our bodies, we are looking at the moment to make relay passes with the younger. It was my turn to be captain at the time when Leo and Diego (Casemayor), still playing but in retirement, gave me the tape. We did something similar now with Seba. The captain is now Agustín Sánchez (scorer once morest the Dean with 25 points) And it’s good that they pass on the responsibility to you, having support to help you in the process and being able to continue guiding them from inside the field, just as they did with me. Deportivo Roca is clear regarding this: accompanying the processes. One tries to share the experiences lived and hopefully in the future they can do the same. We are really enjoying this moment.”
P- Where do you explain this very particular moment that the squad is experiencing?
R- This news is not from one day to the next, it is part of a long work process, of having a projection and I think the head of all this is Sebastián García. Little by little the team was assembling, generating interest in the youth and understanding that the path is made with the boys of the formative. That gives it neither more nor less than identity, which for me is the most important aspect of this group”.
