Diablos Rojos basketball team targets LNBP championship title

The Diablos Rojos del México basketball team is determined to bring the Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional (LNBP) championship back home this season. Under the guidance of new Brazilian coach Gustavo de Conti, the team is aiming for their second title.

The upcoming season promises an exciting blend of Mexican and Brazilian basketball talent, set to ignite the Gimnasio Olímpico Juan de la Barrera. This fusion of styles is expected to enrich the capital city's team, especially after their bid for a second consecutive championship was thwarted last November by Fuerza Regia de Monterrey.

“

In our team, the level of the Mexicans is very good. They are very intelligent. [...] I think it's the same in other teams. Their player level has developed. The team is in development. Day by day we have to build.

Assistant coach Bruno Porto praised the skill of the Mexican players on the roster, noting their intelligence and the overall development of the league's talent. "Their player level has developed. The team is in development. Day by day we have to build," Porto Prado stated. He emphasized the continuous growth and building process within the team.

“

It will be important to start on the right foot here. What has characterized me most is hard work. I have never given up. [...] We have gone from less to more. Right now, we are adjusting details for the debut because we have been working hard since the preseason. Numbers matter, but if I don't score points, I'm content with winning. I would like to bring the championship back home.

Mexican player Alberto Cruz echoed Porto's sentiments, expressing his commitment to helping the Diablos Rojos secure the championship. Cruz, known for his hard work and perseverance, stated, "We have gone from less to more. Right now, we are adjusting details for the debut because we have been working hard since the preseason. Numbers matter, but if I don't score points, I'm content with winning. I would like to bring the championship back home."

Venezuelan player Michael Carrera also expressed optimism, foreseeing a different season for the team, not only due to Coach Gustavo de Conti's integration but also the addition of key figures like Bruno Cardoso, who has been called up to the Brazilian national team. Carrera highlighted the team's positive reception of the new additions, stating, "We know that this year will be different."

“

We are very happy with them because they understand us. We know that this year will be different. [...] They have realized that we have a very competitive league.
