The Club Baloncesto Los Barrios (small town of about 20,000 inhabitants in the province Cadiz) was founded in 1995 and in just two years managed to pass the First Provincial to the very LEB. The story of this meteoric rise was as follows: after finishing the 1996-97 campaign gets classified to compete in the ascent phase the EBA League, one that took place in Santa Cruz de La Palma and lived the historic rise of UB, which just defeated the Los Barrios in the semifinals. However, despite failing to reach the EBA, the tub box then managed to get into the LEB League exclusive rights after acquiring its rival federation of provinces, the city of Algeciras. Since then, the club president Juan Spain has managed to maintain this category without going too much trouble, although not among never moved senior positions in the same (his best finish was a 7 th place in the season. 98/99).

BASES:
14 # Pedro Rivero : Madrid base of 28 years old and 1.84 meters tall. Formed in the lower categories of Claret, before passing through the Ferroser Ponferrada and Real Madrid B. In the 00/01 season agreed to the LEB-2 with the Complutense University, where he and Nacho Yanez and Javier Simon was promoted to the LEB in an emotional play-off to the UB La Palma. However, the following year continued playing in the LEB-2 in the ranks of Gandia Basketball. After demonstrating all its quality and Gandia Complutense, jumped to the LEB in the ranks of Cantabria Lobos, where despite good games do not count too much with him, so he decided to go to Cáceres, where he had the chance be the point guard. After an acceptable campaign in Extremadura, decided to pack up and accept the challenge of bringing the game of CB Leon (04/05), staying at the gates of promotion. The 05/06 campaign with the technician went to Tenerife Basketball Angel Jarecki and things did not go well at all, so last season decided to accept the offer of Los Barrios, where he faces his second season ... Last season
again demonstrated that it is one of the major bases of the LEB. Confident player Moncho Fernandez, who has as its extension on the track. As a "playmaker" can make many things, both in attack and work address of your computer game. On offense he likes to take responsibility and can score with ease thanks to his good hand to shoot from the perimeter, but can also score in penetration. Is a base that knows how to make good speed and ball handling superiority to create situations for his team. Creative and imaginative player sees the game like few others and has a huge ability to provide assists. Besides talent has character and leadership skills on the track, in fact often appears in hot moments of the games. On the contrary, we need to be more regular in their game and improve on defensive duties, which shows a significant gap. Sometimes monopolizes the ball too ...
6 # Rafa Ruffian : Cadiz base of 1.83 meters and 25 years of age. Formed in the lower categories of Cajasur of Cordoba, became the first team debut in the LEB (98/99) with only 17. From there he transferred to CB Cáceres (ACB). Military arrived in 1999 for the EBA League team, but training with the first team, and debuted in the ACB League in the 00/01 campaign. He played a game in the top national and another in the Korac Cup. The campaign played on the 01/02 the Proalpe CAB Cartagena (EBA), and the 02/03 back to Extremadura to defend the colors of the Circle of Badajoz (LEB-2). After two years (03/05) playing in the EBA League with CB Monteoro Merida in the 05/06 season began in Qalat Caja San Fernando (EBA), but in the absence of a journey to the end of the regular season was recruited by the COB Ourense (LEB-2) to attempt an assault on the LEB. Last season also Gallego played with the box.
will be one of the alternatives to Pedro Rivero in the direction of play, a circumstance that already if you will a few minutes. After his good season with Ourense, CB Los Barrios gives you the opportunity to return to the LEB after many years, so that enthusiasm and excitement did not cease. This is a pure base, with good technical background (ball handling and passing ability) and who likes to print a high rate to all their actions (suitable to change the tempo of the game and play in open fields). On the other hand, is very limited as far as the direction of the static game is concerned. Without being a great shooter, if you can get good triple percentages, although it is not looking too the basket. Intense defense (one of his qualities), he likes to defend hard and that allows you to retrieve more than one ball. A good complement to Rivero, nothing more ...
9 # Filipe da Silva : Portuguese base of 1.93 meters high and 27 years of age. Formed in the quarry of Guimaraes, in its early French played basketball with the Paris SG (97/98), the Maurienne (98/99) and Poissy-Yvelines (99/01). Since then, he has always played in the championship Luso: first with the CAB Madeira (01/03), then two years in the Oliveirense Simoldes (03/05), and the last two campaigns played again the T-CAB Madeira (05/07). A full international for Portugal, last season was part of the "five great" Portuguese championship.
versatile player, as work pede alternate in direction and also act escort if necessary. Very experienced player and prestige in the Portuguese basketball, has good fundamentals and a proper understanding of the game. Without being his forte, on offense especially noted for his ability to counterattack and their ability to penetrate, while in paragraph defensive (his greatest strength) has a wonderful sense of anticipation and a great capacity for sacrifice. Has arrived with a very specific role player rotation and certainly served in the few minutes it takes ...
PERIMETER:
4 # Juanmi Morales : escort "Canary Island" 29 years old and 1.87 meters tall. Trained in various teams based on their island (Santa Brigida, Gran Canaria and CB Heidelberg), soon moved to the mainland to play in the EBA (Elmar León). He returned to the islands to the military branch of Unelco Tenerife (EBA), and in the 98/99 season he got his chance to play in the ACB Gran Canaria. After one year in the top flight in 1999 he went to Menorca (LEB). Following two seasons in the LEB-2 (Alcalá and Plasencia Basketball), before returning to the LEB Ñete endorsed by Bohigas, the coach who may have known better exploit its strengths as a player. With Bohigas played the last five seasons, two with the CB Plasencia (LEB-2), one in the CB Caceres (LEB) and the last two on the bus Burgos (LEB-2). This summer, however, their paths diverged, as the guard decided to accept the offer of CB Los Barrios ...
Juanmi is an escort with experience and much knowledge of the category. Make a work of enormous importance to his team both attack and defense. It is a very aggressive player and resourced in the offensive. He can do damage to face the basket thanks to his good hand from the field: he likes to throw around, but what it does best is to wait to open and close its base to penetrate the opposing defense and throw to receive comfort. It also brings out faults defenders easily and can use their speed to run the counterattack, a facet in which you can drive the ball or stop the same plays. It is a proper defense, very strong in the minutes you are on track. When they arrive the minute "hot" will bring its experience and knowledge to be on the track.
5 # Alejandro Alba : Malaga forward 29 years old and 1.97 meters high. Formed in the lower divisions of Unicaja, is a player with vast experience in the NCAA after passing through the Rosalia, Melilla, Menorca (in this last team he played in two different stages). CB Tarragona reached early in the season 03/04, just after a good year with the team of Mahon, and spent four consecutive seasons (03/07) with the whole "cebetista" before arriving this summer to Los Barrios.
is one of the major players of this team. We are facing a "3" pure, a true SUV. It has some great conditions physical advantage to penetrate the fast counter (the first step is lethal, one of the best in the category) or 1x1 played against his defense. Also notable for its enormous sacrifice defense, so it tends to take care of the best shooters of the rival. Relies on the defensive rebound and intelligence allows you to retrieve many balls. Should improve its technical underpinnings, especially ball-handling and shooting mechanics, effective but slow as far as implementation is concerned. Another of your moles is in his bad percentages from the free throw line, especially if we take into account that many fouls out to attack the opposing defense. Shortly individualistic, it always leaves the door all the good of the team ...
7 # Francesc Sabaté : Barcelona eaves height of 1.94 and 33 years of age. This season has come to the bit body after passing through the Milk River Breogán (LEB). Raised in the lower divisions of San Jose, with whose first team he played in the EBA, in 1997 he transferred to Gramanet (EBA) where he played for two seasons. In 1999 he moved to Menorca (LEB) and his great season next year led him to the ranks of Manresa (LEB). Subsequently, between 2001 and 2003, played for the ambitious project of Tenerife Basketball, who managed to win the Prince Cup and promotion to the ACB, categoría que no conoció ya que acabó en el CAI Zaragoza al año siguiente. En la temporada 04/05 regresó al Menorca, equipo con el también logró ascender a la ACB y jugar un año en dicha categoría (05/06). Disputó la pasada campaña en las filas del Leche Río Breogán (LEB).
Sabaté es un escolta/alero que destaca por su amplia experiencia y capacidad de sacrificio más que por su calidad individual en el perímetro. En este sentido, no es de los que marcan diferencias sobre el parquet; se trata más bien de un jugador con un rol muy específico y que siempre lo deja todo en los minutos de juego que tiene en cada partido. Muy inteligente, conoce el juego como pocos y rara time making wrong decisions. It operates very well on the defensive, so I used Moncho Fernández Alba and blotting with the most respected shooters on the opposing team. In ways not lavish too offensive, although it is an acceptable perimeter shooter, especially from the corners, and even not uncommon to see him go up the bottom line to score under the basket. It also stands out for its ability to run the counter. Instead, his success from the free throw line is rather poor ...
12 # José Antonio Ferrer : Cordoba eaves height of 2.02 meters and 33 years of age. Formed in the lower divisions of Cotuba, has extensive experience in the National Basketball: Cajasur Cordoba (93/97, EBA and LEB), CB Egabrense (97/98, EBA), Breogán (98/99, LEB), Circulo de Badajoz (99/00, LEB), Basketball Porriño (00/01, LEB-2), Cajasur Cordoba (01/02, LEB), CAI Zaragoza (03/05, LEB), Cantabria Lobos (02/03 and 05/06, LEB) and Drac Inca (06/07, LEB). As a young woman came to debut in the ACB League Round Box Malaga.
is a high wing, combining quality and experience. Moreover, its versatility allows you to play both "3" as "4." Ferrer is one of those players who is always willing to sacrifice staff brightness collective good. It has good hand to score from outside (possibly the best shooter of the team) and have the quality to penetrate through the physical. Prefers to move around the perimeter before leaving the low post and is a constant danger for their speed and clarity to execute each action, which makes it a very interesting player tactically, at least in LEB. Knows how to handle the ball, based on the rebound and defend with solvency, even is always looking to aid their comrades. On the contrary, have trouble defending quick, athletic players. Seasons ago was considered the best national player of the LEB in more than one occasion, a fact that speaks if only for their quality and talent.
GAME INSIDE:
10 # Matt Webster : American power forward (born in Indiana), 23 years old and 2.03 meters high, has come to Los Barrios after completing their 4-year college (03/07) in the unknown University of Evansville (NCAA), where in his senior year he averaged 16.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.
His move to Los Barrios is all a gamble, especially considering that this is their first professional experience. In college basketball unfolded as a "3" strong that it could penetrate and damage the painting, but also was able to open and throw triple play with a high level of success. By contrast, Los Barrios is asked to act more like a "4" that can score and defend effectively pivots to move well away from the basket. Does not stop to pick you up the pace with the competition, there are even games that go unnoticed. Although it is an intense player and that is usually displayed successful attack, their defensive shortcomings make him spend many minutes on the bench, and this in turn creates anxiety when you play it out on the track. Aim good manners, but it is clear that there is a basic part Moncho Fernández schemes, but rather a specialist in internal rotation ...
15 # Jesus Chagoyen : Jerez power forward 30 years old and 2.02 meters high. Formed in the quarry of Caja San Fernando, came to play several seasons in the ACB League: Caja San Fernando (95/96), CB Leon (96/00) and Forum Valladolid (01/03). In the 03/05 campaign came to the LEB to play two years in the CB Tarragona, computer from which you came to CB Los Barrios in early 05/06.
is the team captain. Chagoyen is a "4" stands for his strength and fighting ability on the track. Although their role will provide expertise and advocacy the computer, you can write without problems if you have the opportunity and the team needs. Rarely launched from distant positions to the basket, and that which has no bad hand from 4-5 meters, by contrast, prefer to win the position in the low post and scoring around the basket or draw the foul on his defender. He also likes to get out and take a lock to drive to the basket. Although not very high, Chagoyen is a very good rebounder, both in attack and defense, a facet in which very well knows how to use physical volume to gain position in the paint. Up for his lack of inches by printing a huge strength in all his actions, especially when defending a larger pivots. Know run the court and not uncommon to see matt finish with spectacular counterattacks. However, his line of play in the LEB has been somewhat erratic in recent seasons, so this year should take a step forward and be a major player at the individual level ...
13 # Andre Howard : American power forward 2.03 meters tall and 29 years of age. Natural Philadelphia, has an EU passport after marrying a English recently. He trained as a player at the Universities of Pittsburgh and St. Joseph's (NCAA). His career began in Luxembourg (99/00). After playing one season (00/01) in Argentina Ferro Carril Oeste, 01/02 in the campaign came to Spain to enlist for two years in the Gandia Basketball (LEB-2). From there he transferred to CB Calpe (LEB-2), with whom he would get promotion to the LEB last season. However, the poor run of results caused it to be cut by the Alicante. That season (04/05) was completed in the ranks of Celso Miguez (LEB-2). In the 05/06 season made a magnificent season with CAI Huesca La Magia (LEB-2), which led several teams in the LEB were set on it, finishing in the Cantabria Lobos last year.
If it is, must be the "4" owner of all Moncho Fernández. Quality has and experience to our basketball to be an interesting player in the LEB, especially for his physique and the versatility of his game. On offense boasts a great ability to score thanks to his good hand to shoot from the perimeter, or even getting the ball in the low post. Knows the game and not selfish if you can give assistance. In defense can handle perfectly inside players taller and heavier, while in attack could play power forward also higher if necessary. It is also a great rebounder in the area can be intimidating because of its ability to bring earplugs.
11 # Adrian Moss : pivot U.S. 25-year-old and 2.04 meters high, which came to the table with the bowl season started in place of Yemi Nicholson. Educated at the University of Florida (02/06), where the NCAA champion two seasons ago. After leaving college he came to Europe to play in the Danish league with Randers Cimbria (averaged 26 points and 11 rebounds per game) last season, even had time to play two play-off matches in Lausanne Switzerland. This year I started playing in Germany for the Science City Jena, where he averaged 17 points and 11 rebounds to cut him for indiscipline and joined in Los Barrios.
certainly respect the great team and decisive player. This is a pivot of great physical presence and a remarkable athleticism, which makes him a tremendously spectacular player in all its actions. Up front is a beast in positions close to the basket, as for their physical strength and jumping ability is very difficult to defend, may terminate the action with a short jumper or a dunk. You can also play at 4-5 meters from the ring, as it is able to throw the ball to the ground, even occasionally ventures into a triple. Outstanding rebounder on both ends of the court, stands also for their ability to intimidate, as it is able to place caps stratospheric rivals. For Instead, it is bad percentages from the free throw line and lost many balls. And sometimes it seems that he goes a bit nuts, especially by their reactions after some spectacular action ...
TRAINER:
Moncho Fernandez will face its second season in front of CB Los Barrios. Born in Santiago de Compostela for 38 years, began his career on the bench as coach of Gijón Basketball (00/02) in the ACB. Then took over the table for two seasons Gijón (02/04) in the NCAA, after which he worked as an assistant Moncho Lopez in the Milk River Breogán (04/06). Last season he took over the CB Los Barrios in place of Quino Salvo.
