In a group as choral as the Leyma A Coruña, Jacobo Diaz won the award Estrella Galicia for the best player on the orange team in the month of November. The Madrid forward felt proud of an award, he believes, it is more collective than individual. “The strength of the team is that we all trust our teammates,” he acknowledged. The player received the award this Friday at the Coliseum from Luis Sánchez, promoter of Estrella Galicia in A Coruña.
His points and success in the final minutes of the game against Estudiantes were the hottest moment of a month in which Díaz, as part of the interior rotation, has been able to lead the way in scoring from the perimeter. “The Estudiantes game was very complicated. I was lucky that the shots went in,” commented the Madrid native.

Shining in Magariños, a track that Díaz knows well after training “hundreds of times” in his life, was key to deciding the last quarter for the oranges, who managed to overcome a 12-point deficit. “Carles (Marco) gives us a lot of confidence,” the player reiterated, about the support that the coach gives them to make the shot without fear of error.
The coach's confidence is being reflected in the orange power forward's statistics. He averages 48.7% success rate on three-pointers. Brutal precision that allows him to score 10 points per game. In addition, he does not fail under the boards with 4.7 rebounds per duel.

However, Jacobo Díaz could miss the duel due to back discomfort, as confirmed by the coach, Carles Marco, in the press conference prior to the match. “We want to give everything in front of our fans,” warned the player with the November MVP award in hand.
