The current star of the Liga Endesa speaks Catalan. Oriol Paulí scored 27 points against Barça and 28 against Unicaja. His current form is key for Hiopos Lleida as they seek to secure their permanence. This Saturday's opponent is Recoletas Salud San Pablo Burgos. “I'm in a good moment. In sports, dynamics are very important. There have been weaker moments during the season too, but now I'm in a very good physical and mental state. The goal is to try to extend this moment as much as possible because it helps me play with a lot of confidence,” he says.Since this season, Paulí is the ambassador of Catalan basketball. “For me, it's an honor. There are many Catalan players, and that they thought of me fills me with pride. It makes you think you're doing things right, not just as a player but also as a person. When the Catalan Federation proposed it to me, I didn't hesitate for a moment because it's a very big milestone,” he acknowledges. The forward is eager to wear the Catalan national team jersey again. “I would be very excited. I think the last game I played with the Catalan national team was when I was 15 years old. To wear the Catalonia jersey again would be very special. I couldn't be at the centenary match against Argentina, and now I would love to be able to do it. Every time I meet Ferran Aril, president of the FCBQ, I ask him about it,” he admits.
