Valencia Basket needs to recover the best version to visit a Bitci Baskonia on the rise

16/04/2022

Valencia Basket closes its series of three Endesa League away games in a row before the start of the 7DAYS EuroCup Playoffs, seeking to improve its feelings and not end this tour without any win on the court where the taronja squad has historically had the worst results in national competition, Bitci Baskonia’s one (Sunday 17, 6:30 p.m., Fernando Buesa Arena, #Vamos) in a acb round 29 game.

 

The Taronja squad has lost in its last six visits to Vitoria and has not won a Regular Season game on this court for more than eight years, but after the defeats in Bilbao and Seville, coach Joan Peñarroya has had a little more room to prepare this game so that Louis Labeyrie and Sam Van Rossom (who could have minutes again after traveling without participating on the Coosur Real Betis court) recover their feelings after their respective physical problems and so that Olivier Hanlan integrates into the dynamics of the team.

 

The taronja squad has moved an expedition of thirteen players to Vitoria, which includes the North Macedonian point guard Neno Dimitrijevic, absent from the courts due to a viral process for a month and who has just joined the team's practices, so that coach Peñarroya will have to make a discard before the start of the game. The only confirmed sidelined player will be shooting guard Klemen Prepelic.

 

In the quadruple tie at 18-10 between the third and sixth position, and waiting for all the direct confrontations to be played, the Taronja team currently occupies the fifth position of the Endesa League.
