Direct duel in the fight for the semifinals vs. San Pablo Burgos

Valencia Basket faces the first of the two finals that lie ahead to try to get into the semifinals of the Liga Endesa Final Round with a direct confrontation against another team that depends on itself to advance the round, San Pablo Burgos (Wednesday 24, 9:30 p.m., Fonteta, #Vamos). The Taronja squad knows that if wins the two remaining games will be in the semifinals on Sunday, so a victory against the Burgos would keep him with all his options and depending on himself to stay alive in the tournament.

 

The team led by Jaume Ponsarnau defends the provisional leadership of group B, will repeat at home and has in its favor both the general history (he has always beaten San Pablo Burgos in an official match) and this season (he clearly imposed himself in the two Regular League matches, both at the Coliseum Burgos and in Valencia).

 

Although the Castilian box already knows what it is to beat the Taronja team at the Fonteta this same season, although he did it in the presentation tournament of Valencia Basket. Guillem Vives (fracture of the first finger of his left hand) remains sidelined and Maurice Ndour remains out of the dynamics of the group due to discomfort in his left knee that has not allowed him to debut yet in this tournament.
