Finish of the Taronja Weekend hosting Coosur Real Betis at Fonteta

The third of the three games in a row at Fonteta will be the one facing the Valencia Basket men’s team against Coosur Real Betis in a Endesa League round 3 game (Sunday 6, 5:00 p.m., Fonteta, Movistar Deportes). The Taronja squad wants to remake itself after the defeat at the premiere in the Turkish Airlines Euroleague and returns home to face the other team that has returned this season to the elite of Spanish basketball. The two teams with less turnovers and two of the best in attack will face each other in the Fonteta, so Valencia Basket will try to impose the home-court advantage and its good dynamics in recent precedents (it has been imposed in 5 of the last 6 visits of the Sevillian team).

 

With time until tomorrow at noon to make changes in the squad, it is currently Maurice Ndour (who debuted on Friday in Euroleague) and Jordan Loyd (who has missed the last two games for a right knee) who are deactivated. Coosur Real Betis has gathered on its return to the Endesa League a very interesting battery of outside players with experience at the highest level (Rivers, Sipahi, Conger, AJ Slaughter ...) but it is being the center Shayne Whittington who has started leading the White and Green project, which added its first win last weekend after beating Joventut by 95-88.
