Hard test for Valencia Basket against an Herbalife Gran Canaria in a roll

Valencia Basket faces the second of their three consecutive home games in a row opening the second round of the Endesa League in the Fonteta receiving Herbalife Gran Canaria (Saturday 28, 18: 30h, Movistar Deportes 1 dial 55) in the week 19 Endesa League game. After certifying the pass to the next round of the 7DAYS EuroCup, the taronja team will try to extend their good streak in the Fonteta (eleven wins in a row at home) and their good precedents vs. this rival to return to the path of triumph in Endesa League. This match, which will be the 150th match of Bojan Dubljevic in the Spanish League with Valencia Basket, will be a preview of the quarter-final qualifier of the Copa del Rey that will return to face these two teams on Friday February 17th in Vitoria. Valencia Basket currently occupies the fifth position of the League Endesa with a balance of 12 wins and 5 losses.

 

Pedro Martínez: “They come in good shape, will demand our maximum"

Valencia Basket coach, Pedro Martínez, has pointed out in the preview press conference that expects "a very hard game. Herbalife Gran Canaria is a team that is now in a very good shape. They are a very athletic team, the best team of the League in offensive rebound, with many players able to score three-pointers. A very complete team that plays very well and that will really demand our maximum"
