Last Regular Season away game to visit Movistar Estudiantes’ court

Valencia Basket will play their last Regular Season away game visiting the Movistar Estudiantes’ court (Wednesday 10, 20:00h, WiZink Center, Movistar + dial 192) in a meeting in which the taronja team would certify at least mathematical the third place in case of victory. The Taronja squad has even options to secure second place, although it does not depend on itself for that (to that hypothetical triumph in Madrid should join a defeat of Baskonia in their visit to Bilbao).

Coach Pedro Martinez will keep for this match the absences of centers Slava Kravtsov and Mike Tobey, who continue with their respective recovery processes. In a match in which the point guard Sam Van Rossom can get into the Top 15 of games played with Valencia Basket, the winner of the match will unbalance the historic match-up, which is currently tied with 27 wins for each team. Valencia Basket reaches this penultimate day of the regular season located in the second position of the League Endesa, with a balance of 22 wins and 8 losses.

Pedro Martínez: "We must improve on the road and we can do it"

Valencia Basket coach, Pedro Martínez, said in the pre-press conference that "we depend on us to be second and we consider that it is very important. We do not believe that we will get it easy because we play against rivals who are surely at their best moment of the season, both Movistar Estudiantes and UCAM Murcia. We think they are going to be difficult matches, especially tomorrow because it is in their court, where Movistar Estudiantes is playing very solid".
