The EA7 Emporio Armani Milan's court, the next European challenge for Valencia Basket

Valencia Basket men's team will face a tough away game in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague round 7, visiting the EA7 Emporio Armani Milan court (Thursday 9, 8:30 p.m., Mediolanum Forum, Movistar Deportes) in a game in which achieve the win would mark a new best start in the highest continental competition in Taronja history.

 

To do this, the taronja team will need to optimize two of the virtues that it displayed at the beginning of the season (defensive efficiency and rebound control) to try to find its first win on a court where it has lost in its three visits (although the taronja has beaten this rival in Italy in the “exiles” of Biella and Desio).

 

The Taronja expedition traveled this afternoon with the physical problems concentrated in the point guard position. Chris Jones (left ankle) is sidelined and Stefan Jovic is questionable, as well as the well-known absence of the long-term injured Martin Hermannsson.

 

Valencia Basket begins this sixth round in fifth position in the Euroleague with a 5-1.
