Valencia Basket measures its improvement vs. the hottest team in the acb, Lenovo Tenerife

Valencia Basket men's team returns to Fonteta to face a direct duel in the race for Playoff positions against the team with the best streak in the Endesa League, Lenovo Tenerife (Sunday 21, 5:00 p.m., Fonteta, Movistar+ Deportes 3) in an acb round 30 game.

 

The taronja team will try to extend its good dynamics in national competition since the arrival of Xavi Albert and impose his rhythm (he has risen to 79.4 possessions per game since the change on the bench) against an opponent who is the one who plays the slowest in the competition.

 

To do this, they will have the support of La Fonteta, where they have won in their last two games against this rival and where they dominate in previous confrontations by 11-2.

 

Our team will maintain the same two sidelined players from last week: the long-term injured Boubacar Touré and the point guard Kevin Pangos (broken femoral biceps in his left leg). The Taronja coach must make two technical discards, one of them necessarily an American player.

 

Valencia Basket begins this day in seventh position in the Endesa League with a balance of 18-11, but if it wins it could overtake the black and yellow team in the standings, with the particular basket-average won by 2-0 after the win in the first leg game by 86-94.
