Valencia Basket seeks for a good end to their week hosting UCAM Murcia

Valencia Basket puts its recovery capacity to the test hosting UCAM Murcia at the Fonteta just 40 hours after the end of the game in which it released its victories record yesterday on the Baxi Manresa court and with a full infirmary (Sunday 26, 12:30 p.m., Fonteta, Movistar Deportes). Mike Tobey, absent from the Nou Congost due to some discomfort in the pubis, will be the main doubt along with the situation of Martin Hermannsson, who was able to help achieve the victory in Manresa despite the injury he is dragging in his left arm. To try to close the week well, the Taronja team will have the support of taronja fans that will be able to occupy up to 40% of the capacity of the Fonteta in a game that is included in the Basketya! season ticket and from the young players of the LEB Plata team Ferrando, Jiménez, Bressan and Bellver to complete the roster due to the confirmed sidelined: Sam Van Rossom, Klemen Prepelic, Jasiel Rivero and Xabi López-Arostegui.

 

To have options against a dangerous rival that since 2013 has won in the Fonteta three times (although the Taronja team dominates the precedents and has won in the last three visits), Joan Peñarroya's men must maintain the good defensive level of this start of the Endesa League that have led them to be the third best defense after the first two rounds (70.5 points conceded) although the taronja squad faces the fifth team that has received the fewest points (75.5 for Murcia) and he will find again some accuracy through the collective game (the taronja team leads the acb in assists with 19.5 bucket passes). Valencia Basket occupies the seventh position of the Endesa League with a balance of 1-1.
