Valencia Basket seeks to change its dynamics in the Endesa League hosting Club Joventut Badalona

Valencia Basket faces its third game in five days to try to break its recent bad dynamics in the Endesa League facing Club Joventut Badalona (Sunday 4, 5:00 p.m., Fonteta, Movistar Deportes) in a game corresponding to round 29 of the national league.

 

After the accumulated wear of playing 44 hours ago to win on the ALBA Berlin’s court and with the decisive game of the final round of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague vs. TD Systems Baskonia on the horizon, the taronja team needs to find the most of energy, concentration and positive feelings to end a streak that is already three consecutive defeats in the acb.

 

In its favor has the recent precedents, since it has beaten the green-black team in the last eleven occasions that it has visited the Fonteta, and the clashes this season, since the taronja squad beat Penya both in preseason and in the game of the first leg in Badalona.

 

In a game between two of the teams that shoot better from the three-points line in the Endesa League, Icelandic point guard Martin Hermannsson remains out of action despite making progress in recovering from broken fibers in the soleus of the right leg that it has made him miss the last four games of the taronja team. The taronja team currently occupies the sixth position in the Endesa League with a balance of 17-10.
