Valencia Basket seeks to recover feelings in the Endesa League in the very hard court of Barça

Valencia Basket begins a month of December in which it will have to play twelve games with the complicated task of trying to transfer its good feelings in European competition to the Endesa League on one of the most difficult courts to do so, the Barça’s one (Tuesday 1, 9:15 p.m., Palau Blaugrana, Movistar Deportes) in an early game on round 17.

 

The Taronja squad will try to break its bad streak in national competition on a court that historically has not been conducive to it, but from which it has won in four of his last nine visits to the Endesa League. To change this bad dynamic, Valencia Basket will have to beat a rival who is intractable at home and has won their eleven games at the Palau Blaugrana.

 

In an afternoon in which Guillem Vives can become the fifth player with the most acb games in the Club's history, coach Jaume Ponsarnau will maintain the same three absences he had in last Friday's game in Istanbul, so Louis Labeyrie, Joan Sastre and Vanja Marinkovic will be sidelined
