Valencia Basket tests its momentum in Euroleague on the Anadolu Efes Istanbul court

Valencia Basket continues its European tour  with the third away-game of the series of four in a row, which in this case will take the taronja squad to visit the court of one of the most fit teams on the continent, Anadolu Efes Istanbul (Tuesday 2, 6:30 p.m., Sinan Erdem, DAZN / # Vamos) in game of the round 27 of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague.

 

The taronja team once again depends on its own results in the race to enter the Playoff positions after chaining three consecutive wins against Real Madrid, CSKA Moscow and Zenit St. Petersburg and will try to maintain that line of play in one of the most important complicated courts of the competition and against a rival who is proving intractable from the start of the second leg.

 

The historical, moreover, is unavoidable to the men of Jaume Ponsarnau, who have never been able to beat this Turkish team on their court in the three previous visits, although they knocked Anadolu Efes down in the first leg with a winning basket from Klemen Prepelic on the final buzzer

 

In a match game of interesting duels, the brand new MVP of the month of February, Nikola Kalinic, will be on the tables of Sinan Erdem as the two players who have monopolized the designation of players of the week in the last three rounds: Larkin and Micic.

 

Guillem Vives (back) remains sidelined but the thirteen players who have traveled to Turkey this morning are available for the game, including the Serbian Vanja Marinkovic, who was the one who rested in Sunday's game on the MoraBanc court. Andorra. Valencia Basket currently occupies the ninth position of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, with 14-12 in the standings.
