Valencia Basket visit the ratiopharm Ulm’s court in a direct duel for the Group D leadership

Valencia Basket opens a journey of three consecutive away games visiting the ratiopharm Ulm’s court (Wednesday 16, 19:30 h, ratiopharm Arena, Teledeporte) in a duel direct between two of the teams fighting for the first place of the 7DAYS Eurocup group D. Get the win in the ratiopharm Arena will bring the virtual classification for the 7DAYS Eurocup Top 16, a classification that could be mathematical if the Lokomotiv Kuban wins their game. Valencia Basket has traveled to Germany with eleven players, with the absence of the pivot Bojan Dubljevic (that follows with the recovery of his injury in the ankle right) to defend the leadership of the group that holds currently with a 3w- 1l balance.

 

Coach Pedro Martínez quotes

Valencia Basket coach Pedro Martinez has attended Media in the airport of Manises before the team starts their travel to Germany for face the 7DAYS EuroCup week 6 game vs. ratiopharm Ulm (Wednesday 16, 19:30h, Basket Hall, Teledeporte) and has made it clear that he expects a very different game that the one the taronja team won in the first round by a score of 95-58:  "The result of the first round is strange, because it does not correspond to the season they are doing. We are in November and the only official game that they have been lost so far this season has been that. The rest have won them and it shows their potential. Is a team which is playing very good basketball and in the Fonteta they were terrible, surely that our work had something to do with that, but we have to think that the game in their field will be totally different"
