BAXI Manresa, fighting difficulties, visits a revived Baskonia
Dani Pérez's serious injury puts him in trouble trying to fight a great team that has revived with Dusko Ivanovic. Pivot Jordan Sakho is back.
The BAXI Manresa travels to Vitoria-Gasteiz this Saturday to play the 16th day of the Endesa League. Pedro Martínez's men face a very difficult challenge: to compete in front of one of the great squads of the competition, which also awakened with the arrival of ** Dusko Ivanovic **. The injury to ** Dani Pérez ** leaves the base position touched.
Changes forced once again by injuries to the "roster" of the BAXI Manresa. Pedro Martínez's team will leave Manresa ** Yankuba Sima ** and ** Deividas Dulkys ** to balance the list with the necessary training players. ** Dani Perez ** will be off for a month, but return for this game ** Jordan Sakho **.
On the other side of the court there will be a Baskonia reviving after the arrival of ** Dusko Ivanovic ** on the bench. The Basques won Barça in the Euroleague this week by playing a great game, and they need to climb back to the Endesa League, where they have 7 wins and are 11th.
Coach ** Martín Martínez ** said in a press conference that *** "the team had to change things in the attack and defense that had to be changed slightly to adapt to the changes of players in the base position; there is a feeling in Baskonia that they are very bad, and this is not true: in this season they have won 30 at Bayern Munich and 20 at Olympiakos ... they have played very well, as last with Barça; we must prepare ourselves for the best Baskonia possible »***.
