The BAXI Manresa receives a Coviran Granada clearly on the rise
The Andalusians won the last day in Zaragoza. The Catalans do not have Vaulet or Jou, but they will be looking for their fourth victory against old favorites such as Lluís Costa, Pere Tomàs or Joe Thomasson.
BAXI Manresa will face Coviran Granada this Sunday at Nou Congost at 12:30 p.m., which, after winning its first match, is getting stronger and stronger. Those from Bages will have to try to compete without Guillem Jou, injured in the back, and Juampi Vaulet, who has torn a ligament in his hand.
It is time to receive the support of the local public to compensate for the loss of fighting men. After the visit to Valencia, in which the team was competitive until the last quarter but could not win, return home to fight against Granada. Now it's time to receive a team that, despite having only one victory, will be in great danger.
The Andalusians have taken the burden of not having any victories, although they had lost several games by a very small difference (4 by less than 10 points). Pablo Pin's team is being competitive against any opponent, and has very talented players: Lluís Costa is having an impeccable season, Joe Thomasson is still a benchmark and Cristiano Felicio is a pivot difficult to stop. In addition, players such as Kwan Cheatham or David Kramer, world champion with Germany, have arrived this season.
Pedro Martínez said today in the press conference that "all our games have been decided by less than 6 points, and I do not consider Granada to be a candidate for relegation, they have lost 2 games with extra time but they are competing really good; they have very difficult players to defend like Costa, Thomasson or Felicio, and the player who makes more three-pointers in the league [Cheatham].».
