BAXI Manresa receives Valencia Basket and wants to be strong in the Nou Congost
The Bages team is still chasing the permanence, this time in front of a powerful and talented team. Pedro Martínez will have to rule out a player for Sunday's match at 20:00.
After 3 matches away from home, BAXI Manresa returns to the Nou Congost to embrace its people and has the help of the public to try to knock down a great team: Valencia Basket. Those of Pedro Martínez don't have any man with disabling discomfort.
Despite playing a great match at the Martín Carpena, BAXI Manresa found themselves outclassed by Unicaja who made a great success in the three-pointers in the last minutes. Now Valencia is visiting the Congost, a talented team that has practically assured its presence in the play-offs. Pedro Martínez explained today that there are some players with discomfort but none of them with a major injury. He will have to do without one of his 13 men for the match.
On the other hand, the orange team, ranked eighth in the Endesa League, has a roster full of talent and proven players. Names like Rivero, Dubljevic or Chris Jones, and experience in players like Claver, van Rossom or Prepelic. Àlex Mumbrú and his team are eighth and have a foot and a half in the play-offs for the title.
Coach Pedro Martínez said today that “if nothing happens, we have all the players; We played against a 'top' team, with fantastic players, difficult to defend, centers that shoot 3 points... a Euroleague team, of which we have barely won any; we must play a great match to have a chance of winning; We have the impulse of our fans and the need we have to win.
