BAXI Manresa receives a needed Granada again in the Congost
The Andalusians have a victory and are fighting to get out of the last places at the start of the league. The team from Manresa want to continue, this Saturday at 18:00, the good run of play at home and with the absences of Vescovi and Ohams.
BAXI Manresa wants to continue to have good feelings, and has the chance to do so again in Congost, in the second consecutive Endesa League match at home. After the great victory against Unicaja, they are facing an opponent who wants to win and needs to add points.
For the Bages team, Diego Ocampo will be without Santi Vescovi with a knee injury and Chuba Ohams, also injured, for the match on Saturday at 18:00. The latest results give confidence, but the team cannot leave the good competitive tone in a league that is expected to be complicated and disputed at all levels of the classification.
The team from Granada has had a difficult start to the competition, with a resounding victory on the court of Bàsquet Girona in the third match. They have plenty of talent in all positions, and key players such as the pivot Amine Noua or those known to the Manresa fans Sergi Garcia, Elias Valtonen and Pere Tomàs. Apart from them, there are players with experience in the Endesa League and proven quality, such as Jonathan Rousselle, Scott Bamforth or Jacob Wiley.
Diego Ocampo spoke to the media before the match. The Galician coach pointed out that «Granada is a team that never gives up and a club that has been growing steadily and stably for some time; they have talented players with experience in European basketball and in the ACB; Bamforth, Clavell... are very talented players».
