BAXI Manresa welcomes the undefeated leader to Congost
Ibon Navarro's Unicaja visits the Manresa court without having lost a single match this season. BAXI Manresa will have Santiago Vescovi out for the next few weeks.
One of the best teams of the moment and of the Endesa League is coming to the Nou Congost. Unicaja, with Ibon Navarro and Sima, Kravish and Tyson, is the high-level rival that will have to be faced this week. A full stadium is expected to face the Andalusians.
BAXI Manresa arrives with its morale restored after a wide victory in the BCL, in which Diego Ocampo's team showed they were in good shape. Santi Vescovi, who was unable to play in this midweek match due to the knee injury he suffered in Madrid, will be out in the coming weeks. Among the remaining 13 players, one more will have to be ruled out to form the roster. The team hopes to continue to keep the Nou Congost impregnable, where, for now, it has only won.
For its part, Unicaja Málaga has established itself as one of the great teams of the Endesa League. They arrive as undefeated leaders of the competition and have been showing for some time that they have a consolidated block with Ibon Navarro at the head. Apart from the coach from Vitoria, we also find acquaintances among the squad, such as the centers Yankuba Sima and David Kravish or the power forward Tyson Pérez. Apart from them, the team also has Tyson Carter, Kameron Taylor and Kendrick Perry, 3 outside players with scoring power.
Diego Ocampo told the media on Friday that «I would highlight that there are 10 players and the coach who have been with the team for more than 2 seasons; maintaining this blog speaks very well of the resources they have to retain them, and they have been successful; all this generates confidence; we must set 2 objectives: continue improving and do so in competition and play at the same level of intensity as them, without looking for any excuses».
