BAXI Manresa's complicated visit to the Tenerife court
The Manresans will look for their third consecutive victory in the league in a complicated stadium and against a big rival. Santi Vescovi is out and Chuba Ohams is back.
A hard and sweaty victory in Germany, and again a visit on a very difficult court. This is how the week will end for BAXI Manresa, who leave this Friday to the Canary Islands to play tomorrow Saturday (20:45 peninsular time) against La Laguna Tenerife. Diego Ocampo will not be able to count on Santi Vescovi, while Chuba Ohams is already recovered and has trained with the team.
The Bages team is in a good moment in terms of results, but knowing that there are still aspects to improve. He will look to continue the improvement in this 8th day of the Endesa League in Tenerife. A game away from home just before next week's international break.
Laguna Tenerife has only lost one game by 4 points so far this season in the Endesa League. A solid team with a project that has been going on for years, with experienced players and reinforcements that make the team better. Apart from Marcelinho, Shermadini, Fitipaldo or Abromaitis, the islanders have this summer incorporated the winger Kramer or the point guard, known to Manresa fans, Lluís Costa. The team is still managed (since 2018) by Bilbao coach Txus Vidorreta.
In the preview of this eighth day, Diego Ocampo explained that "Tenerife has a very consolidated structure for some time; they play as a team and adapt to the characteristics of their players; it is very difficult to impose a rhythm against Tenerife in the Tenerife court, they have a lot of quality and are very united because many players have been together for a long time».
