Visit to La Coruña by a BAXI Manresa with the desire to continue progressing
The Bages team is looking for its first away win in the Endesa League on the court of a rival it has not faced since the season in the LEB Oro.
BAXI Manresa travel to La Coruña this Friday to seek their sixth victory in the Endesa League. Diego Ocampo's team wants to cause problems for a team that arrives after winning away from home against Hiopos Lleida after extra time.
After a valuable victory against Barça at the Nou Congost, BAXI Manresa now has the challenge of trying to win a league match away from home, which for now is resisting. The team led by the Galician Diego Ocampo will not be able to count on Santi Vescovi and Guillem Jou to travel to A Coruña, still injured and in the final stretch of their recovery.
On the local side, Diego Epifanio has a squad that mixes veteran players with young talent. The Galicians have won 3 games, the last one away against Lleida. In the Riazor team we find an old acquaintance of our fans, the point guard Álex Hernández, and the also point guard Brandon Taylor, last season in Manresa.
Coach Diego Ocampo spoke about Saturday's opponent, saying that «they have a structure from the last two seasons of coaches and many players; they have reinforced themselves with players of a high level and experience and they have a lot of offensive talent; the signings they have brought in know the league and know what needs to be done; in attack they can do low-ball, off-ball, direct or indirect blocking and they are one of the best attacks in the league.»
