BAXI Manresa hosts leader Cedevita at the start of the 2nd round of the Eurocup

The regular phase of the EuroCup begins the second half with a strong opponent at Nou Congost: the leader, Cedevita, arrives. BAXI Manresa wants to confirm that it maintains its level of competitiveness intact after the good match in Badalona, ​​where it was able to cover for the absence of Dani Pérez.

Nou Congost will experience a great challenge this Wednesday at 20:45 with the visit of Cedevita, a very good team. Diego Ocampo and his men are preparing for the match with the intention of continuing the good line of play that they have managed to bring in recent matches, including the defeat in Badalona this Sunday, well played against a theoretically superior team. Now it's time to play the European competition at home, in a week with 2 matches in Congost. Dani Pérez will still not be able to play, injured in the femoral biceps.

For their part, the Slovenians arrive immersed in a very good streak in the Eurocup: they are leaders and have won the last 4 games. Zvezdan Mitrovic leads a team with great players such as Nikolic or the Americans Gibson and Stewart. The team is complemented by experienced players such as Jaka Blazic or Nikos Chougkaz, with experience in the Endesa League.

Assistant coach Nacho Juan analyzed the rival explaining that "Cedevita is the leader and has shown a lot of solidity; we need a very high level of physical demand, in rebounding, protecting the paint and being more solid in defending one on one, they are a very patient team; they are a very compact team, with point guard Gibson as an outside generator and other men with ACB experience such as Blazic or Nikolic, they have very high-level individuals".
