BAXI Manresa kicks off the season in Ljubljana
Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana is Bages' first opponent in the Eurocup opener away from home. Diego Ocampo has all his players at his disposal.
A new season begins for BAXI Manresa, who travel to Slovenia this Tuesday to play the first game of the EuroCup regular season. The match will be played on Wednesday at 6:30 PM, and it remains to be seen which player will rule out Diego Ocampo.
The moment of truth has arrived for BAXI Manresa. The official season begins with the first game of the EuroCup group stage. The Manresa team is in Group A, along with nine other teams. The Slovenian champions are their first opponent. Diego Ocampo's team travels after a good preseason and with all their players available.
The opponent for this first matchday is Cedevita, a classic on the European scene. The Slovenians have a team with well-known names, such as Greek Nikos Chougkaz, Jaka Blazic, and Aleksej Nikolic, among others. The green squad is coached by Zvezdan Mitrovic. They're a team destined to be competitive in this Eurocup, with players of proven talent.
Diego Ocampo noted in the pre-match press conference that "Cedevita did very well last season, reaching the Eurocup play-offs; they've maintained much of the same style as last season; they have great talent from the outside and great versatility inside. They're a very tactical and strategically trained team given this stage of the season."
