BAXI Manresa receives a visit from Hiopos Lleida in very good shape
Manresa will play their seventh Liga Endesa match this Sunday at 12:00 against the season's surprise team. Coach Diego Ocampo will have all his players available for Sunday's game.
The seventh round of the Liga Endesa is here, and BAXI Manresa will host one of the league's most in-form teams. Hiopos Lleida visits the Nou Congost in top form. BAXI Manresa's entire squad is ready for Sunday's game at noon.
BAXI Manresa is looking to bounce back from their recent poor run of results by playing at home against a very dangerous opponent. After their defeat in Murcia and their loss in Romania, Diego Ocampo's team wants to show their best competitive form again in front of their fans. It remains to be seen which of the 14 players on Diego Ocampo's roster will be left out of the final squad.
A surprise team arrives at the Nou Congost, enjoying a brilliant start to the season, having defeated top teams like Baskonia last week. The team coached by Gerard Encuentra has made some very strong additions this summer, such as John Shurna and Melvin Ejim, from Gran Canaria and Unicaja respectively. They've also added Caleb Agada, one of the team's top scorers, along with the re-signed James Batemon. A very dangerous team in great form.
Diego Ocampo said in Friday's pre-game press conference that «they've started very well, playing sensationally and competing very well; we're not competing as we'd like; they're a team that has strengthened with very experienced players, they've been able to re-sign Batemon, who is a league star, Ejim, who is a two-time champion with Unicaja...; we'll have to stop their perimeter game, but this danger also creates advantages.»
