BAXI Manresa seeks second in the league against Bilbao and with Congost factor

The fifth day of the Endesa League is a new opportunity to compete and show that the team is still in shape and competitive. The red team will host Bilbao Basket, which has already achieved 2 victories in Miribilla so far in the league. Alfonso Plummer, who is still injured, will be missing from the roster.

El Nou Congost is preparing for a new important battle. BAXI Manresa wants to play a good game against Bilbao Basket, which already has 2 victories. This is a double game week. In the first match, they lost to a great team in the Eurocup, but now it is time to put the Endesa League chip back on the table and continue to be competitive.

Jaume Ponsarnau's team has started the Endesa League by playing strong in Miribilla and winning 2 games. The men in black retain some names from last season, such as Melvin Pantzar, Harald Frey, Darrun Hilliard or Tryggvi Hlinason, but this summer they have incorporated other pieces such as Krampelj, Jaworski or Normantas.

Diego Ocampo, who appeared before the media in advance of the match, explained that «Jaworski is a player who has an impact from his 3-point shot on the team and in the competition in which he plays, but there are other players like Hilliard who can also shoot from 3, finish with the right and left... and the two points are the extension of the coach on the court; they have won the matches at home with solvency, thinking in the last quarter more in the average than in the match; it is difficult to break their balance, they have Hlinason inside, they are very experienced».
