BAXI Manresa visits Andorra with the desire to demonstrate competitiveness
The Bages team has doubts about Obasohan and Alston, who have not been able to train, in addition to the absence of Armel Traoré. Last match of the regular league away from home.
BAXI Manresa travels to Andorra this Friday to play the penultimate match of the Endesa League. The Andorrans already know that they cannot lose the category and want to give away a victory in the last match in front of their fans. Diego Ocampo already knows that he will not be able to count on Traoré, and has doubts about Alston and Obasohan.
Last two matches of the regular league and BAXI Manresa wants to demonstrate, as they did on the last match against Real Madrid, that they can compete against anyone and on any court. The Reds will try to exhaust all possibilities of being among the top 8, although it no longer depends exclusively on them. The Manresa coach Diego Ocampo explained that Derrick Alston Jr. is doubtful with a stomach virus and Retin Obasohan with discomfort since the last match.
The visit this Saturday at 18:00 is at the MoraBanc Andorra court, which has already been mathematically saved. In the ranks of the Andorrans, led by Joan Plaza, two old acquaintances from the Nou Congost: the scorer Jerrick Harding and the assistant coach Paco Vázquez. It is the last match of the Pyrenees in "la Bombonera" this season and they will want to give one last joy in front of their fans.
Diego Ocampo, in the preview of this day, pointed out that «in the first round they played a great game; I have worked with Joan Plaza and he has a series of very clear priorities; in the last 5 matches they have only lost 12 balls; Despite Harding's absence, they have Evans, Kuric and other great sources of scoring, but we have to take it with team and individual responsibility; this duality between individual and team responsibility is key to being able to compete».
