BAXI Manresa visits Aris Thessaloniki on Matchday 4 of the Eurocup

Aris Thessaloniki is one of the classic teams of European basketball and BAXI Manresa's next opponent in the Eurocup. The Greeks are waiting on a very hot court, while those from Bages want to take advantage of a difficult visit. The Reds are monitoring the 13 first-team players, and it remains to be seen which of them will be left out of tomorrow's match.

After a close match at the Nou Congost against a successful Gran Canaria, BAXI Manresa now continues competing in the Eurocup in a season that offers no respite for Diego Ocampo's players. The team will try to continue growing and adapting to the high competitive pace required this season. A tough and physical match is expected.

This Tuesday's opponent in Thessaloniki has also won two of its three matches played in the competition, one of which was a worthy victory on the Reyer Venezia court. The Greeks base their game on great outside playmakers and scorers like Jones, Forbes, and Mitrou-Long, while they have a lot of physical ability in the paint. In their last game in the Greek league, they lost after two overtimes to Maroussi.

Carlos Flores, assistant coach of BAXI Manresa, explained in the preview that «the team is adapting and trying to grow in this new competition; we are eager to continue competing at the highest level on a tough court; our opponent has played well and competed in recent games despite not getting a good result; in the outside line, they have very good one-on-one players with great playmaking ability like Bryce Jones, Mitrou Long, and Bryn Forbes; we will have to control these players and dominate the physical actions and impose our pace.»
